Jan 29, 2023 6:00pm-8:00pm (ended)

6 PM Pacific Time, In-person event
Every month, a special program is held in honor of Amma’s birthstar, Karthika. Swamini Ambikamrita Prana will lead the Karthika program with a very special Bhagavati Seva Puja. The program will include Amma’s 108 names, bhajans and Arati.
The event is open to all. 
Registration for special intent is available, as below, with option to join virtually.

The Bhagavati Seva Puja, is an ancient Vedic puja ceremony done to restore balance in the environment and bring peace within us and the world. It balances the malefic effects of planets. It is a very beneficial puja performed to keep us in harmony with cosmic forces, thereby removing and overcoming the sorrows of life and bringing spiritual upliftment. The puja will be done in the traditional Kerala style by Swamini.

Registration is available for a sankalpa (special intent) to be made on your behalf, or for a loved one, during the puja. Please sign up by Sunday, January 29, 12 PM PST.
