Nine Nights in Celebration of the Divine Mother
Join in Nine Nights of worship to Goddess in the form of the Divine Mother at one of the most inspirational times of the year.

Each night for these nine nights there will be puja (traditional Vedic worship ritual) and we will read and chant nightly from the Devi Mahatmyam, the scripture describing the story and feats of the Divine Mother.
