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.

Pujas will begin 8 PM
10th morning puja begins at 6AM.   

Every night there will be Daily Chanting and Reading from the Devi Mahtmyam stories.
There will be chanting  YA DEVI SARVA BHUTESHU—–every night after the Devi Mahtymayam reading.
There will be 108 Names Archana for the corresponding deities.

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.

A final puja on the morning of the tenth day represents the victory of the Goddess over the asuras (demons or negative qualities).

Donations of flowers and prasad (sweet foods) are welcome.
