Dear Yagya Friends,

On behalf of all the priests and pundits, I want to pass along their very best wishes for an abundant and prosperous year in 2011.  We have accomplished so much in the past 12 months and there is much more to come in 2011.  It is a very exciting and time for our Puja.net community. 

Our first detailed monthly e-newsletter will be available next week....lots of information on the yagyas, photos of the Navagraha temples, special recordings of Navagraha mantras, and more...

Enjoy the yagyas!

Warm regards,

Navagraha

January Navagraha Yagyas - 1/17 through 1/26 - $51

As is our tradition, the focus of the January yagya series will be on the nine planets (Navagraha).  Seetharam and our priests will be traveling to nine different planetary temples in the Kanchipuram area to perform these special yagyas.  This series has always been a great way to start the year and is especially important this year because Jupiter, Saturn, and Rahu/Ketu are all changing signs.

You can find full details and sign up by clicking here.

Rig Veda Pavamana Soma Yagya Series - Wed. 1/26 - $21

In December we offered for the first time, the Pavamana Soma Yagya.  It was very successful with many participants reporting strong experiences of mental clarity, deep silence, and stability.  Based on this success, we have added this yagya to our monthly program of group yagyas and will again offer a 10 day program of Pavamana Soma Yagyas in December 2011.

Lakshmi Yagyas


Greetings Yagya Friends,

 

Our August Yagya Program features an extensive Lakshmi Yagya and Navagraha Yagya series.  First, we have organized an elaborate 10 Day Lakshmi Yagya featuring 1008 repetitions of the powerful Sri Suktam from the Rig Veda, concluding with the Pavamana Soma Yagya and 2 days of Temple Yagyas; one for Lakshmi and one for the Navagraha. 

At the same time, we are offering a 19 Day Navagraha Yagya through the end of August featuring pujas and 1008 daily repetitions of the Vedic mantra for each planet, ending with a traditional Navagraha fire yagya on August 31st.

The entire 10 day Lakshmi and 22 day Navagraha program is only $61.  Alternatively, you can be a part of the  Navagraha program alone for $31, or participate in everything plus 30 days of Daily Yagyas for $87. As always families are included.

 

With all the planets finally reaching some reasonably good positions, this combination of yagyas will provide needed peacefulness and smoothness.  Every day gives a subtle boost, deeper meditations, more patience and happiness, and abundance - just what Lakshmi represents.

For more details on each day of the program and to sign up, please click here.

Dear Yagya Friends,

 

A big "thank you" to everyone for supporting and participating in the August yagya program.   

 

The Navagraha yayas have just a few more days to run and then the September Ancestor series will begin on the 9th of September.  The Puja.net web site will be updated and full details will be sent to you by the end of this week.

 

But first we have a free Vinayaka Chaturthi yagya on September 1st.  This one day yagya celebrates the birthday of Ganesha (Vinayaka) with the traditional abishekam and an offering 1008 sweet modaka into the yagya fire, each time the Ganesha mantra is repeated.  

   

Ganesha is the vedic deity who removes obstacles and smooths our path through life as we progress towards greater prosperity and enlightenment. Traditionally, Ganesha is a vital part of every yagya and is invoked at the beginning of every puja and yagya. He is also known as Vighneshwara, the one who removes all obstacles and so he assures the success of the yagyas and the delivery of the results to the participants.   

 

We are happy to offer this event as a free yagya to all those who participated in any part of our Lakshmi/Navagraha program this month.     

 

You don't have to do anything...if you participated in the August yagyas, you are already signed up.    

If you did not participate in August, you are welcome to join us.  Please click here, the cost is only $11 per person.

    

 

Enjoy the yagya and the blessings of Ganesha!

Very best regards,

Ancestor Yagyas

5 Day Shiva/Shakti, Ancestor and Ganga Yagya
10 priests
September 9 through 13 - Varanasi 

$51  

 

Greetings Yagya Friends,     

This time of year is a special time for the performance of ancestor yagyas (Pitra Paksha), especially in Varanasi, Northern India. These traditional yagya rituals are performed each year to ensure spiritual and material support for the previous generations of our family. We are fortunate to have 10 pundit specialists who will be performing these yagyas for you as they have for the past eight years.    

  

This Yagya Program will be performed in Varanasi, on the banks of the sacred Ganges river, traditionally the home of Shiva and Parvati.  We begin with a 3 day Shiva/Shakti yagya followed by 1 full day of Ancestor Yagyas, and conclude with a yagya for Ganga - the divine form of the river itself, and symbol of purity and liberation for all generations.  Instead of our usual 5 priests, we are fortunate to have 10 priests for every day of these ancient rituals.    

  

At the same time our usual program of group deity and planetary yagyas will be performed in Kanchipuram.

  

The Vedas emphasize the importance of family and speak of how yagyas benefit previous generations who, in turn, support us with their blessings.  Due to the importance of this yagyas series, we are hoping to stimulate a lot of participation by keeping the cost to a modest $51 for the 5 day yagya in Varanasi and the 7 day group yagya series in Kanchipuram.  Please join us! 


For more details on each day of the program and to sign up, please click here.   

  

yagya 

 

Our Ganesha Chaturthi yagya was a great success.  More photos will be available on the puja.net website and in the September Newsletter which will be distributed on Monday, 9/5. 

We actually  had two yagyas; one in Kanchipuram and one in Bangalore, thanks to Seetharam and his tireless efforts!  Thanks to all who took part.
 

Upcoming Events

 

Navaratri comes early this year and our traditional yagya series will run from September 27 thru October 6th.  This will be our October series.   

 

There will also be special celebration yagyas for Deepavali (Lakshmi) and Skanda Shasti (Subramanya/Mars) later in the month.  

 
I always say it, because it is always true....the priests and pundits are genuinely appreciative of everyone's continued support.  We participate because we benefit ourselves, but in the process of doing so many, many other people are able to lead satisfying and productive lives doing what they love to do...perform yagyas.  Thank you.

  

Very best regards,

Dear Juan Prabhu,
Hare Krishna.Dandvat Pranam.

I am sure that this email of mine will find you in good health and high spirits.
 
Srila Gurumaharaj blessed us (Myself and Pujyapad Srikant Das ji) with His service and sent us to Europe. Our trip to Austria and Czek Republic was fruitful and now we are in France. In this European trip, so many favourable incidents are happening, which indicate that Srila Gurumaharaj want us to do something.

 
For e.g. Tridandi Swami Bhakti Chakor Nrisingha Maharaj of Vienna had a dream of Srila Gurumaharaj, before our arrival. He saw that Srila Gurumaharaj is discussing with him and Pujyapad Tridandi Swami Bhakti Sadhak Muni Maharaj (Incharge of Vienna Math) in temple hall about preaching.
 
In France, devotees said that we had firm faith that Pujyapad Srikant Das ji will definitely arrive in Roune temple as we used to play devotional songs sung by him daily in front of Sri Vigraha.
 
Preaching programs overhere are going well. We are now with Sripad Yashoda-nandan Prabhu, Sripad Vishmabhar Prabhu, Srimati Braj-vasini Mataji, Srimati Lalita Mataji, Srimati Revati Mataji, Sripad Srimurti Prabhu, Srimati Kamal-latika Mataji . Sri Indriya-dam Prabhuji are here with us. They all are old friends as they had with us when we came here 9-10 years back. We had stayed together for about 15 days at that times. They used to attend all the programs of Srila Gurumaharaj during His visits to France. Now they are bringing new devotees in our programs.
 
The atmosphere is good. We have Harikatha/Sankirtan during morning hours at 10 am - 12 hours and evening hours at 5pm-7pm followed by half and hour questions/answers session in both. After that q-a sessions, we also have Sri Gaur-arati and Nritya-kirtan for half and hour daily. 
 
I am experiecning mercy of Guru-Vaishnav-Bhagavan.

As you sow, so shall you reap.....

(By: Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj)

 

 

There was a king whose prime minister was a great devotee. He always used to provide solace for others and pacify persons who came to him for help with their worldly troubles.  He used to say, “You should not be disturbed or disheartened. You do not know what you did in your past life. You do not know what you will do in the future. So by seeing this present loss you should not be disturbed. There should have been a greater loss but by the Grace of Sri Krishna it has been reduced. It is all for the best! It is all for the best! Don’t be disheartened”.

 

 

Once, the king went to hunt in the forest along with his prime minister and other soldiers. In ancient times kshatriyas used to go to jungles for hunting. While roaming in the jungle the soldiers became separated from the king and the prime minister. While the king and his prime minister were moving separately through the jungle the king saw a beast.  The king shot an arrow to kill the beast but by mistake the arrow went through his thumb. The finger was cut and there was profuse bleeding. Out of pain he was expressing his sorrow, “I am supposed to always fight. My thumb, which is vital for archery, is cut. It is a great loss.” The prime minister tried to pacify him, saying “You do not know what you did in your past life and you do not know what you will do in the future. There should have been a greater loss but by the Grace of Sri Krishna it is reduced. So you should not worry.”

 

 

But the king was enraged and said “My finger is cut and it is bleeding profusely. It is a serious loss to me but you are saying whatever is done by the Supreme Lord is good for me. You can advise me but if suffering comes to you and I advise you in the same way, what will you think?” The Prime minister replied, “It is applicable to all. Krishna takes care of everybody. A greater loss has been saved.”The king was furious and  thought “I will teach you.” He continued walking with the prime minister through the jungle when he saw a well in the distance, covered with bushes and grass. Taking his prime minister the king went near the well and all of a sudden he pushed the prime minister into it. The king said “Whatever is done by the Lord is for your good.” The prime minister said, “Yes without His will you cannot push someone into the well. It is His desire that you push me. Trust me! Trust me! Since He is all good it is for the best.”

 

 

The king challenged “Where is your God? I am here and you are there, where is your God? If I leave this place will He rescue you?”

 

 

The prime minister replied from the well “If Hari protects someone then nobody can kill him and if Hari wants to kill someone then nobody can protect him. They have no power.”

 

 

The king said “Oh! You haven’t given up your dog mentality. So, you can stay here and you can die here.” When a person becomes enraged their mind becomes disturbed and at this time the king’s mind was disturbed.

 

 

In that jungle there were many robbers. They used to worship goddess Kali to bring about the fulfilment of their robbery. They had just been successful in a robbery and  wanted to sacrifice a man to goddess Kali for her satisfaction. They brought a pujari and asked him to perform puja and they went out to find a man for offering. They soon found the king and they thought, “Goddess Kali is so gracious! She has sent man to us and we did not even have to go to the village or the town.”

 

 

The dacoits surrounded the king, arrested him and tied him up. Then they they took him to the pujari for sacrifice. According to the religious rules the king needed to be bathed before being sacrificed. So the king was first taken to a tank and bathed and then he was taken to the pujari.  Just as the pujari was about to sacrifice the king he saw that the king’s thumb was seriously injured and bleeding. If an injured person is sacrificed the result will be reversed. So, the pujari told the robbers “If this man is sacrificed the result will be bad because he is injured.”

 

 

The robbers exclaimed “Oh no! This spoils all our efforts and money. Release this person. Get out!”

 

 

When the King finally made his way back to his own capital he started to realise that what the prime minister had said was correct. “If my thumb had not been injured my life would have been  finished. So I have committed a great offense to my prime minister. Now I don’t know if he is alive or not! I did a terrible thing out of anger!” So he immediately ordered his army of soldiers to go and rescue the prime minister.

 

 

When they arrived near the well they found the prime minister sitting on the grass chanting Harinam. By the Lord’s Grace he had not suffered much.  When he was brought back to the kingdom the king bowed down, explained what had happened to him and said. “I have committed a great offense, please excuse me.”

 

 

“No! No! It's OK. You have acted according to God’s desire and because of that I have benefited. By pushing me in the well you actually saved my life. If I had been with you the dacoits would have sacrificed me instead. We did not know what we did in the past and what we will do in the future. So we cannot see the adjustment.”

 

 

Whatever is done, is done by the will of the Supreme Lord and it is for the good of all. ‘tat te ‘nukampam sushamiksa mano’ (Srimad Bhagavatam 10.14.8). If you can see His Grace in every circumstance then you can attain Him. If you are disturbed then you cannot. ‘tat te ‘nukampa sushamiksa mano’. If you can see things as they are then you will see God's Grace in every circumstance. 

 

 

We are reaping the fruits of our own actions, so we should not blame others for our misfortune. We are all reaping the fruits of our own actions. As you sow, so shall you reap.

 

 
Haribol.
