Saraswati Avahan

I didn’t mention this in the below post on Katyayani Ma, but on the sixth night of Navratri also begins the worship of Saraswati, also known as Vagdevi (Vak + Devi), Goddess of Speech, with Her invocation, and the following day will be Her main puja.

Deconstructing Yoga – India Retreat with Baba Rampuri

Our December retreat, “Deconstructing Yoga: Liberating Consciousness,” will take place at my dhuni in Goa from December 18-24. Twice daily, we will perform arati and puja in our small Temple next to the dhuni, with explanation and instruction for participants to do this later in their own homes. On Dattatreya Jayanti, Dec 24, we will have a Homa performed by Brahmin purohits, invoking Guru Dattatreya. I will teach the “protocols of knowledge” as a basis for tradition and sadhana.
