Mother Divine oversees wealth and prosperity. When She is present, like now, is one of the best times of the year to start new ventures. You can see Pandit Dixit’s yagya recommendations for this time of year on our website.
Traditionally, these yagyas are done for those who wish to improve their wealth, prosperity, health and overall attunement with the laws of Nature.
Since I am in India right now, Pandit Dixit has agreed to accept reservations for the Nine Days of Mother Divine yagyas until March 18th (March 18th at noon, India time, is March 18th at 2:30 am, eastern US time). The atmosphere is so auspicious right now that the Pandits can chant extra for you and ‘catch up’ the yagya. Please order your yagyas now.
Everything here is Blessed.
I came into the office as usual this morning. The Pandit who comes by and does the daily puja let me in. He was just over at the house I am staying at. What a delight to get to hear two pujas, in one morning, in person.
Let me back up a little. Devesh Dixit, Pandit Dixit’s son, generously allows me to stay in their upstairs guest bedroom when I’m here (The guest house at the Ashram is almost finished). Next door to this bedroom is an Altar Room. Daily puja (ceremonial Vedic prayers) is performed there. As I was finishing my morning meditation program, I heard someone come in next door. There were some rustling, wiping, dusting sounds as the Pandit cleaned up and arranged the altar, then chanting! I got to enjoy the puja in my very relaxed state of mind. What a marvelous way to start the day.
Back to the office where I’d just enjoyed my second puja of the day:
When the Pandit finished his puja, he came over to me with something in his hand. I held out mine to receive the offering. It was a juicy golden raisin that tasted of incense! It had been in the bag with the flowers and prasadam with which he adorned the office altar.
A minute later, Bauuva, the office helper, came in with a bag of fresh rose flowers. He decorated the office altar also. Then he came over to me. He handed me a ruby red rose. It’s aroma was overwhelmingly sweet! It smelled just like the roses my Grandmother grew in Kansas. Sweet, warm, rich.
Funny how the rose reminded me of one of the manifestations of Mother Divine that I’d met when I was very young. I’ve been lucky. She has been with me all the way in this lifetime. Little did I know that I would be connecting her as a living example of a Divine energy. This is one of the side effects of being involved with the Nine Days of Mother Divine celebrations. We get constantly reminded of the reality of a Divine Mother that helps us along this life path.
I know that you would like to join us in this contact with the Divine. Please visit the yagya ordering page now to order your yagya.
