This mantra for peace is recited in the context of study, to protect both the student and teacher from all the unknown variables we have no knowledge or control over. I hope this session will help you understand the significance of prayer in the Vedic context.

A stunning mantra for peace, humbly asking 8 cosmic forces including the morning, midday and evening Sun to protect the reciter. I hope this session will give you a little insight into what a cosmic force means in the Vedas and how we can collaborate with these forces for a more peaceful life!

An  evening mantra meditation to tune into and understand the energy and invocation of the beloved elephant headed Gaṇeśa. We will access the uplifting energy of Gaṇeśa through the recitation of Ganeśa gāyatrī mantra 108 times after learning the pronunciation.

A beautiful blessing to share with our loved ones. In the Taittirīya Saṃhita (Yajur Veda), this mantra is presented in a hymn invoking all the cosmic forces - Agni, Soma, Varuṇa, Sarasvatī, Viṣṇu and so on, for blessings of health, longevity, prāṇa (life-force), ojas (spiritual energy), clarity and immortality (realisation). We offer blessings to our loved ones to be able to experience a 100 seasons with all of these strengths.

100% of donations received for this event will go to Villa Indigo, a home for seriously/terminally ill children, who are welcomed here for short stays to help both the child as well as the family.

Join us for an auspicious start to 2020 by tuning into and understanding the energy of the beloved elephant headed Gaṇeśa.

It is said that chanting Oṃ namaḥ śivāya is as good as chanting the whole Veda! Śiva means maṅgala, happy end, the grand finale. Salutation to Lord Śiva who gives absolute happiness.

An evening of honouring Srī or Lakṣmī the Goddess of Beauty, Harmony, Abundance and all things Auspicious not only at a material level, but also in our actions and thoughts and our interactions with others, both in words and behaviour.

Oṃ May we hear only the auspicious with our ears.
May we see only the auspicious with our eyes.
Praising the divine with firm (healthy) bodies,
May we enjoy our divine life-span.

"We visualise the Goddess Earth who upholds all life as the Goddess holding a bow in her hands.
