Navaratri

Twice a year, in spring and fall, the festival for the universal Mother is celebrated at Sadashiva Dham. The universal Mother is the dynamic aspect of creation, giving form and setting everything in motion. The celebration lasts for a total of 9 days. During these 9 days, the energy is experienced as particularly gentle and peaceful. Participating works as a form of meditation. The effect is healing for ourselves and our environment.

You can come for all 9 days, a few days, or just one morning. The daily program:

6:30 AM: Paduka Puja in the Babaji Kutir (chalet), a ceremony to invite Mahavatar Babaji into everyone’s heart

7:30 AM: Aarti (light ceremony and chanting of mantras)
