Navaratri

Twice a year, in spring and autumn, the festival for the universal Mother is celebrated at Sadashiva Dham. The universal Mother is the dynamic aspect of creation, that which gives form and sets everything in motion. The celebration lasts a total of 9 days. During these 9 days, the energy is experienced as particularly gentle and peaceful. Participating acts as a form of meditation. The effect is healing for ourselves and our surroundings.

It is possible to attend all 9 days, a few days, or just a morning. The daily program:
