Navaratri Theme

Each year Aiya selects a theme for the celebrations, and this year the theme is Goddess Visalakshi Devi.

She is revered as the compassionate Divine Mother with “wide, all-seeing eyes,” symbolizing her boundless awareness and grace. She is worshipped in Kashi as a powerful form of Shakti, Kashi is traditionally regarded as a sacred city of liberation, and Visalakshi is worshipped alongside Vishwanath.

Her message is beautifully simple: Expand your vision, open your awareness, and see the Divine everywhere.

Daily morning pooja, homam and abhishekam:

As part of the Navaratri Brahmotsavam, we will be performing Kalasa Puja daily, followed by Homam and an opportunity for all devotees to offer milk abhishekam with a kalasam, followed by special Alankaram to the Devi, Mangala Arati and distribution of Maha Prasadam.

Come, participate, and receive the divine blessings of the Goddess.

Sponsorships and Blessed Prasadam

Flyers

Flyer information will be shared soon

For some sponsorships, we will include your name in the sankalpam chanted before the event. The sankalpam is a Sanskrit statement recited before any major puja or homa. When your name is recited in the sankalpam, it creates a subtle energetic bond between you and the puja or homa, bringing divine blessings to you and your family.

All sponsors receive blessed and energized prasadam from the event. Blessed prasadam usually includes small packets of kumkum and/or vibhuti as well as special items like a blessed thread, yajna raksha, or other blessed items. Please read the sponsorship descriptions carefully to understand whether sankalpam is included and what kind of prasadam will be given. If you are not able to attend the festival physically, the prasadam will be mailed to you.
