Nau Graha Puja – August 7th, 2010

Nau Graha is the worship of the nine forms of celestial energies. The great Indian yogi Paramahamsa Yogananda said, "Man is born on that day and that moment when his individual fate is in perfect mathematical harmony with the progress of the stars in heaven".

Since we are born under some form of energy, we worship the grahas to preserve all good energies and remove the bad.

Purnima – September 22nd, 2010

On Purnima, "Satyanarayan Vrat Katha" is performed. Among the kathas that are prevalent, ‘Shri Satyanarayan Vrat Katha’ is the most popular. Satyanarayana vrat is the easiest and most inexpensive way of self-purification and self-surrender at the lotus feet of Hari.

One who observes Purnima with full devotion and faith is sure to attain his heart’s desire. Our shastras state that during the ‘Kalyug,’ the fruit that one gets by hearing the ‘Satyanarayan Katha’ is enormous. The katha is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his manifestation as Lord Satyanarayan. ‘Satya’ means truth, ‘Nar’ means a man and ‘Ayan’ means a place. Thus the place where truth resides in man is called Satyanarayan. The ‘Satyanarayan katha’ and the ‘vrat’ help us overcome vices like lust, anger, greed, attachments and ego
