10 DAYS NAVARATRI Silence Program ONLINE 

Navratri, translated means Nine-Nights and is a celebration of nine forms of the Goddess Durga (the energy behind the creation, preservation, and destruction).

It is the time for a spiritual holiday. Giving your mind, body and soul a well deserved, needed rest – a period of retrospection, rejuvenation and rebirth, to bring everything in balance.

“Navratri is a journey from the outer world of names and forms to the subtle world of energies; to the innermost core of our being – the Self.” ~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Why should you meditate during Navratri

• Align your mind and body with nature: immediately after the night of ‘no moon’, we start the countdown from phase one of the moon until phase nine, to culminate with the tenth day grandeur. The new moon day marks the threshold of the Dhussehra festival.

• Renew your commitment towards yourself: Navratri is a time to begin things afresh.

• Group consciousness: when you meditate when others are meditating it has the power to elevate you faster.

• The time is right: when you meditate during Navratri the benefits and energy linger on throughout the year and meditation is effortless.

JOIN PUJAS / HOMAS ONLINE IN YOUR HOME

Navratri pujas and homas are a perfect opportunity to turn your desires into intentions. The pujas and homas make the mind rested and alert. From a peaceful mind, only powerful intentions arise. There is also an ancient process that taps the immense energy created during homas and pujas to make our sankalpa more powerful. 

“There are three levels of existence – the outer world, the subtle world of different energies and Divinity or God. All the yagnas being performed aim to achieve, both, spiritual and material benefits. When you go deep inside yourself, from where everything has come from, you experience supreme peace. Only when you are in deep meditation these mantras have an effect. These are very powerful and beautiful and enrich the subtle creation. We are so fortunate to be able to be a part of this.” ~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
