Prana Prathistha and Varshabhishekam
In preparation for Sahasra Chandi Maha Yagna in July 2015, we performed Prana Prathistha for 500 Navakshari Yantrams at our Ashram in Chennai. The Navakshari Yantram has utmost divinity and spiritual power, and now to multiply that by 500! We are all truly blessed to be in the midst of such divinity.
This auspicious event was conducted along with the annual Varshabhishekam for Maha Shodashi. We are happy to share a few photos from this function - all photo credits to Sri K.S. Lakshmanan.

Rajarajeshwari Temple in Hanuman Ghat, Kashi
Sri K.S. Lakshmanan, a senior member of our Ashram, shared these photos from his trip to Kashi. He visited a temple in Hanuman Ghat that houses the deity Rajarajeshwari. This deity was installed by our Parapara Guru Sri Ramananda Nathendra Saraswathi. The temple has a garden that has Vilva, Nandeervriksha and Parijatha trees. What a blessing to be able to see photos of the temple where our Parapara Guru did prana prathistha and Sri Chakra pooja!
Many thanks to Sri K.S. Lakshmanan for allowing us to share these photos with the Bhaskara Prakasha Ashram community!
