Sri Guru Aradhana & Sri Sarada Navaratri Mahotsava - September 2025

॥ श्री गुरुभ्यो नमः । श्री मात्रे नमः ॥

With the ever-flowing grace of our Guru Mandala, we are filled with joy to reflect on the recent divine events and to extend a heartfelt invitation to the upcoming auspicious celebrations Sri Guru Aradhana and Sarada Navaratri Mahotsavam at Bhaskara Prakasha Ashram.

This has been a truly blessed year, marked by two monumental events. Following the spiritually charged Sahasrachandi, Maharudram, and Trishati Suvasini Puja in New Jersey, we have now successfully concluded the Sahasra Chandi Mahayagnam at the Sri Aathi Parashakti Temple in Canada.

Notably, this was the first time the Sahasra Chandi Mahayagnam was performed at a South Indian temple in Canada. The event commemorated the temple's 25th Anniversary and was held to pray for world peace and prosperity. We offer our humble pranams to Sri Chandramouli Sastrigal of Adi Parashakti temple, Toronto, for giving our Ashram devotees an opportunity to do the Seva for the welfare of the entire community. We were deeply moved by the boundless affection and outpouring of love he showered upon each one of us.

A sacred series of Chandi Homams was performed to fulfill the divine goal of 100,000 Navakshari Homam offerings and 100 Chandi Homams. Over the course of six auspicious days, accompanied by various pujas and homas, the atmosphere was charged with divine vibrations and the heartfelt devotion of all the participants. We offer our deepest gratitude to all our disciples who traveled from across the United States and dedicated their time and energy to accomplish the sankalpam of 1,000 Devi Mahatmyam parayanams and 1,000,000 Navakshari japams. 

Our heartfelt appreciation goes to the Toronto volunteers who worked diligently day and night for several months to make this event a grand celebration. Please click this link to view the photos from this event.

As we carry the divine energy from these events, we look forward to the most sacred time of the year at the Ashram. We are immensely blessed to announce the Aradhana Mahotsavam of our beloved Guru, 

Sri Sri Sri Vimarshanandanathendra Saraswati Mahaswamigal, and the Sri Sarada Navaratri Mahotsavam.
