Shardiya Navratri

Monday, Sept 22 - Thursday, Oct. 2

Navratri

The nine days and nights of Shardiya Navratri, the Autumnal Navratri represent the most significant time for physical, mental, and spiritual purification, rejuvenation and transformation. Cosmic energy is personified and invoked as Devī or Durgā, Mother of the Universe, who fiercely vanquished in Her battle with the demons, Mahishasura, the rakshasa, the Deamon representing the forces of evil, darkness and ignorance both within and without.

Navratri begins this year on September 22nd and concludes with the 10th day - October 2nd, Vijaya Dashami - The day of Victory. It is celebrated with the burning of the effigies of the demon king Ravana, symbolizing the victory of Good over Evil, and with submerging the statues of Goddess Durga.

Other celebrations include performances of the Ramlila, processions, and the ritual of Vidyarambha (Aksharabhyasam), marking the auspicious beginnings in initiating the education of very young children by invoking the blessings of Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of Wisdom, Arts, Knowledge, learning, and intellect. Ceremoniously parents, guide the child to write their first letters. The most significant and auspicious aspect of this ritual is the importance placed on education and knowledge as a significant step in a child's growth and academic journey. This ritual is primarily done for children between ages 2 to 4, well before their entry into pre-kindergarten. And if the family is Blessed with a Spiritual Guru, they always invite His /Her Divine presence, or the presence of their close disciples which is considered most auspicious in Initiating this sacred ceremony for their toddler. This ceremony ensures a successful, prosperous and creative academic life filled with Spiritual awakening and divine pursuits.

On this most significant occasion, we worship and invoke Goddess Chamundaye by chanting daily 1008 times Her name.

For those less versed, note the significance and attributed to Her as below.

As well, a sample track we have created that consists of 27 invocations

“Om Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaye Vichche Namaha"

https://soundcloud.com/yogavani-mission/devi_bija_mantras

To be followed up Daily with the complete 1008 as posted below

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6if9jCkRT4

Chamunda in Sanscrit means the killer of the wicked, the evil, the devil. It refers to the fierce form of Goddess Durga. This Navarna mantra is chanted for protection from negativity and to invoke the blessings from the Divine mother for inner strength, prosperity, inner peace and success in all we pursue.

Significance and precise representation of this mantra

Om - Universal sound

Aim -Maha Saraswati

Hrim - Maha Lakshmi

Klim - Maha Kali

Vicche means a shield or protection we receive by chanting this mantra with full faith, devotion and surrender to Her.

"Om Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaye Vichche Namaha"

Om Shantih, Shantih, Shantih

With Blessings and Love.

Jai Ma-Jai Gurudev!

Buddha Purnima

Monday, May 12th

Buddha Purnima commemorates the birth of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became the Buddha.

This day, celebrated on the full moon of May, is an auspicious time to reflect on the Buddha's teachings of peace, compassion, and enlightenment.

Prince Siddhartha was born to royal parents and raised in luxury. Upon learning of the toil and suffering of the common man, He denounced the riches and comforts of living as a prince and became a wandering ascetic, eventually becoming "the Buddha", otherwise known as "the Awakened One".

Lord Buddha achieved the highest level of nirvana, as well as an understanding of suffering and how to embrace and release it, ultimately imbibing and teaching what would become the core beliefs of Buddhism.

Jayanthi Premiere on the 97th Birth Anniversary of Swami Yogiraj Nanak

kindly click below to receive your notification

https://youtu.be/O6PCRWaXuJw?si=x3aumo1Q2iKUzfMm

Dear friends and fellow seekers,

On this Ganesh Visarjan day of Sept 17th, it is an opportune time to share the symbolism of this 10th Day of Ganesh Chaturthi and its profound and deep spiritual significance. This auspicious occasion is preceded by days of worship of Ganesha who essentially is formless, invoked in an image, a clay shape, a picture, etc, and ultimately is immersed back to its source, marking the end of Ganesh Festival and worship, symbolizing the impermanence of life. The immersion of the Idol signifies Lord Ganesha’s return to His abode, reminding devotees of the continuous cycle of life and death and that we have a chance in this very lifetime to unite with the Lord in the form of Guru, God, and any way we choose to worship.

Ganesh is known as the Lord of New beginnings, the Remover of obstacles, and is expressed in our devotion and efforts coming from our Divine nature and intelligence.

There are two other such significant occasions coming up, one is Navaratri, the celebration of the Goddess in the nine days and nights and is considered a most important time for physical, mental, and spiritual purification and transformation. Cosmic energy is personified and invoked as Devī or Durgā, Mother of the universe, vanquishing in battle all the demons or forces of darkness and ignorance. Navaratri commences on Thursday, Oct 3rd and concludes on Oct 12th the with Day of Victory, Vijay Dashimi. Our Gurudev Swamiji Yogiraj gave us specific sadhana, meditations, and ways to invoke this Divine energy within Us All.

His Jayanthi (birth anniversary) arrives in midst of this auspicious time, on October 8th. We have prepared a special Preview for this occasion with Swamiji conducting a Satsang while in USA. We will be sharing and posting it shortly towards the end of this month.

Swamiji Yogiraj ji’s Light, Love, creativity, and His generosity is with us if we truly have been practicing devotedly and taking time to connect with these practices on a daily basis. Though many of us have been with Him physically on so many occasions in the past, whether His shakti has been transmitted, meaning recognized and received within us, whether it has been kindled as result, it is only reflected in the way we surrender and live our life and way we utilize our daily time.

Regardless, we continue to be blessed and now have the blessed opportunity to come in direct contact with an embodied saint of this day, a Shrotriya Brahmaniishta, Swamiji Anubhavananadaji Maharaj. He continues to conduct Satsangs and hold sadhana camps throughout the world. One such divine opportunity is coming up in the Himalayas in Rishikesh in Dec. 2024. We often post His satsangs on our Yogavani Mission Facebook page so you can easily familiarize yourself with Him, His eternal teachings, and way of presentation.

There are still few spots available for enrollment for sincere seekers so please note the details below:

Happy New Year with Blessings for a year of Sadhana, inquiry, reflection, contemplation, and deep meditation. Allow all to flow, materialize, manifest from thereof by the Grace of the Lord, God and Guru.

Be Happy and spread Happiness in 2024.

29 pointers On Life and Living by

Swami Anubhavananda for daily reflection and for our personal integration in life

1. Life is a waking dream.

2. Lead your life in an inspired mode.

3. Don’t make a prestige issue about anything in your life.

4. In our life, we are either seeking happiness or expressing happiness. Stop seeking happiness. When we express happiness through our thoughts, words and deeds, we are directly connecting

with the infinite divine.

5. Every problem in our life is an opportunity to reflect and reach for the truth.

6. We are squarely responsible for whatever is happening in our life.

7. Accept life cheerfully and gracefully.

8. Life is only fulfilled when we know our

true nature.

9. Change your understanding of life. Everything is in me.

10. Life flowing through us without turmoil - This is fulfillment.

11. Don’t get lost in the non-essentials of life. You will suffer!

12. Be an illuminator and not be affected.

13. When learning from every experience becomes our criteria for living, a seeker is born.

14. By proper learning and observation of our life, we can limit our activities to what we can reasonably do without becoming burdened.

15. If you are happy Now, you can never be miserable in life. You don’t live yesterday or tomorrow.

16. When you are happy with silly things, then you are in the present.

17. If you postpone being happy, even God cannot make you happy.

18. Don’t try to make anyone happy in this world. Even God hasn’t succeeded.

19. Be a generic product. Not specific. Fit everywhere.

20. How you look at the world is your choice.

21. We live our convictions.

22. Instead of living as the body, we must live through the body.

23. Learn to the live in the utter present. No notions. No conditions.

24. Learn to live independently.

25. All activities will continue in our lives. No activity is contradictory to abiding in the Self.

26. Learn to say No and accept a No.

27. We suffer maximum because of our unnecessary flow of thoughts. Relax.

28. Technique to break this chain of thoughts is to take deep breaths with the name of the Lord. Hari – breathe in. Om – breathe out.

29. Remain in the Now. Don’t bring even a moment of the past into the present or project even a moment into the future.

All above are invaluable tips towards living a fully integrated life culminating in a life of sadhana 24/7

DEAR FRIENDS, SEEKERS

We have been gifted the Art and Science of Yoga Sadhana by our beloved Gurudev Swami Yogiraj Nanak Ji Maharaj.

His 96th Jayanthi, His Birthday, is on October 8^th.

Swamiji clearly delineated the teachings echoed in all the sacred Scriptures of Sanatana Dharma: the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Geeta and numerous other texts, making it easy for us to grasp their essence if we are true seekers and sincerely committed to living in the Truth.

Swamiji Always reminded us to dwell within our Sacred heart, the abode of the Self, and Not to be hypnotized, dwelling in the emotional heart which is filled with impurities, attachments and illusions.

Everlasting Joy comes from the ‘No-thing';

Hence we must Always be on the look-out, stay Alert, examine what it is that gives us that itch for a temporary pleasure, a

happiness derived from sense pleasures and indulgences, and recommit, stay ever inspired to change and transform ourselves, To seek the True happiness bubbling within the ever Blissful Self.

Joy can Never be taken from us and is Eternal. Be reminded that No-one and No-thing can give us Joy.

It resides within...

This No-thingness is the Truth

Happiness is manufactured,

Joy is God, the Guru, The Eternal Self.

Friends, time is fleeting... Stay awake and Alert and let us make proper use of this human birth which is very rare and precious. Always introspect this fact and do Not compromise!

We will hold a special Satsang online to celebrate Swamiji’s birthday to stay inspired and committed to His teachings and be worthy to experience His abundant grace 24/7.

Please contact us for a Zoom link wherever

in world you may be.
