Navratri Celebrations 2014 at TOK Noida

[Fabr ethos]

Dear One,

Jai Gurudev!

After the blissful experience of Shiv Shakti in Shravan Rudra Pujas for a month,now It is the time of the year again when we soak in divine presence and experience Devi Shakti with the Navratri Pujas.

With Gurudev's blessings, we are celebrating Navratri, 2014 at Temple of Knowledge,B-182/A, Sector 48, Noida on 29th, 30th Sept and 1st Oct; 2014.

The wordNavaratriliterally means nine nights in Sanskrit;Navameaning Nine andRatrimeaning night. During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms ofShakti/Devii.e. female divinity areworshiped. She is a form of energy, a manifestation of the Divine itself.

In brief, the nine nights are dedicated to the three main goddesses of Vaidic tradition -Parvati, LakshmiandSarasvati.

The nine days of Navaratri are an opportunity to rejoice in the three primordial qualities that make up the universe. Though our life isgoverned by the threegunas, we seldom recognize and reflect on them. The first three days of Navaratri are attributed totamo guna, the second threeto rajo, guna and the last three to sattva guna. Our consciousness sails through the tamo and rajo gunas and blossoms in the satva guna of the last three days. Whenever sattva dominates in life, victory follows. The essence of this knowledge is honored by celebrating the tenth day as Vijaydashmi.

With great love and gratitude, we invite you for all the Homas and request you to avail the opportunity of being the Yajaman.

Please find attached the complete schedule of Pujas & Homas. For being Yajaman and taking Sankalpas, you may contact your Area Coordinator/Puja Coordinator. In case you find any difficulty in reaching them, please contact 9650996011/12/13/14.
