Full Moon Vedic Fire Ceremony
March 4, 2015 @ 8:00 pm
International Kirtan Artist and Spiritual teacher Maitreya is visiting Hawaii for a short time and will be preforming this fire ceremony. Maitreya has received intensive mantra training in 2014 and 2015 by senior priests in Sri Shakti Amma’s ashram, South India, along with blessings and guidance to perform Ancient Vedic Yagams (Fire Ceremonies) that bring balance and peace to the environment.
Full moon fire puja, know as yagam or havan, is an ancient Vedic fire ceremony performed around the world on full moon. It involves chanting mantras and making offerings into the fire to bring peace and joy to the world. Puja, amongst other things, is a beautiful opportunity to meditate, set a new resolution, offer a prayer for the world, a loved one, our own healing and to experience our innate divinity.
We hold the puja on the eve before the full of the moon as this is the time when the energy from the moon is magnified, allowing greater transformation for all. Specifically, the chants we do in this puja invoke Narayani (Divine Mother) to bring the three aspects and blessings of Godesses Saraswathi, Lakshmi, and Durga which are the embodiments of Wisdom, Abundance and Strength respectively.
The puja takes about 45-60 minutes and everyone will have an opportunity to participate, by making an offering into the fire if they wish. Ghee is the main offering into the fire as it is believed to nourish the angelic realms.
Sri Sakthi Amma Wisdom
” Some people like prayer, some like offerings – ‘pujas’, some like ‘bhajans’ – hymns, some prefer yoga, others meditation, to name a few of the many spiritual paths. All paths are right. Choose whatever path your heart desires and follow it.”
