We invite you with family and friends to celebrate nine nights of Navarathri and the tenth day Vijaya Dasami from Wednesday, September 20 to Friday, September 29, at our house every day evening from 5:15 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. (weekends we start earlier at 5:00 p.m., see details below).
We try to be punctual, as to help everyone to keep up their time schedules to go to temple celebrations. Every day we will make a simple prasad so you don’t need to bring anything, except your devotional presence.
Group recitation of Lalitha Sahasranama and all slokas on all ten days is very auspicious on Navarathri days to generate luck or prosperity Energy. We also have discussions about luck energy and how to boost them and also the factors that reduces our luck energy in life throughout the event.
