Hundreds of devotees soaked in the powerful and sacred vibrations of Chandi Homa, honouring the myriad forms of Mother Divine in all her glory, organized at the Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ashram here in the city between March 25 and 26, 2026.
Organised by the Vedic Dharma Sansthan, the two-day festival brought together devotees from all over the state who participated in traditional homa, invoking the divine feminine energy through Vedic chants, meditation, and prayer. The ceremonies were conducted by four Vedic priests, three of whom were trained at the Vedic Gurukul in Ved Vignan Maha Vidya Peeth, Bengaluru, and had travelled specially to Jaipur for the occasion, along with a local priest.
The celebrations were marked by soulful satsang and the distribution of prasadam, creating an atmosphere of joy, devotion, and collective spiritual elevation.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the global spiritual master and humanitarian leader, shares about the significance of this Navratri, “Chaitra signifies the dawn of a New Year- a time for inner reflection, prayer, meditation, and chanting. It is a moment to recognise the Divinity that pervades all of creation and to awaken that sacred presence within and around us.”
At The Art of Living International Center, Bengaluru, the sacred period of Chaitra Navratri was observed with a series of powerful homas including Maha Ganapati Homa, Navagraha Homa, and Maha Lakshmi Homa on March 25, followed by the Nav Chandi Homa on March 26. These rituals further elevated the spiritual fervour, invoking peace, prosperity, and divine grace for all.
Ram Tarak Homas were also conducted at multiple locations, amplifying prayers for peace, prosperity, and well-being, on the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami.
The celebrations left every attendee contented, joyous, and steeped in devotion.
