LAXSMI PROSPERITY PUJA
Laxsmi Puja is an ancient ceremony to honor the aspect of the Divine associated with abundance in all its forms: health, wealth, wellbeing, and peace on earth for all. It’s a time to cultivate gratitude for the richness and beauty in our lives, as well as reflecting on and intentionally calling forth that which we’d like to manifest for ourselves and our loved ones.
We invite you to spend some time contemplating what you’d like to ask for, then either in advance or on the evening of, write those items on an index card to offer to Lakshmi, the goddess or essence of abundance. (Those attending on Zoom may email their requests to agnima@kashiatlanta.org as well as write them into the chat box.) In a world in such need, we lovingly ask everyone to include “world peace” in their requests. Please bring your index card to the puja, with the option to include a monetary donation or offering in gratitude for the many blessings that already surround you. Link to donate: We will see you at the feet of The Mother, the essence of nourishment and care for all. Swaha!
$20 suggested donation plus donation to Laxsmi; Option for Fire Puja Sponsorship available.

The deeper dimensions of yoga are designed to enliven a mystical sacred energy within us. This energy is shakti – awareness infused with love. In this immersive five-day experience, we will ignite kundalini shakti and empower the mystical energy of our own transformation. We will burn away suffering, heartbreak and limitation, so the soul can reveal itself. Through a series of shakti meditations and practices – along with a nightly Vedic fire ritual – we will access our deepest, hidden inner truths.
Here, we awaken the core feeling of aliveness, stirring the genuine, elemental vitality that actually is us. This kindles our innate connection to unconditional love, which can then resonate in us every moment. These practices infuse our lives with the wisdom-reality that love is the most powerful substance on earth. We are born to experience, embody and joyfully express this.
This traveling event includes the ancient fire ceremony of Durga Puja – the celebration of shakti, embodied. You will be invited to participate in the ceremonial preparations for the fire rituals.

Forgiveness can be a radical act of disruption. When we are hurt, we often grip our wounding tightly, thinking that we will heal it by holding it as our deepest experience. But what if there is something deeper still? How can forgiveness teach us the lesson the wounding was meant to bring? If learning and loving are our most powerful expressions of selfhood, what happens in the moment we release the wound?
When we forgive, we make love bigger than heartbreak, by moving love and forgiveness through the heartbreak itself. We create a field of alignment – allying ourselves with love and truth, the truth that we are lovable, even in heartbreak. We forgive – ourselves and others – and move love into the world, like the radiant love-vessels that we are.
Join us for an immersive experience into the revolutionary act of forgiveness. By letting go of old resentments and traumas, learn to kindly establish yourself upon the path of wholeness, the path of real yoga.

Often, we view the world with the cup half empty or the cup half full. When we see the cup as half empty, we are being consumed by the world – by our fear, unworthiness, negative thought or circumstance. When we view the world with the cup half full, we are able to consume whatever life presents us. We meet the moment with open hearted awareness and strive to love anyway, in all the wild experiences we encounter.
To enter into the ground of real awareness where emotional metabolism is strong, we must connect to reality on a soul level, where love opens us and teaches us to consume darkness, one situation at a time.
Join us for a one-day immersion into the daring art of consuming life whole. By establishing powerful emotional ability, learn to live the life of a yogi, living with reality in a continuous relationship with evolution and wholeness.
