Maha Saptami Sri Saraswati Devi Homam with White Lotuses (Oct 9)

The auspicious day Maha Saptami is the best time of Navaratri for attracting the Grace of Sri Saraswati Devi. Sponsoring this puja to the Goddess of Wisdom is recommended especially for students to improve their academics, develop righteous character and blossom spiritually.
Special Instructions for Sponsorship Orders

Before each homam or puja is performed in Amma’s Lalita Temple, a “sankalpa” is recited in Sanskrit, a divinely powerful language. Sankalpa is a special process involving Vedic incantations that energetically connect you and your family directly to any ritual. Amma assures us that when we are included in a sankalpa, we become spiritually connected to the power of the divine ceremony and receive its full benefits immediately, just as if we were physically present.

In the section before below, please enter the name of the primary person for whom the festival is being sponsored. This name will be recited during the sankalpa. Please list up to five additional names and nakshatras only. It is not necessary to list all family members’ names, as they will automatically receive blessings through the primary sponsor. If you know the primary sponsor’s nakshatra (Vedic birthstar), you may enter it below. If you don’t know the gotra or nakshatra, it’s fine to leave this blank.

ONLY If the prasadam shipping address is different from the billing address, please complete the field below. Please be aware that it may take several weeks to receive your prasadam, since it is being mailed from India.

* This sponsorship must be received by 6:00 am Eastern Daylight Time on October 8.
