Shravan Homas
11 Days of Sacred Vedic
Fire Ceremonies
Join us for a rare opportunity to participate in ancient Vedic fire rituals performed by
Acharya Virag Tripathi at the Shiva Ganesha Temple.
Experience the Power of
Vedic Rituals
From August 21 to August 31, we will hold a Shravan Homa each day - a sacred
ceremony invoking divine blessings and purification through Agni, the fire god.
A Unique Spiritual
Event
Homas connect us to primordial cosmic energies and awaken our deepest consciousness. The chanting of mantras, offerings to the fire, and rising smoke carry powerful vibrations - cleansing mind, body and spirit.
Visitors describe feeling uplifted and renewed by the ritual's solemn beauty. Even joining remotely via livestream immerses you in auspicious vibrations.
Vedic fire ceremonies descend from ancient rishis and remain alive through an unbroken lineage of Acharyas.
To have the opportunity for 11 days of Shravan Homas with Acharya Tripathi is extraordinarily
rare outside India. It culminates on the auspicious night of Shravan Purnima.
Don't miss this chance to receive blessings and amplify positive karma!

The Powerful Mrityunjaya Mantra
The Mrityunjaya Mantra honors Lord Shiva, often depicted with a third eye
representing inner wisdom. Shiva nourishes and sustains all life while also
liberating souls from the cycle of death and rebirth.
The mantra metaphorically references the cucumber being freed from its vine.
Our soul is like the cucumber - tightly bound to bodily existence.
The mantra calls upon Lord Shiva to sever this attachment so our soul
can achieve immortality through moksha (liberation).
On a practical level, chanting this mantra creates profound effects in both the short and long-term:
Short-Term Benefits
Alleviates stress, anxiety and depression.
Boosts mental focus and clarity.
Energizes and vitalizes the body.
Removes obstacles blocking success.
Long-Term Benefits
Cultivates inner strength, courage and resilience.
Develops wisdom and detachment from suffering.
Brings you closer to your true divine nature.
Loosens the soul's attachments to karma and rebirth.
The vibration of this mantra is deeply purifying and protective. Chanting it regularly helps us conquer fear and attachment - elevating our minds to a higher state of awareness.
While its effects are gradual, with consistent practice the Mrityunjaya Mantra will transform
how you perceive the world and your purpose within it. You will find stability and
fearlessness in facing life's difficulties.
By participating in the Shravan Homas, you immerse yourself in the power of this mantra.
This rare chance for liberation and self-realization should not be missed!
