The Karthika day of the Malayalam month of Kanni is Amma's star birthday. To mark it, Br. Ramanandamrita Chaitanya will perform a special Sarva Aishwarya Puja, praying for the well-being and prosperity of all — sarva means "everyone and all," and aishwarya means "prosperity and auspiciousness."
The puja invokes Goddess Lakshmi, the presiding deity of wealth and well-being, in the traditional tantric style followed in Kerala, with elaborate arrangements of lamps over a traditional design of powders and flowers. It is accompanied by Vedic hymns, chants and bhajans by the DC satsang members.
Wednesday, September 30, 7:30–9:00 p.m. · in person at MA Center Washington DC, 9109 Harrington Drive, Potomac, MD, and online on the MA Center DC YouTube channel.
Sankalpa registration (optional). If you would like Br. Ramanandamrita Chaitanya to take a sankalpa (spiritual resolve) on your behalf or for your loved ones during the puja, you may register for the puja ($100). Registration is not required to attend, and if you are out of town you can register and watch online. All proceeds support the Embracing the World charities inspired by Amma.
