Bhagavati Seva Puja by Swamini

Apr 18, 2026 5:00pm-6:00pm

To register for a sankalpa (special intention) click here.

The Bhagavati Seva Puja is an ancient Vedic ceremony from Amma's state of Kerala. It honors the female aspect of the supreme consciousness and is conducted to restore peace, bring balance to the environment and overcome negativity. The worship helps to foster personal well-being, prosperity, mental calm, and remove obstacles in personal and professional life.

The puja features the auspicious chanting of devotional songs, the Lalitha Trishati, Durga Suktam and Mahisasura Mardini stotram, ending with prayers for peace for all beings.

The puja will be performed by Swamini Ambikamrita Prana.

All are welcome to attend. To register for a sankalpa (special intention) click here. The cost is $100 USD and registration cut-off is Saturday, April 18th at 3pm CT.

The puja will take place in the MA Center Chicago satsang hall. You do not need to be present to receive the benefits of the puja. Proceeds received for pujas support Amma’s charitable activities.

After the puja, we'll have a Vishu satsang with bhajans, meditation, and arati. Learn more about the Vishu program here.
