About Navratri: The Grand Nine Nights
Whether you join us on the Kanakapura Road campus or participate from home, the essence of Navratri remains a collective reset. In-person attendees receive priority access to Homas and residential retreat amenities, while our remote Sankalpa service allows you to have your name and Gotra chanted during the ceremonies via live webcast.
Navratri is more than a festival at our International Centre; it is a profound time to shed mental clutter and realign with your inner self. During these nine days, we conduct ancient Vedic rituals like the Maha Rudra Homa and Shat Chandi Homa. These ceremonies create a powerful field of energy, with thousands of seekers chanting and meditating together.
We offer two primary ways to participate. For those who can travel to Bengaluru, our residential retreat packages include tuition, Sattvic vegetarian meals, and priority seating for all Homas and cultural events. You can choose between comfortable dormitories or twin-sharing rooms within the ashram campus.
For those unable to visit, our Online Sankalpa service brings the experience to you. We chant your name and Gotra during the ceremonies, and you receive a link to watch the Homas live, ensuring your participation in the sacred prayers regardless of your location. Whether you seek the electric atmosphere of the ashram or the convenience of home participation, our doors—and the wisdom behind these rituals—remain open.
