In Jan of 2005, Shree Maa and Swamiji lit the sacred fire at the Mandir

- signifying the start of a 3 year Chandi yajna, probably the only one

of its kind in the Western Hemisphere if not in the world. The sacred

fire burns 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week.

 

How did we start the fire? In the traditional vedic way - with the use

of two pieces of wood and a rope. A few of us were lucky to be there to

watch the the fire and the start of the yajna. Now you can watch it too.

Dear Nanda ~ thank you so much for letting us know about this. Alas, my

laptop I believe has too much in its poor head, and the video wouldn't load. But

even just seeing the picture of the fire pit with the fire burning in it was a

prasad for my aching body. I will try again tomorrow on my hubby's computer.

His isn't quite a clogged up with stuff as mine is. How wonderful to be

there at this sacred moment. None of us will ever forget it. Jai Maa , Jai
