| Ritual Events
Jñanagni Kula offers a variety of ways to experience
the power of ritual. Daily,
monthly, and
seasonal events are open to the public.
The practice of ritual in a community setting allows
participants to experience a wider view.
At Yoga Mandala, pujas (devotional offerings) and yajna/homa
(fire rituals) are done, along with larger more specific
ceremonies performed on special occasions - such
as Ancestor pujas, weddings, house blessings, etc. See
our schedule of homas and pujas
here.
Reminding ourselves of our Essential Nature via the
vehicle of deity, guru, mahasiddha, or even cycles of
time, widens our perspective beyond that of our individual
experience.
In addition, the vocalization of classical mantras
and chants and the performance of age-old ritualistic
actions, all within a larger community of people with
similar intent, helps to focus the grace of past enlightened
masters and the Absolute, creating a stream of consciousness
that can be accessed by all.
For an in-depth study of the nature and performance
of ritual, please see our 5 Level Pujari
Training Course offered once a year.
