The Vedic Calendar Yagyas Program

Schedule of Yagya Performances

Our Vedic Calendar yagya schedule is updated frequently as timings of individual yagya performances arrive from India. These timings will be reflected in the table below.

We have decided to start each Vedic Calendar yagya on the auspicious Vedic Calendar day at 5.30pmpm Indian Standard Time. This means you just need to convert to your local time and will know that the yagya will normally be performed at the same time wherever you are. (Note: this rule of thumb does not take into account any daylight savings time differences.)

** TIMINGS: please note that all timings are in Indian Standard Time (IST).

Here is a handy time-zone convertor to convert IST into your local timezone.

All yagyas are streamed in our private Facebook group.

The above calendar displays times in Indian Standard Time. You can click the + sign above to add this Google Calendar to your calendar or download the .ics file here (right-click or ctrl-click to download the .ics file) to import it into your calendar. Please note this is provided as-is and as a courtesy and is, we regret, otherwise unsupported due to the amount of calendars/systems and questions that could arise.

Our pandits are very disciplined about starting on time, within a minute or two of the scheduled start time. Occasionally the technology infrastructure in India gets overwhelmed by intense weather conditions or regional brownouts. Sometimes the web or Facebook can temporarily go down or the backup generator fails.

If this happens the live stream may be briefly delayed, but the yagya performance is not. The yagya will start on time even if the wifi, FB or web is temporarily down. The ashram employs state of the art wifi and web technology, but occasionally technology fails.

If this happens, wait a minute and refresh the page. Either way, the yagya is being performed and every yagya is recorded and saved on the Facebook page so you can always watch it later.

Each year, certain Vedic Calendar days reflect a special quality of natural law expressed by Vedic Devatas, universal laws of nature, on that specific day.

The Vedic Devata are the intelligent, organizing, evolutionary forces present in all of nature, at every level of creation, micro to macro. These special days are when specific Vedic Devatas are more awake, livelier and closer to the surface of life, and more able to support our specific desires on those days.

The Vedic Calendar is based on the daily movements of the sun and moon through various signs called Rashis and Nakshatras.

Yagya performances on Vedic Calendar days enliven the qualities associated with the Vedic Devata on that specific day.  Traditionally, Vedic pandits perform these special yagyas with specific purposes (sankalpas) on these days to enliven the inherent qualities of the Vedic Devata lively on that day, benefiting the individual yagyas participant and the environment.

These Vedic Calendar yagyas are intended as an addition to the existing small group, large group, and private yagyas that we offer: Vedic Calendar yagyas are not designed to replace any of those yagyas.

Om saha nāv avatu
saha nau bhunaktu
saha vīryaṃ karav-āvahai
tejasvi nāv adhītam astu
mā vidviṣh-āvahai
Om śhāntiḥ śhāntiḥ śhāntiḥ

Om! Let us be together.
Let us eat together.
Let us be vital together.
Radiating Truth; radiating the light of life
Never shall we denounce anyone; never entertain negativity.
Om Peace Peace Peace!
