We will be opening the 2nd branch of Aanand Saagar in Santa Monica this Sunday, January 10th. Please join us in celebrating this new beginning. Feel free to invite your friends and family to this event. We will celebrate this occasion with a puja (Hindu religious ritual) followed by a kirtan.
The puja will start at 5.00 PM followed by a kirtan at 6.30 PM.
The puja will be performed by Kailas and Lalita. It is an auspicious opening ritual to generate good karma and spiritual blessings. It will start with Ganesh puja to remove obstacles and support new beginnings, followed by Lakshmi puja for prosperity and peace. We will end with a very special and rare puja to the form of the universal mother in the 'Shri Yantra'. Prasad (blessed food) and some light refreshments will be served after the puja. Cooper Madison will thereafter lead the evening with some devotional music.
The new wellness center is located at 1318, 2nd Street, #21, Santa Monica, 90401. Classes will begin on Jan 11th. We will continue to offer the same services in the new location as well: Asanas, Meditation, Energy Healing, Yoga/Spiritual workshops, Sacred sound workshops, Satsangs and Indian Classical Music classes.

Songs to the Great Goddess
Musical compositions from the sacred text, The Devi Mahatmyam (The Chandi, Durga Saptashati) during Navaratri puja at the Sri Rajarajeswari Temple.
Lalita - Lily Diamond was put on the path of the Divine Mother in Hinduism through a series of miracles with the sacred text, The Devi Mahatmyam, powerful healing experiences in her healing practice, and visitations of the Goddess.
The Devi Mahatmyam is said to be a "mantra shastra," a tool for individual liberation and for bringing peace, wellness, harmony, prosperity and enlightenment during times of conflict, disease, poverty, war and ignorance.
It is a tradition to set the four hymns in praise of Goddess Durga and Her manifestations to music, along with other slokas and mantras, which are then sung as a form of divine offering.
For more information and directions, please contact Lalita at 323 465-9006.
