Join us for Victory Day, as we celebrate the conclusion of Navaratri - The Nine Nights of the Goddess -
In collaboration with Jason Adams, of MantraWorks, BlueBindu is offering a full Siri Jyoti Pūjā at BlueBindu studio.
Tuesday October 4th. Starting at 5pm and ongoing until 9pm (or quite probably lasting till 10pm)
Siri Jyoti, means the wealth of light. It is a group ritual designed to open the Sri Chakra. The Siri Jyoti Pūjā offers a community experience of abundance, color, joy, and illumination- realized in sharing the brilliant light of the Śrīcakra. As the Śrīcakra opens through the integration of: ritual empowerment; deep contemplation & meditation; building community with like-hearted souls & energies; personal clarity & insight; experiencing space saturated with mantra & healing sound; and compassion for all, enveloping all.
Siri Jyoti Pūjā, is a 5 hour ritual, with the first 3 hours set aside for preparing the space and drawing of the Śrīcakra, and the final 2 hours for the community part of the ritual.
$35 per person - Plus+ every guest participant must bring a dozen roses of any color.
Participants may come and go during the span of the ritual (5 - 9pm). You are welcome to watch the chanting and drawing and making of the Śrīcakra Yantra, but you will definitely want to be present for the community aspect of the group ritual (7pm - 9pm).
There is limited space in the studio around the Yantra, so limited reservations are available. If you are interested in reserving a space in this sacred and beautiful ritual, contact Jennifer of BlueBindu to register for this exciting one of a kind event:

Information for those who are attending the Ritual and event:
Siri Jyoti Pūjā, is a 5 hour ritual, with the first 3 hours set aside for preparing the space and drawing of the Śrīcakra, and the final 2 hours for the community part of the ritual.
While the ritual begins as soon as the Śrīcakra is being drawn, it is not necessary for all participants to be present for this part. That said, any are welcome to observe and participate in the chanting taking place during this part, but the main aspect of community decorating and teaching will start within the final 2 hours- 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
In addition, because the ritual starts as soon as the drawing starts, it is requested that all side talking be kept to a minimum in the ritual space. Please note- Jason will be chanting and drawing, assisted by Jennifer and Joshua. The three of them, will be focusing on the ritual, rather than socializing. You are, of course, welcome to ask questions as needed, at any point in the evening.
This ritual is conducted on the floor. If you will need alternative seating options, please let us know in advance, so we can try to arrange accommodations.
As this is a community event and because it is important for children to receive the energetic blessing of the ritual, children (including small children) are welcome to come. We ask, however, that if your child requires more attention or becomes disruptive, that you step outside so as to not disturb the teaching or the experience for others. Please note: if you do need to step outside, you will be called back at the end portion where we bring the energy into us, so you and your child will receive the energy.
When it is time to begin decorating the Śrī Cakra yantra, attendees will be invited to use the colored sand provided to fill in specific areas. This is a community effort, but for those who can’t or who do not wish to participate in the decorating, they may simply chant along with us.
When the decorating has been completed, attendees will be invited to sit around the Śrī Cakra drawing, and Jason-ji will share a teaching about the ritual and the Śrī Cakra yantra, including leading a group Kalavahana and chanting the Khadgamala, while participants offer flower petals to the yantra.
Toward the end of the ritual, offerings will be made to the center of the yantra, by Jennifer, who will be guided and prompted at that time.
As the ritual comes to a close, we may sing as a final offering. It is not necessary that the song be a traditional song, so if anyone would like to offer a song of beauty, they will be invited to at this time.
At the end of the ritual, depending on time restrictions of all involved, we will open the floor for questions, dialogue, and further group discussion!
If you have any questions on the day of the Pūjā, please call/text:
