After the physical yoga is done for the day join us for an authentic experience of Bakthi Yoga Puja.

Yagam (yagna or homam) is an ancient sacred fire ritual where auspicious items such as ghee (clarified butter) are offered into the sacred agni (fire) and to the devas (celestial beings). Vedic chants accompany this. Various types of yagam items offered may vary with each ceremony and hold specific symbolism. The purpose of this ritual is for loka kalyan (the benefit of humankind).

Tobias Meinecke is a long-time devotee of Indian saint Sri Sakthi Amma. This will be a special experience of Bakthi Yoga Puja, or ritualized meditation.
