Rev. Satyabhama Ashley-Farrand is the Head Priest and performs the pujas on a monthly basis, following Hindu festivals and the full moon.
Our lineage is Sadguru Sant Keshavadas and Satguru Rama Mata of Vishwa Shanti Ashram in Bangalore area. He also published many books. See TempleOfCosmicReligion.org (http://www.templeofcosmicreligion.org). Satguru Rama Mata was here in 2012 for the workshop retreat and will be here again whenever we can schedule her.
The goal is to create a community here of like-minded spiritual people to band together to improve our lives and the lives of others sharing the planet.
There are many mantras for healing, many mantras for protection, and many mantras for success and abundance. There are Liberation mantras from the rounds of rebirth. There are mantras for Enlightenment, particularly the long Gayatri Mantra.
Chanting mantras is one way of reducing karma. Attending pujas, where the priest chants most of the Sanskrit hymns, prayers, mantras, is bathing in the divine energy of the Sanskrit Language, while offerings are made to Ganesha or Lakshmi or Shiva or Saraswati or Guru Dattatreya or Rama or Krishna and others or specially constructed pujas for the Esoteric Holy Spirit, or Healing Rama, or Quan Yin, or the super shakti Esoteric Prosperity Puja. Fire Ceremonies/yajnas will be done at different locations.
Rev. Satyabhama will teach the workshops by Thomas Ashley-Farrand/Namadeva Acharya and the ones she wrote. He is the author of Healing Mantras and many other works found at www.sanskritmantra.com.
