13 Mata Ki Chowki is one of the important festivals in Northern India. Every day of the year, a mass of humanity surges up steep pathways that cut across the hillside formile after mile to view Holy Pindis, hid-den in the cave at Trikuta mountain. During Mata Ki Chowki devotees sing bhajans in favor of Durga Matha who is represented in many forms like Vaishno Maa, Santoshi Maa, Durga Maa, Kaali Maa, Ambe Maa, Saraswati Maa & Lakshmi Maa. According to Holy Book Durga Saptashati, that people will be blessed with the accumulation of wealth, respectable children and the obstacles in their lives will be eliminated if they perform Devi Puja. It goes on to say that without a doubt, these people will be granted all their desires, wishes and their objectives in life will be fulfilled. This will be achieved not by personal contacts but only through the divine grace and blessing of Mata Ji. The duration of a Chowki is usually two to four hours, whereas a Jaagran is all night while sitting in the presence of the Divine Mother (Mata).

20 23rd June Sunday to PM on VASTU BY Swami Manjulanand ji ( Dr.Manjul Kany Dwivedi ) The Ancient Secrets of Harmonizing Your Living Space) There is a need to create awareness amongst the people so that they may know about VASTU SHASTRA and enjoy their lives with peace and harmony benefiting from the wisdom and spiritual experience of our ancient sages and seers. In fact the limited piece of land then attempts to connect itself with the all pervading unlimited power of the Universe and establishes a harmonious relationship with that power.

21 As streams of Cosmic Power reflected in the forms of Sun, Earth, Air, Water & Sky do not discriminate against individuals and the benefits they give are for all to obtain, similarly, the principles & power of Indian Vastu Shastra are for the whole mankind and therefore anybody can derive benefits by following principles of Indian Vastu Shastra without any consideration of caste, creed, religion and community. The principles of Vastu Shastra are being prevalent since Vedic era. Surprisingly, we people though accept the sovereignty of Vedic Science Yoga, meditation etc. but probably, at the same time consider Vastu Shastra as a thing of negligence. Vastu is the ancestor of Feng-Shui. Vastu has a wide effect on human health and is a supportive science of Ayurveda and Yoga. In fact, the three sciences make their treatment using three common basic elements with different names: Vayavya(Air), Agneya(Fire), and Eshan(Water) in Vastu Shastra; Vaat(Air), Pitta(Fire), and Kuf(Water) in Ayurveda; Eda Nadi (Chandra/Water), Pingla Nadi (Surya/Fire) and Sushumna Nadi (Cosmic Energy/Air/Space) in Yoga. Vastu stipulates that a Vastu Purush exists in every surrounding. The cosmic energy is the base of Vastu Shastra. Being enlightened about Vastu is a powerful defensive tool against family tensions, career problems, mental depression, wealth loss, diseases, and accidents. Swami Manjulanand (Dr. Manjul Kant Dwivedi) is a spiritual Guru and a world renowned Vastu expert. The Divine Grace has bestowed him with the inherent knowledge of Vastu and communication power with invisible energies. He was born in a Brahman family of Hardoi (U.P, INDIA), which falls within the influence area of Namisharanya, a great center of pilgrimage where 88 thousand sages had practiced penance for knowledge and liberation. He uses a spiritual approach and senses vibrations of deities present in Vastu-Purusha and merged in every particle of land and building. According to him, the whole universe is a manifestation of cosmic energies of that Super Power. If we are able to comprehend and conceive the flow of this energy, there will be no problems left. 23 rd :- Sunday Snana Pooenima ( Bhagwan Jaganath ) With a great pleasure I would like to announce the 20th anniversary of our JAGANATH RATHA JATRA CELEBRATION at the Fremont Hindu Temple during June - July, The Bay Area Odia Community and others have participated in this event with great devotion for last 20 years.

23 7:30 P.M. Preeti Bhoj ( Odia Sponsor ) Snana Yatra(Snana Purnima) Millenia ago, king Indradyumna started the ceremony of bathing(snana-ytra)lord Jagannath with 108 pots of sandal-scented well water. At that time, Lord Jagannath told the King that for fifteen days after snana-yatra, no one should se the Deities. Snana-Yatra occurs on Jyestha Purnima(June Full Moon), one of the hottest days of the year. Skanda Purana says that Bhagavan Sri Krishna manifested His Daru Bramha form as Jagannath Swami on this day. Therefore, Jyestha Purnima(Snana Yatra day) is the appearance day of Lord Jagannath or Birth day of Lord Jagannath ust before sunrise, Balabhadra, Sudarsana, Subhadra and finally Jagannath are brought in a hopping style procession to the bathing platform located on the north-east corner of the temple s outer boundary wall(meghanada Pacheri). The deities stand the whole day within public view under a multicolored canopy, Pujaris bathe the Deities(Abhiseka) with 108 golden water pots of refreshing sandalscented water. From snana-yatra until the end of rath-yatra, Lord Jagannath is cared for by a group of pujaris called Daitapatis, who are descendants of the Brahmin Vidyapati and Lalita, the daughter of the tribal(sabara) chief Visvavasu.
