Jai Shri Mataji,


Thank you for your heartfelt responses and comments. The survey for Navratri online timings is complete and it seems like we will be going with:


10pm Eastern / 7pm Pacific Time - Starting Saturday Sept 19th


Important: Unlike last year, this year, the online pujas will be password protected. What do you need to do? You will need to sign up for the "Online Puja Room" created for this Navratri and other online pujas we may do in the future. You will need to answer some questions before you are able to access the online puja room.
