Spring Navarātri
Celebrating The Divine Feminine
April 15, 2027
What does it take to truly transform a human life?
For nine nights, Navarātri honors Śakti—the power through which life creates, transforms, and awakens. On the tenth day comes Vijayadaśamī: the Day of Victory.
In the Yogic tradition, this victory marks the triumph of the forces that lead toward clarity, knowledge, and liberation over those that keep human life bound. At Sat Manav, we gather on this culminating day for practice, teaching, sacred ceremony, and celebration, with particular attention given to Saṅkalpa—the Yogic practice of conscious resolve.
Guests are invited to turn the meaning of Vijayadaśamī toward their own lives: to recognize what must be transformed and establish a clear intention for what they are ready to carry forward.

SACRED CEREMONY
Kālī Pūjā
