SHARANYA's Kali Puja is a worship ceremony dedicated to the Divine Mother. Your participation in worship is helping to create a living (R)evolutionary Shakta Tantra - we welcome you to join us! At SHARANYA (www.SHARANYA.org), we are dedicated in our worship to Goddess Kali in Her myriad forms, including those as She is expressed through the world's various traditions that honor the Dark Goddess, the one who holds the wisdom of the full spectrum of human beingness. Ceremony is held in the Sha'can tradition and lead by Rashani (ordained clergy) with help from our initiates and community. Our puja infuses methods and practices from East and West in order to create a sacred space for worship, deepening, and opening on the path of the bhakta, or devotee of the Divine. What to bring... Offerings for the main altar are welcome. It is customary to bring flowers, fruit, wine, vegetarian offerings, or sweets and to refrain from wearing black to our public rituals. If you wish to wear a special color for Kali, we invite you to don red, a color associated with Her power in the phenomenal world as shakti, the activating force and the energy of creation. You are also invited to bring an object you would like to have blessed. A sliding scale donation of $21-11 is suggested to cover the cost of the space, puja supplies and prasad (blessed food); however, no one is ever turned away for lack of funds, and any donation is graciously accepted--we appreciate so much the offerings you make to support our work and the community. An R.S.V.P. is requested to info@sharanya.org. Doors open at 5:30pm. Worship ends at 8:30pm, including community time and sharing of prasad. Children are welcome, but no childcare is provided. Chairs are available only for those who need them and arrangements can be made for wheelchair access - kindly let us know in advance. Not in the San Francisco Bay Area? If you are not in the Bay Area or cannot attend events for any reason, please join one of our online communities and participate in learning more about Maa through Kali Vidya: A Wisdom School for Her Mysteries at www.KaliVidya.org. Kali Vidya is offering a series of classes that you can work through independently or with your current worship circle, and we are now taking registrations for our introductory course, staring September 1st! SHARANYA is a federally-recognized 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to (r)evolutionary worship and evolution of the mysteries of Devi, goddess, in the work of engaged spirituality for social justice and transformation. Jai Maa!
