For the Love of Yoga with Nish the Fish Akshaya Tritiya, Mātangi Jayanti and The Highest Non Dual Shaiva Teaching
Today is an exceedingly important day: Akshaya Tritiya! Because the sun and moon are in very exalted positions and because of the association of this day to a series of auspicious events in Puranic Hinduism (the day Mā Ganga came down into the earth from the heavens, the day Vyāsa began dictating the Mahābhārata to Ganesh, the day Yudishthira received his unlimited food bowl, the day that Parvati appeared as Annapurna to feed everyone among other things), today is typically regarded as a great day to buy gold, begin new projects, embark on new ventures and most importantly, do spiritual practice. Whatever is started on this day while endure for a long time, if not forever and whatever spiritual practices are performed go extra hard and have a bigger impact in our lives. The TLDR of this is: it's max XP day, kula. Have at it!
But also what's especially important for us is that today is Mātangi Jayanti. In this video, we say a few things about Akshaya Tritiya, about Mātangi and also about the Paramārthasāra of Abhinava Gupta with specific reference to Swami Vivekananda and also Swami Lakshman Joo whose Jayanti (birthday) it was yesterday.
Today (May 10th 2024) at 3pm PST we're having a special Akshaya Tritiya puja on zoom followed by a Maha Mritunjaya and Candi recitation. We'll probably have the zoom room open form 3-7pm PST so feel free to drop in any time. After the puja and chanting, with whatever time we have remaining, we'll have a satsangh about Mātangi and the daśamahāvidyās, the ten forms of Devī.
