Sunday April 18th 8 AM - 12.30 PM

Greater Atlanta Vedic Temple has had the noble tradition of organizing Vedic Mahayajnya each year in celebration of one of the four Vedas (pillars of Hindu ethos). This year's Mahayajnya- YAJURVED MAHAYAJNYA- is to be held on April 18, 2010 from 8 am to 12.30 pm. This is being done with the aim of propagating world peace and prosperity. With natural calamities and devastation in Haiti, Chile, Hawaii etc and humanly created terrorist attacks, it seems the world is on its perilous edge. While we react by mobilizing aid and support, we feel there is a stronger way to avert such disasters by praying fervently with combined good intent. It works wonders as the effective words echo in the outer space and have proved from time immemorial to impact even to diminish the strength of nature besides of course taming the hatred by which man inflicts destruction. So it is timely that such mass prayers are undertaken and supported by everyone.  

With this basic purpose, Greater Atlanta Vedic Temple beckons you to sponsor or simply attend this year’s collective prayers – Annual Mahayajnya (unique collective Vedic prayers to propagate tranquility in the universe). This will give all sponsors and attendees an opportunity to appreciate how the simple process of Yajnya ushers positivity of thought and action thus imbibing divine energy within each one. This energy is self-propelling towards a calmer mind and body even impacting the surroundings where we dwell. With collective recital of selected Vedic hymns, this mega-prayer is conducted in the same manner as in ancient times and certainly generates individual and amalgamated will-prowess. The herbal ingredients offered into the sacred fire have the capacity and power to emancipate the conscience leading to noble thoughts and deeds aimed at fostering an attitude of collaborative and accommodative living.
