<p>Begun in 2006, this year marked the 8th anniversary of SHARANYA's Yoni Puja Festival. Designed to welcome newcomers and initiates alike, the community provides spiritual seekers of all backgrounds an introduction to the Divine Mother as the Goddess of Life, Death and Rebirth. We came together on the night of June 22, 2014 to sing Her praises, offer our devotions, worship Her and receive the divine nectar of Her bliss, the <i>yoni tattva</i>. As Maa Kamakhya, She holds the power of the cosmos and the liberating potentials of the female as birther of Her creation.</p>

<p>Many devotees filled the temple singing Her names, assembling with reverence and respect to honor Earth, women and Goddess. Opening through the gateways provided by age-old spiritual techniques, we together came to understand ourselves, one another and the Divine more deeply through our communion and worship. Jai Maa!</p>
