VVC is currently performing a Shiva Puja every Monday for the next month to celebrate the month of Shravana. This is done by offering Rudra Abhisheka and Mrtyunjaya Homa (Fire RItual). Shravana is a very beneficial time to amend karmic blockages and overcome obstacles in life. If you would like to participate as Yajaman in one of the pujas, please contact us. For more information, please call Elliot at (503) 575-6548, or email info@vedavyasacenter.org. Below is a concise list of dates of the upcoming Shiva Pujas. All are welcome to any of the Pujas listed below. Please bring something you deem appropriate as an offering (flowers, sweets, etc.), but it is not absolutely necessary.
