Event details: SHARANYA's Kali Puja
Description
Our ongoing puja, or worship ceremony, is open to all! Held in our sanctuary space located in San Francisco, we gather to celebrate the Divine every month, and you may find our full calendar here.
At
SHARANYA, 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 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. Learn more about what our ceremonies are like with this brief introduction.
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 $15-21 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 if you would like to participate. All Kali Puja ceremonies begin at 5:30 p.m. No one is admitted after 5:45pm.
Worship usually ends at 8:00pm and is followed by community time and
sharing of prasad. Children are welcome, but no childcare is provided.
Cushions and chairs are available (arrangements can be made for
wheelchair access - kindly let us know in advance).
Call for information, including location and directions to events around the Bay Area: (415) 505-6840, or email us at info@sharanya.org. Note: Pujas are preceded by our teaching circle, Daughters of Kali.
Temple Etiquette and Good Things to Know for Puja!
If you are not in the Bay Area or cannot attend the monthly meetings, please join us online for a series of classes that you can work through independently or with your current worship circle. We are currently taking registrations and look forward to working with you!
