Fire Ceremony and Meditation
December 8 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am
The fire ceremony is but a symbol of the true fire ritual which takes place within each of us through our spiritual practices. In this ceremony, we offer up all of our desires, attachments, and past karma to be transmuted and purified.
The fire ceremony includes the chanting of two ancient mantras: the Gayatri Mantra which is for enlightenment and the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra which is for liberation.
During the Gayatri Mantra, the ghee is offered into the fire, representing our devotion and longing to know God. During the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, rice is dropped into the fire, representing our past karma, which will be transformed and offered up to the Divine.
We end with about a half hour of silent meditation.
You can attend this ceremony and meditation live at our temple in Rancho Cordova (address below) or join us on YouTube HERE.
