Sai Ananda Mahanavarathri 2022

Navaratri, the nine-day celebration of the divine feminine in various forms, holds immense significance for Devi sadhakas and devotees. Last year's festivities took place at Sai Chaithanyam Mandir, and for 2022, Swami decided to grace Yavatmal, Maharashtra with His presence, marking His first multi-day event held outside Kerala. The Nandurkar family played a pivotal role in organizing this grand occasion in Yavatmal.

The nine-day program was a vibrant tapestry of energy, devotion, and bliss. The children and alumni of Nandurkar Vidyalaya, Yavatmal, showcased their talents through captivating cultural and spiritual performances. Swami meticulously crafted the schedule and plan for the Navaratri celebration, ensuring that each day honored the presiding deity with elaborate rituals, pujas, and homams.

This auspicious occasion witnessed remarkable miracles as well. On the fourth day, Swami materialized a Kooshmanda Lingam before the mesmerized devotees. Throughout the nine days, Swami visited the homes of various devotees, who welcomed Him with profound devotion and boundless love.

The grand finale of the program was the Vijaya Dashami celebrations, culminating with the Sarvopachara Sahitha Sai Saraswathi Nidra Pooja—an extraordinary ritual that allows Goddess Saraswathi to rest after the nine days of uninterrupted festivities. Swami and His convoy returned to Kerala, leaving behind cherished memories of this divine celebration in Yavatmal.
