Bhagavati Seva is an ancient Vedic ceremony intended to restore balance in the environment and bring peace within us and in the world. It balances the malefic effects of planets and keeps us in harmony with cosmic forces, thereby removing the sorrows of life and bringing spiritual upliftment.
This is a powerful worship, which consists of invoking the energy of the Goddess in a large lamp kept on a hand-drawn diagram of a colorful lotus, which is the symbol of the Universe. The lamp is thus placed on an energized diagram created with colors representing the five elements of the Universe. The Goddess combines in herself, three powerful forms namely Saraswathi, Lakshmi and Durga, and the Goddess is invoked in one of these forms. A tremendous energy is generated during the worship and the sincere prayers of the devotees are fulfilled.
