🌅 Significance of Upaakarma
This sacred day marks when Lord Sri Brahma received the Upadesam of the Vedas from Sri Bhagavan. Upaakarma renews our spiritual vows and connection to Vedic tradition.
🌸 Glory of Sri Gaayathree Devi
🗓️ Perform Gaayathree Japam on Friday, August 8, 2025

Gaayathree is revered as the divine embodiment of knowledge, purity, and strength. Her five heads represent the four Vedas and the Almighty. Chanting the Gaayathree Mantra removes sins and enlightens the intellect.
🙏 HARI OM!
