Day 30 - Saraswati Puja

I can not believe it's over. A full month of the goddess. What a good way to end this adventure with a celebration to the goddess Saraswati. My Narcissus bulbs are in full bloom and very fragrante.


On the day of Vasant Panchami or Saraswati Puja not only students pray to the Goddess but everyone invoke the blessings of the goddess Saraswati for success in learning, arts and crafts. Throughout India Saraswati Puja is celebrated in schools, colleges as well as at homes. In all educational institutions of music, arts and science, Saraswati Puja is observed with great reverence. The rituals of the Saraswati Puja are quite different from others. So, for the guidance of devotees we provide some basic rituals usually performed during Saraswati Puja.

I should definitely make this part of my super-sized project.

I brought my goddess box and Imix for the Puja. Shibana help with the history and getting it organized.

Day 29 - Goddess Pillow Fight

Part of my week of Goddess pleasures. What comes naturally after and entire week dedicated to bubble baths, mud mask facials, pedicures, massages, body lotions and herbal teas?

I may be a beauty school dropout but pillow fights, of course!

So Goddess Up, bring your Kali, your Durga, your Ganga, Tara, Radha, Sita and get your game on.

Saraswati, double downward dog dares you.

Thank you for all who joined in on the fun. Of course it came as no surprise Kali won, even with 2 arms tied behind her back

Day 28 - Goddess Garden

Spent the day in the sun and enjoying cleaning up the yard before spring.
So much to do, fertilize, trim back shrubs and trees. I got the pruning done on my olives and pomegranet trees.
Hopefully I will get my Bocce court put in this spring. My grape arbor should start filling in and will be a great area for outdoor dinners.

Day 27 - Tantric Sun

I made this wreath from willow branches. One of the definitions of Tantra is to loom or weave, so I call it a Tantric sun.
I would like to make one much larger, perhaps five to six feet across. I think it would look good in a yoga studio.

Day 26 - Saraswati YouTube

There are a lot of videos out there dedicated to Saraswati. I would like to spend some time and make one. This would be a good opportunity to learn Imovie. Plus give a little time to experiment before working on other projects I have in mind.

Day 25 - Dance with the Goddess

There is an African dance classs at the club. It is definitly a ladies kind of thing, I never see any men. I decided it would be worth a try. Moving freely outside of yoga is a change for the body. It felt really good. I think it was one of the best ways to get rid of any ego at the moment. I must have look fairly ridiculus trying to gyrate my hips whie swinging my arms and legs around. I did my best. I would like to bring some of the fluidity of movement into some of our static yoga poses.

Day 24 - Garden with the Goddess

Getting in touch with nature, time to get out side and clean up the yard.

Prepare the winter beds for spring planting.

Cutting and pruning, what I do best. This is a great time to prune back the olive trees and shrubs.
