At the center of our circle is a wishing well, charged water from the seven sacred rivers imbued with the energies of our internal nadis, channels, of pranashakti, Her vital essence within. At the peak of our devotions, we enter into a time of personal meditation on Maa and offer up to Her our prayers. This year, we each brought a red piece of flash paper to our hearts and put ourselves, through this, into the fire.
