Sat Chandi Mahayajna in 2008

Rikhiapeeth has a special relationship with Devi Ma. It was during her worship at the Sat Chandi Mahayajna in 2006 that Rikhiapeeth was officially born. At the moment of poornahuti, the final oblations to Devi, Swami Satyananda declared, “I received three instructions from my Guru Swami Sivananda, ‘Serve, love and give.’ These precepts became the sadhana to be perfected in my life and took a definite form when I came to Rikhia. The Rikhia ashram will now be known as Rikhiapeeth. Peeth means ‘seat’, an apt term for Rikhia as the instructions given by Swami Sivananda has culminated and fructified here. The Sat Chandi Mahayajna which I have performed at Rikhiapeeth for the last twelve years has brought the divine grace of Devi to all of you. It seems Devi is here to stay. She has become a part of this place and we will honour her each year with this most magnificent and powerful tribute to her – the Sat Chandi Mahayajna.”


The year 2007 saw the culmination of the twelve-year sankalpa for the Rajasooya yajna, during which millions of people converged at this remote village of Rikhia, to offer their love and devotion to Swami Satyananda. Although the Rajasooya yajna is over, the Sat Chandi Mahayajna will continue.

This yajna is most popular because it addresses the deep and abiding bond each one of us has with the most special person of our lives, without whom we would not exist today – The Mother.

As the cosmic Shakti, she is the universal mother and we are all her children. It does not matter who you are, where you come from, or what is your caste, creed or gender. You belong to her. The Sat Chandi Mahayajna pays homage to this simple truth and serves as an opportunity to bring us closer to the divine energy of the Supreme Shakti and connect us with Her so that she may turn her benevolent and compassionate gaze on us and bless each and every sphere of our lives.
