24-Hour Yajna December 2026

On December 22, 2011, Paramahamsa Vishwananda materialized the murti of Paranitya Narasimha from his heart. For the last six years, we have celebrated this blessed event with a 24-hour yajna.

LAST 24-HOUR YAJNA IN DECEMBER

As of now, this will be the last time we perform a 24-hour yajna in December, so please join us for this historic event.

WHAT IS A YAJNA?

A yajna is an ancient Vedic fire ceremony and a powerful form of prayer. When offered with love and devotion it becomes a selfless act of worship in which the Lord Himself receives the offerings through the fire. Traditionally everyone stays awake throughout the night, taking turns at the fire, however you are welcome to come and go as you like. 

VAIKUNTHA EKADASHI ABHISHEKAM

The yajna ends on Vaikuntha Ekadashi, a very special day when the gate to Lord Vishnu's supreme celestial abode, Vaikuntha is opened to grant  spiritual liberation (moksha) to those who observe the fast with loving devotion. 

After the yajna, we will perform abhishekam to Paranitya Narasimha and more than 1000 Shaligrams. Everyone is welcome to come and offer water, a very rare and precious blessing.
