In honour of Navaratri, the twice yearly spiritual celebration of the nine nights of the Goddess; Swami Karma Karuna & Anahata Residents will be hosting this event and the opportunity to transform during this auspicious time. Navaratri is a potent time for spiritual and yogic practices (Sadhana) to amplify their effects.
