Durgam means difficulty. Durga is the Remover of Difficulties. Durga removes the difficulties preventing us from union with God. In this first class, Swamiji explains the five steps of puja: preparation, purification, invitation, union and offering. These steps outline the way to effectively welcome God into our lives. Session concludes with Swamiji's answers to online viewers questions.

In this second Durga Puja video, Swamiji translates the 32 names of Durga, the Durga Chalisa, the Song in Celebration, and the closing mantras. These powerful mantras and songs, when recited with devotion, will certainly remove difficulties from any situation. And even if there are no difficulties, it sure is great to be in the presence of the Divine Mother! This session ends with Swamiji's answers to online viewers questions.
