## What is Bhaskara Prakasha Ashram?

Bhaskara Prakasha Ashram's cornerstone is the Sri Vidya Peetham in Chennai, India. The Peetham has a rare temple of Goddess Maha Shodashi. The temple also houses the Samadhi of our Guru Sri Vimarshananda Nathendra Saraswathi Maha Swamigal. Bhaskara Prakasha Ashram's members are Sri Vidya Upasakas who are well versed in the Vedas and the tantric practices of Sri Vidya Upasana. Sri Chakra Puja is performed at the lotus feet of Goddess Maha Shodashi every day at the Ashram.

The Ashram also hosts and conducts hundreds of activities every year including Sahasra Chandi Homam, Shata Chandi Homam, Sri Vidya Navavarna Homam, Rudra-Abhishekam, Devi Mahatmyam Parayanam, Veda Parayanam and Suvasini Pooja.

The Ashram strives to impart vedic knowledge by conducting regular classes on Upanishads, Sri Rudram, Sooktams, Sri Durga Saptashati, Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Stotra, Sri Lalita Trishati, Sri Devi Vaibhava Ascharya Ashtottaram to name a few.

This application provides you access to all these classes to learn at your own pace. It also provides a verse by verse practice mode; Sri Devi Mahatmyam and Sri Suktam are included in these current releases for verse by verse practice mode.

The Ashram in Chennai is led by our Guru Sri Vimarshananda Nathendra Maha Swamigal's poorvashrama sons Sri K.R. Yegnarathnam Deekshidar and Sri Ramakrishnan Deekshidar and Sri Gnanananda Teertha Swamigal.
Bhaskara Prakasha Ashram in Canada and USA is led by Sri Yegnarathnam's son, Raghu Ranganathan.
