The Bhagat Mandli of Hari Om Mandir holds the Devi Jagran on the first Saturday of every month at 7:00 PM. The host family should arrive there by 6:30 P.M. and get the prasad ready. Pooja begins at 7:00 PM. Depending on the number of family members wanting to do the Pooja, coconuts should be brought wrapped in red cloth along with the desired amount of cash ($1, $5, $10 or more) plus cloves and elaichi (cardamom). After completion of the Pooja, please give dakshina of $11 or more to the Pujaris.
We start the Ardaas at 9:50 PM. The host family should donate $51 or more depending on your budget. At 10:00 PM, the Bhog to Mata Ji & Aarti begins and the host family must be present at that time since they should be the first to do Aarti and receive Prasad.
After Aarti & Prasad is over, the host family serves the food downstairs. Food is not necessary for Devi Jagran, but it is up to the host family. If you do serve the food, once everyone has eaten you must clean the kitchen and utensils, broom & mop the floor, clean the tables, stack the chairs, throw out the garbage in the dumpster, and turn off the lights before leaving for home.
