Your name read aloud in the Radiance Fire every month for a year, beginning Sunday 11 October. Twelve ceremonies, each one filmed, each recording yours to keep.
$450 for the year, and the thirteenth ceremony is free. A place in one fire is $37.50, so twelve is $450. Book the year and your name goes into the next fire on our schedule as well, included, so the year opens with two ceremonies rather than one.
Thirteen ceremonies in all: the twelve of the year, and the free one in the next fire on our schedule.
Once a month, one of our fires in Vrindavan is dedicated to the Sun. Brahmins prepare the ground, light the fire, and read aloud the names given to them. Within a day you receive a private video of the ceremony your name was read in.
India has honored the Sun for thousands of years as the giver of light and radiance. Our name for that monthly fire is the Radiance Fire.
An old text tells of Samba, a prince, whose skin was afflicted and who turned to the Sun. He is said to have worshipped at the water's edge for twelve years, and to have been restored. In Odisha the day is still kept as Samba Dashami, and mothers cook for the Sun at dawn.
We tell it as tradition, because that is what it is. Take part in the ceremony from your end: feel it, experience it, enjoy it.
One ceremony now, in the next fire on our schedule. Your name is read aloud in it and a private recording comes to the email you booked with. This one is the free thirteenth.
Then the Radiance Fire on 11 October, and every Radiance Fire after it for a year. Twelve fires, each with its own recording.
Names close 48 hours before each ceremony, so a name can be corrected or added at any point in the year.
A single ceremony is $37.50, paid once, with nothing attached to it. Your name is read in the next fire and the recording is yours. If you then want the year, it is twelve of the same thing.
Book a single ceremony instead
The year begins with the fire on 11 October. Book the year and your name is also read in the next fire on our schedule, whenever it falls.
