Grand Suryadev Hawan Yagna Celebrated at Navsari’s Iconic Satyanarayan Temple to Mark Centenary Year
A Century of Devotion: Navsari’s historic Satyanarayan and Vraj Amba Mata Temple begins its 100th-anniversary festivities with a powerful solar sacrifice for global well-being.
Navsari, a city known for its rich heritage, witnessed a divine spectacle as the Satyanarayan Bhagwan and Mata Vraj Amba Temple organized a magnificent Suryadev Hawan Yagna. Located right across from the Navsari Municipal Corporation building, this sacred shrine is celebrating its 100th year of establishment in 2026. To kick off the centenary celebrations (Shatabdi Mahotsav) with spiritual energy, hundreds of devotees gathered on Sunday to participate in the sacred fire ritual dedicated to the Sun God, marking a golden chapter in the temple’s century-long history.
A Series of 12 Special Events for the Centenary Year
To honor the 100-year milestone, the temple management, under the skilled leadership of General Secretaries Kirtibhai Taylor and Harishbhai Taylor, has curated a year-long calendar featuring 12 major religious and social events.
The Suryadev Hawan Yagna was a key highlight of this series. Learned priests performed the rituals using Vedic mantras and shlokas, creating a serene and sanctified atmosphere. The primary objective of this Yagna was to invoke the blessings of Lord Suryanarayan for the health, prosperity, and peace of the entire community.
Honoring Devotion: Key Participants and Organizers
The Hawan was performed with traditional precision, led by the main sponsors (Yajmans) who offered oblations into the holy fire:
- Ushaben Rameshbhai Darji
- Dayaben Kantilal Balsara
- Dakshaben Nareshbhai
The flawless execution of the event was managed by the core committee including Sureshbhai (Contractor), Kirtibhai Taylor, and Ketanbhai. During the ceremony, the temple’s dedicated priest, Nilesh Bhatt, was specially honored for his years of selfless service and devotion to the deities.
A Legacy of Faith: Special Monthly Satyanarayan Puja
Beyond the centenary celebrations, this historic temple is famous for its Monthly Satyanarayan Puja and Katha held every Purnima (Full Moon).
- Public Participation: The temple invites all devotees to participate in this monthly ritual.
- Registration: Devotees wishing to sit for the puja are required to register their names in advance at the temple office.
This tradition has been the spiritual backbone of the Navsari community for generations, and the 100th-anniversary celebrations aim to further strengthen this bond.
Navsari’s Spiritual Landmark
As the Hawan concluded, a grand Mahaprasad was organized for all well-wishers and visitors. For the people of Navsari, this temple is more than just a structure; it is a symbol of an unbroken spiritual lineage that has flourished for 100 years. The trust has announced that several more grand events are planned in the coming months to keep the centenary flame burning bright.
