On Saturday evenings, our community comes together for satsang (spiritual talk), chanting and bhajans, and to connect informally with old and new friends. All are welcome — an RSVP or pre-registration is not required to attend the program.
This Week’s Satsang: To Be Here Is Immense — A Devotee’s Story
Join us for a special satsang with Gunaja Clare Simons, author of To Be Here Is Immense, a deeply personal reflection on love, loss, devotion, and navigating the spiritual path through life's imperfections.
Gunaja will share excerpts from her book, which is dedicated to Amma and her late husband Scotti Rice, who served on the Embracing the World teams and passed away during Amma's U.S. tour in 2016.
Described by Spirituality & Practice as “culturally smart, often hilarious, and full of heart,” the book comes highly recommended by the publication.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase, with all proceeds benefiting M.A. Center.
"Group chanting and prayer is very powerful. It can change anything. The lost harmony of the human mind can be restored only through a selfless attitude supported by prayer, meditation and chanting of mantras."
