This Saturday, join us for a special satsang program that includes the Navaratri puja to the Divine Mother as Saraswati — conducted by a devotee, with chanting and bhajans.
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 — no RSVP or pre-registration is needed to attend the program.
"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."
