Community Seva Day with Swamini

May 10, 2025 10:00am-6:30pm 

Join us for a special day of community building through selfless service. Let’s beautify and upgrade our beloved ashram together. We’ll be tackling big projects and caring for the trees (weather permitting). We will provide all tools needed, lunch, snacks, & delicious hot chai. All ages and skills are welcome! 

The day will end with chanting, a short bhajan session (3 bhajans and the Mahisasurmardini Stotram), prasad and chai/snacks. Please note the earlier end time for the Saturday satsang in the schedule below. The focus of the day will be on selfless service and the earlier end time will also enable our kitchen volunteers to participate in the community seva day programs.

Schedule:

10:00 AM - 3:30 PM: Seva day, including lunch (meet in the satsang hall)
3:30 PM - Chai & Hearty Snack Break
4:00 PM - 6 PM: Archana, Guru Stotram, Bhajans, Arati and Closing Prayers
6 PM: Prasad & Chai for all

Prasad and Chai will be available after the program (dinner will not be served).

If you have any questions, please email macenterchicago@ammagroups.org.
