Homa with Br. Ramanandamrita Chaitanya

Br. Ramanandamrita Chaitanya will perform an auspicious Homa (sacred fire ceremony) on Sunday, August 24th, starting at 6:00 am at MA Center Chicago.
Homa, or Puja, is ceremonial worship of the Divine, performed to keep us in harmony with cosmic forces, thereby removing and overcoming the sorrows of life and bringing spiritual upliftment. By doing puja, positive spiritual vibrations are created around us.
All are welcome to attend the Homa.

Please note that those who register for sankalpa do not need to be present to receive the benefits of the Homa. >>>Click here to register. The deadline to register is Saturuay, August 23rd at 9:00 pm.
