Krishna Jayanthi with Swamini
Sep 5, 2026 4:00pm-8:30pm
Amma has said that "Many great souls have taken birth on this earth, but Sri Krishna was a master and guide for all times, places and people.” Join us for our annual Krishna Jayanthi satsang, which will include a Krishna puja, bhajans, and Uri Adi (the breaking of the pot celebration - fun for kids old and young) with Swamini Ambikamrita Prana. This year's Krishna Jayanthi celebration will include Onam festivities (Onam is the colorful harvest festival of Kerala). We hope to see you here!
The schedule for our Krishna Jayanthi program is as follows (tentative/subject to change):
4:00-5:00PM - Archana (devotional chanting)
5:00-6:30PM - Krishna Puja, Krishna Bhajans, Krishna Ashtotaram and Krishna Arati
6:30-7:15PM - Procession & Uri Adi
7:15-7:30PM- Amma Arati and Short Meditation
7:30PM - Prasadam and Light Dinner
During satsang, we pray for those in need. To learn how to add someone to the MA Center Chicago prayer list, click here.

The purpose of Yoga is for our inner well-being. It does not belong to any particular faith or religion. It was passed on to us by the ancient seers for the well-being of humanity. Yoga helps us reconnect with nature and eventually become one with God. - Amma
