Maha Seva Weekends
(Daily event) Jun 22, 2013 to Jun 23, 2013 (ended)
Greetings from the Seva Team at MA Center Chicago (MACC)!
As Br. Shantamrita Chaitanya aptly described it, let us pool our willing resources to "polish the vessel" to "receive the milk of Amma's grace."
The weekends of June 15-16 and June 22-23 are identified as the Maha Seva Weekends by the Seva Team.
The sevas involve outdoor tasks –mowing, mulching, pruning, weeding, etc.-- and indoor tasks –cleaning, dusting, moving light and not-so-light furniture, vacuuming, etc.
The sevas, starting at around 9:00am, will continue throughout the day, with short breaks for lunch and refreshments. They will conclude with a short satsang and dinner.
Are you ready for the Seva?
Please RSVP: maccseva@gmail.com Send an email indicating the day(s) you will be at MACC.
For those seeking accommodation: Please email maccseva@gmail.com or Uma Rao amritayogacenter@prodigy.net
Kindly indicate the day(s) and number of members with you to enable the Seva Team to arrange accommodation.
MACC Seva Team looks forward to an enthusiastic response!
