Pongal Satsang

Join us for a day of community and devotion at MA Center Chicago, featuring a special Pongal satsang. Amma says that Creator and Creation are not two, but one – the Divine exists in and through all of Creation. Pongal reminds us of this truth, and provides an opportunity for us to express our gratitude to Mother Nature for all her generous gifts. Here's the schedule:
4:00 pm - Archana (chanting of the divine names)
5:00 pm - Bhajans, arati, meditation, closing prayers, and prasad
After satsang, a delicious vegetarian meal will be available for a modest donation.
Masking is now optional in group gatherings and spaces at MA Center Chicago. Keeping the health and safety of all who wish to attend uppermost in our minds, please abide by the following COVID guidelines:

You can end isolation after 5 days but should wear a high-quality mask for 5 additional days around others. If you have severe symptoms for 5 days, please isolate for an additional 5 days. MA Center Chicago residents should notify a member of the COVID Preparedness Team to request help obtaining food/other supplies.
