Seva Saturday & Satsang
(Monthly event) Jun 24, 2023 to Jul 18, 2026 (ended)
This is the big seva day to get MACC ready for Swamiji's programs, and we need everyone's help. Please plan to join us all day if possible for gardening, cleaning, and everything else needed as we lovingly prepare MA Center Chicago for Swamiji's upcoming programs. Lunch will be served to all volunteers, and we'll stay after for our regular weekly satsang - bhajans, arati, and a freshly prepared vegetarian meal (available for a modest donation). Here's the schedule:
9:15am - Chai in the satsang hall
9:30am - Prayer in the satsang hall before dividing into seva teams
1:00pm - Lunch for all volunteers
1:30 - 3:30pm - Seva continues
4:00pm - Archana
5:00pm - Satsang followed by a freshly prepared vegetarian meal (available for a modest donation).
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
