Community Seva Day & Ganesha Visarjan
Sep 6, 2025 9:30am-5:30pm
Ganesha Visarjan: 4 PM - 5:30 PM
Join us for a special day of community building through selfless service. This Saturday we will be setting up the hall after the offsite programs with Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri in August. Lunch, snacks, & delicious hot chai will be provided.
All ages and skills are welcome!
The seva day will be followed by the Ganesha Visarjan program at 4 PM. This is the final step of Ganesha Chaturthi. The Ganesha Visarjan will include the Murthi immersion ceremony, in which the clay Ganeshas that were individually made and worshiped are immersed in water. This immersion ceremony symbolizes that all forms are temporary, having both their origin and final destination in the formless Absolute. The program will also include a puja, procession, and bhajans.
RSVP for meals: If you will be joining us for lunch and/or dinner, please RSVP by Thursday, September 4, at 10 PM here >>

Prayer list: The prayer list is shown every Saturday before Arati for the community to come together in silent prayer for friends, family and loved ones that are undergoing hardship, illness or just need a special thought.

Use the call box on your left just before the outer gate to communicate that you need the gate opened to drive through. Then follow the road past the temple. The road continues on the right next to the temple gate, then curves left up the hill to the Main House. The puja room is just inside the front door to the house.
