Diwali with Swamiji & Maha Lakshmi Puja
Nov 5, 2021 6:00pm-8:30pm (ended)
6 pm - 8:30 pm Pacific Time
Amma says that Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights, is a reminder to us to light the lamp of goodness to remove the darkness of wickedness within - to invoke the divine within our hearts. If we can light the lamp of faith and love in our hearts and walk forward together, then we definitely can dispel the darkness that we see around and bring about a change in society.
MA Center will celebrate Diwali with a traditional Vedic puja ceremony dedicated to Maha Lakshmi, the Goddess of Auspiciousness, performed by Pujarini Meera. The program will begin with a short meditation and Diwali message by Swami Dayamritananda Puri. The puja will follow, with group chanting and devotional singing led by Swamiji.
The live program will be broadcast on the MA Center San Ramon YouTube Channel at this link: https://youtu.be/bXtuSyF-YXQ
The puja is open to all - no registration is required to attend. In addition, you can register for a sankalpa (special intention) to be made during the puja on your behalf, or for a loved one.

Directions
The Main House is on the hill above the temple hall. When you arrive at MA Center, turn right and cross over the small bridge. 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.
