This opportunity for Swamiji’s visit arose spontaneously on very short notice and we are grateful for his visit.  Apologies for the short notice and any inconvenience it may cause.        

The new MA Center Dallas was chosen for the first ever U.S. 7 day Amrita Silent Retreat Immersion  from Feb 19-26 and we are working hard to prepare the ashram to be ready for this blessed event.  More than 50 attendees are registered and coming from all over the country. The satsang will be the conclusion of a Special Seva Weekend  at MACD to prepare for the retreat. 

The seva weekend on Feb 4th and 5th will include the opportunity  for overnight accommodations for those who wish to stay at the ashram on Friday and Saturday night at the special rate of $15/night per person, $25/night per couple (children stay free).  To register for accommodations and for questions contact MACD.  If you are unable to stay overnight, please come for any part of the seva weekend schedule at the times below:
