Vishu is a celebration of the connection between man and Nature. Traditionally, Vishu is the time of year when crop seeds are sown. In many parts of India, Vishu marks the start of a new year.

  • Bhajans
  • Group Dancing
  • Arati and closing prayers
  • Prasad & Chai for all. Special Vishu Hot Dinner Box & Snacks for purchase. (See below for details)

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. Please submit the names of people to be added to the prayer list by 7:00 PM on Friday at: https://bit.ly/SRPrayerList

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.
