Special Services at NYCC

October 4: The Young Adults Group will meet next Sunday, October 4 at 12:15 pm in the third floor social area. All young adults, ages 18-40, are invited to join in this hour of fellowship and discussion, followed by a vegetarian lunch.

October 11: We will be holding a Chanting Service in the main chapel on Sunday, October 11, from 12:30-1:30 pm. The service consists of chants alternating with brief periods of meditative silence. Paramahansa Yogananda encouraged the practice of devotional chanting as an aid to Divine perceptions. Many devotees find these longer chanting sessions helpful in deepening their meditations. If you plan to attend, please be seated in the chapel by 12:25 pm.
