July 5: This month's Chanting Service, held in the main chapel from 12:30-2:00 pm, is in honor of the upcoming Guru Purnima, a traditional Indian festival celebrated on the full moon day in the Hindu month of Ashadh (July 29.) It is a sacred occasion for disciples to offer heartfelt homage to their revered Guru. The service will include a short introduction on the traditional significance of Guru Purnima, followed by an hour-long chanting session where we will offer our "roses" of devotion and gratitude in the form of chants, to our own beloved Gurudeva, Paramahansa Yogananda, and will conclude with a short meditation, tuning into the Guru's presence.
If you plan to attend, please be seated in the chapel by 12:25 pm. This service is 1 hour and 30 minutes long. You are welcome to leave early if needed.
