WEEKLY PROGRAMS

ORIENTATION FOR NEWCOMERS

A brief introduction to the Siddha Yoga teachings and practices is presented before each Friday evening Satsang program, from 7:00-7:15 p.m. (Please check the monthly calendar for the Satsang schedule.)


TUESDAY PROGRAMS

7:30 to 9:00 p.m.
Twice a month discussion groups on the New Year’s Message in the family room or Amrit, and with the hall being open as a meditation cave for an evening of meditation. The other evenings are devoted entirely to the spiritual practices of chanting and meditation: Swadhyaya (scriptural text chanting); Nama Sankirtana (chanting of the divine name); video chants with Gurumayi, and meditation.


FRIDAY SATSANG PROGRAMS

7:30 to 9:00 p.m. Fridays
Satsang
means "keeping the company of the Truth." These programs include chanting and meditation and may also include readings and speakers sharing their experience of Siddha Yoga.  (Please check the monthly calendar for the Satsang schedule.)


FAMILIES

Parents and children are always welcome at the center. Our beautiful family room provides a comfortable place with art supplies for the children, and is connected to the hall via audio broadcast for all programs. Children may wish to bring their own toys. Children, with parents, are welcome in the hall for the chanting part of the program. Please insure that an adult is always with your children. Once each month a Family Program is held on Sunday mornings.  (Please check the monthly calendar for the schedule.)


THE GURU GITA

The Guru Gita is a beautiful, ancient hymn that honors the Guru and describes the Guru-disciple relationship. This scriptural text chant (swadhyaya) is sung daily in Siddha Yoga Meditation ashrams and many centers around the world. At this center it is sung on Sunday mornings from 8:30-10:10 a.m., followed by a vegetarian brunch. Once each month before the Guru Gita, we sing the Morning Arati and once each month we also sing the Rudram.


GURUSEVA

Guruseva is selfless service. It is an essential Siddha Yoga practice. True Guruseva is work performed with love and without desire for reward. Everything offered at the center happens through selfless service. Guruseva opportunities are always available and you are warmly invited to participate in this life-transforming spiritual practice. Please visit the center for more information.


AMRIT

A delicious vegetarian brunch is available in our Amrit Cafe on Sundays at 10:15 a.m. following the Guru Gita; and a light dinner or desert on most Friday evenings following regular Satsang programs. We hold a Sunday Satsang once a month during brunch in which we reflect and discuss a reading or quote.
