SEP 25: INITIATIONS & SUNDAY FEAST LECTURE
It is our language, either spoken or written, that moves and shapes our lives. In fact, all creations, including the creation of our universe, are preceded by language. What then is the power of repeating the Maha-mantra or the Gayatri mantras, which emanate from the spiritual world? There will be a number of devotees taking Harinam initiation from H.G Vaisesika Prabhu on this day.
We cordially welcome to our Sunday feast program this week which includes Kirtan, Krishna Katha, Arotik and delicious prasadam!
