SUMMARY:Krishna Janmastami Puja
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINE \nWe observe Kṛṣṇa Janmāṣṭamī (Lord Krishna’s birthday) today. Originally\, in Vṛndāvana\, all the cowherd women and men were invited to participate\, and they arrived in jubilation. A band played for the enjoyment of the assembled people. Brāhmaṇas chanted Vedic hymns for the good fortune of Kṛṣṇa. During the chanting\, Kṛṣṇa was bathed. This bathing ceremony is technically called abhiṣeka\, and even today this is observed in all the temples of Vṛndāvana as Janmāṣṭamī Day\, or the birthday anniversary of Lord Kṛṣṇa.  \nStory of Krishna’s Birth\nKrishna was born to Devaki and Vasudeva at midnight in a dungeon in Mathura. Miraculously\, Vasudeva was able to carry the baby out of the dungeon\, make his way to Vrindavan\, switch Krishna for a baby girl born to Yashoda and Nanda and return to the dungeon unnoticed—to save the child from the wrath of Kamsa. When Kamsa heard the baby’s cries he feared for his life. He rushed in to kill the baby\, but the baby flew into the air in the form of the demigoddess Maya and told Kamsa that the child had been born elsewhere and that he would be unable to kill him. \nDonations of flowers\, sweets\, fruits or dakshina are welcome. \nOnline participants: We will be on our regular Satsang Zoom link: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/99199972563?pwd=bzFGZHRlRVpzcDNQbG9rM0tSSXBPUT09 \nYou can also prepare your own offerings of flowers and prasad and participate from home.  \n \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *I will attend the Ganesha Chaturti Puja *in persononlineDonation ($20 suggested)Please fill in the amount you'd like to donate.Comment or MessageTotal$0.00NameSubmit

SUMMARY:Swami Sivananda Birthday Puja
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR VIA ZOOMOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link the evening before the puja. \nA revered saint of modern times Swami Sivananda is the inspiration behind the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres. Born in south India in 1887\, he served for many years as a medical doctor before renouncing worldly life and establishing an ashram in Rishikesh\, north India in 1932. \nHis mission was to serve humanity through yoga and in 1936 founded the Divine Life Society. He developed the Yoga of Synthesis\, an amalgamation of the Four Paths of Yoga that he summarised as: “Serve\, love\, give\, purify\, meditate\, realize.”  He is the author of more than 300 books on all aspects of yoga providing spiritual guidance to millions around the world. Though he never left his native India his teachings quickly spread internationally\, leaving a legacy of love\, peace and knowledge still unfolding today. \nWe honor his generous spirit and sincere love for all. We will tell stories from his life and read from his copious writings\, as well as perform a Bhakti Yoga ritual to invoke his blessings. \nYou are welcome to prepare your own offerings of flowers and prasad at home.  \n \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *I will attend the puja *in persononlineDonation *Price: $25.00Additional DonationComment or MessageTotal$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit
