Puja in Honor of the Jalasamadhi of Swami Vishnudevananda

Although teaching yoga was the central theme of his life, Swamiji felt the need to take more direct action. And this is where the peace plane arrives on the scene. It was painted by the American artist Peter Max. Swamiji called it the “Plane of Hope” and with it, he wanted to break the manmade boundaries that separate people from people and country from country. His only defense was a pocketful of marigold flowers. He even flew on a self-made Planet Earth Passport. His goal was to bring unity in diversity using Yogic discipline and Yogic life. “My mission was, as much as possible, to reduce the negative influence on human society by positive suggestions and a positive way of life.”
We honor the wisdom, generosity and love we receive through our lineage of teachers and perform a Puja (Bhakti Yoga ritual), to invoke their blessings. All are welcome to attend.
If participating from home, you are welcome to prepare your own offerings of flowers and prasad at home.
