Saturday Satsang & Sarva Amriteshwari Puja: in-person
Feb 1, 2025 5:30pm-8:00pm
On Saturday evenings, our community comes together for satsang (spiritual talk), chanting and bhajans and to connect informally with old and new friends. All are welcome to join us on Saturdays, an RSVP or pre-registration is not required to attend the program. For dinner, please RSVP using the link below.
A special Sarva Amriteswari Puja will be performed by Pujarini Vaju during this Saturday program. All are welcome to attend.
Amriteshwari (Goddess of Immortality) symbolizes the Divine Mother as the source of eternal bliss, and spiritual liberation. In the context of Amma, Amriteshwari reflects her divine love and compassion, guiding devotees toward enlightenment. This puja ceremony honors our divine mother Amma by invoking her on a 'Vilakku Deepam' (flame of a lamp), symbolizing her presence, and praying for her blessings to bestow prosperity, harmony, and spiritual upliftment. In essence, Amriteshwari represents eternal life, divine grace, and spiritual transcendence.
Registration is available for a sankalpa (spiritual resolve) to be made on your behalf, or for a loved one, during the puja. Register here

The road continues on the right next to the temple gate, then curves left up the hill to the Main House. The puja room is just inside the front door to the house.
