Online and in-person Karthika Observance with Br. Ramanandamrita Chaitanya
A monthly birthday is traditionally observed in India that is based on the moon’s position in addition to the annual birthday observed in the West, which is based on the sun’s position. According to the Indian calendar, Karthika is the nakshatram (star constellation) in which the moon was transiting at the time of Amma’s birth, and so each time the moon returns to this spot in the heavens, approximately every 28 days, it is considered to be Amma’s birthday. This day is dedicated to Amma and is traditionally celebrated by Her children across the globe by doing various spiritual practices.
Br. Ramanandamrita Chaitanya leads the auspicious Karthika Day event at M.A. Center DC. Please join us in offering special prayers for world peace on these occasions.

- Brief Meditation
- 108 Names of Amma
- Amma's Karthika Star Bhajan
