Saturday Night Meditations with Special Swamiji Darshan
A rare opportunity to see Swamiji in person.

Saturday from 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM EDT

Join us for a Meditation at Swamiji's Ashram, preceded by a 30-minute Pranayama class from 4:45 PM - 5:15 PM and followed by Live Darshan/Blessing by Swami Ji.

We will meditate as a community, being guided by one of Swamiji's most powerful meditation sessions (pre-recorded.)

Please abide by the following guidelines:

• Please be respectful of neighbors when coming in and out of the Ashram
• Outside the Ashram gate and in the Jyoti parking lot will be a wonderful place to catch up with fellow devotees.
• The Ashram gate will be opened at 5:15 pm. To avoid interruption during meditation, gates close at 5:30 pm.
• In order to create a reverent atmosphere, please practice Mouna (silence) while inside Swamiji’s Ashram grounds.
• Turn off cell phones before entering the Satsanga Hall.
• For Swamiji’s protection (and yours) N95 masks are required while indoors.
• Walking around the Ashram garden is not permitted until further notice.
