The annual Hamlin Park Picnic and Potluck will take place today between 12:15 to 2pm at Hamlin Park, which is a short drive from the Center. All are invited for food, fellowship, and games. We hope to see you there! 

On Saturday, August 16, we will celebrate Janmashtami, a Commemorative Service honoring the birth of Bhagavan Krishna. The service will begin at 8 p.m. and will be preceded by a silent meditation from 7 – 7:45 p.m. During the meditation, ushers will allow late arrivals to enter quietly. It is customary to bring a flower and a monetary offering in an envelope as symbols of our devotion and loyalty to Krishna and the lineage of SRF Gurus. All donations from the service are forwarded to Mother Center. 

On Saturday, August 23, we will have a long Kirtan meditation for Bhagavan Krishna from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. There will be a 30 minute break at 1 p.m. and group Energization Exercises at 9:40 a.m. 

On Sunday, August 31, we will host a special Volunteer Appreciation Event following the Sunday service featuring a delicious catered Indian meal with vegan and gluten free options available. All our dear volunteers and those interested in volunteering are welcome to attend. Please RSVP via the Evite invitation on our website by August 10th, or the printed sign up sheet in the social room, to help us with our planning.

The Reading Service for today is: How Devotion Reveals the Invisible God.
