Next Sunday is a special day. We invite you to join us in commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the Seattle Center at Shoreline. The event, titled “A Hive of Satsanga”, will begin with a Kirtan meditation at 9:30 a.m., followed by a special inspirational program with uplifting music, inspirational readings, a skit, and memoirs from Center members. Please note that the start time for both the meditation and inspirational program is 30 min. earlier than our normal Sunday timings. The program will be followed by a delicious catered lunch at around 12:15 p.m.

This year, the Seattle Center will livestream a special Janmashtami Commemorative Service led by our revered President, Bro. Chidananda, from the SRF International Headquarters on Thursday, September 3rd at 6:30 p.m., enabling us to partake of the blessings together as a group. Following the livestream, we will have a short break and continue with the traditional flower offering and devotional Kirtan at 8 p.m. It is customary to bring a flower and a monetary offering in an envelope as symbols of our devotion and loyalty to Bhagavan Krishna and the line of SRF Gurus. Please note that this Service on September 3rd will be held instead of the originally planned Commemorative Service on Friday, September 4th. 

On Saturday, September 5th, we will have a 6-hour Kirtan meditation in honor of Bhagavan Krishna from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Group Energization Exercises will be held at 9:40 a.m., and there will be a 30-min break at 1 p.m.

The Managing Council is grateful for all the prayers and financial support that have led to us reaching 100% of our fundraising goal. Plans are underway now to begin working with SRF’s Building and Planning department and obtaining approvals to begin the remodel.

The title for today’s video Service is: “Introspection: Exploring the Workings of your Inner Self” by Bro. Ishtananda.
