Happy Father’s Day
Father’s Day celebration is observed to honor fathers, father-like figures and paternal bonds around the world. Children and individuals showcase their love and affection to their fathers and present them with gifts and cards.
Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi (The Thread of Sibling Love) is a special occasion to celebrate this “Sibling Love” bonding by tying a holy thread around the wrist. This thread, which pulsates with sisterly love and sublime sentiments, is rightly called the Rakhi since it means “a bond of protection,” and Raksha Bandhan signifies that the strong must protect the weak from all that’s evil.
The ritual is observed on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravan, on which sisters tie the sacred Rakhi string on their brothers’ right wrists, and pray for their long lives. Rakhis are ideally made of silk with gold and silver threads, beautifully crafted embroidered sequins, and studded with semi-precious stones.
Every Sunday, we have SATSANG (Bhajans, kirtans, Kathas etc.)
From 11:30 AM – 01:00 PM followed by Aarti and Prasadam (Lunch)

Shradh or Pitru Paksha is a period when Hindus remember their ancestors by offering prayers. ‘Shradh’ is a way of expressing heartfelt gratitude towards parents who are no more, for having helped them be what they are today. According to scriptures, rituals performed during ‘shradh’ bring peace to the departed.
‘Pitru Paksha’ is the period from ‘Bhadrapada Purnima’ to ‘Sarvapitri Amavasya’. ‘Pitru Paksha’ is considered by Hindus to be inauspicious as the death rites are performed during ‘Shradh’ or ‘Tarpan’. The last day of ‘Pitru Paksha’ is known as ‘Sarvapitri Amavasya’. It is also known as ‘Pitru Amavasya’ or simply ‘Mahalaya’. It is the most significant day of ‘Pitru Paksha’.
