Mother’s Day is a celebration of honouring mothers and motherhood and is observed across the world with enthusiasm and verve. The day is celebrated to acknowledge and honour the sacrifices a mother makes during the course of her life to ensure absolute well-being and development of her children. Throughout the world, children exhibit their respect and affection by pampering their mother with gifts, giving flowers, having dinner and spending the whole day with her.
Vishnu Sahasranama (Sanskrit: विष्णुसहस्रनाम, IAST: Viṣṇusahasranāma), is a Sanskrit hymn which contains a list of 1,000 names of Vishnu, one of the main deities in Hinduism and the supreme God in Vaishnavism. It is one of the most sacred and popular stotras in Hinduism.
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)
