We warmly invite you to join us as we tune into a live-streamed six-hour meditation led by an SRF Monastic in honor of Mahavatar Babaji on Saturday, July 18th at 7:40 AM.
The first half begins with group practice of the SRF Energization Exercises, followed by an opening prayer, inspirational readings, devotional chanting, and periods of silent meditation throughout the day. There will be a thirty-minute intermission starting at 11:00 AM.
If you’re unable to stay for the full six hours, we suggest joining us for the first half of the meditation. We completely understand that this might not always be possible, so please feel free to join us whenever you can! You’re welcome to enter the Chapel during the intermission or anytime there’s a chant.

Special Commemorative Service
