Guru Purnima is the celebration of the Guru, or spiritual teacher. On this day we will honor our Gurus, Swami Sivananda and Swami Vishnudevananda, with sacred chanting of their names, stories of their lives, and a special Guru puja ceremony to honor the traditions and lineage they uphold. This is a very auspicious ritual to commemorate the memory of the great spiritual teachers.
Additional Information:
Satsangs begin with 30 minutes of silent meditation and 15 minutes of chanting.
