Goddess Kuan Yin's Birthday

We celebrated the birthday of Goddess Guanyin on the evening of Sunday, 27th March with Guanyin bhajans and recitation of Buddhist and Tibetan mantras.

"Suffering beings are numberless,

I vow to liberate them all.

Attachment is inexhaustible,

I vow to release it all.

The gates to truth are numberless,

I vow to master them all.

The ways of awakening are supreme,

I vow to realize them all."

~ Bodhisattva Vow ~

Maha Shivarathri

We observed the holy festival of Maha Shivarathri on the evening of 7th March with bhajans and prayers beginning at 8 p.m..and concluding at 11 p.m.

“The lesson of Shivarathri is that devotees should foster good and sacred thoughts. They should be filled with godly thoughts. They should seek to become one with the Divine by reflecting on their inherent divinity. If you constantly chant the name of God, God realization will come in due course."

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
