Mid Autumn Festival




On this auspicious day (24th September or the 15th day of the 8th moon of the Chinese lunar calendar), we held prayers at the Centre in the evening, beginning with Omkar followed by chanting of the Sai Gayatri  and meditation. After prayers, we all got together to enjoy tea, homemade mooncakes and other light snacks. In Chinese culture this festival is an occasion for reunion with family and friends and mooncakes symbolize completeness and togetherness.
