Announcement - January 2025

Dear Friends and Devotees,

We send our prayers for a happy, healthy, and blessed New Year for all. The month of January starts with our New Year's Eve celebration on December 31st. We gather in the shrine room at 11 pm for a reading from the Great Master regarding the events of January 1, 1886 when Sri Ramakrishna became the Kalpataru, the Wish-fulfilling Tree. This is followed by silent meditation until midnight, and then we welcome in the New Year with Midnight Arati. The following morning, January 1, we will have Puja in honor of Sri Ramakrishna beginning at 11 am. We will also have a special Sarod concert on Saturday night, January 11 at 7:30pm featuring Puspen Dey on Sarod and Abhay Kulkarni on Tabla. And on January 26, we will have Puja in honor of the Birthday of Swami Vivekananda. Ramnam Sankirtan will be held on Saturday night, January 4, 7:30 pm.

All other classes and lectures will be as usual. All are invited to attend in person, but for those unable to come to the center, all classes and lectures will be available via YouTube or Zoom.
