2021-Calendar.Pdf When the light comes, darkness has to disappear. The Age of Enlightenment and the age of ignorance are like light and darkness, and the rules guiding life in these two ages are as different as those available in light and darkness. That is why we can expect great changes in all areas of society. ~ World Government News, August 1978 Maharishi Purusha Program Radiating Peace and Enlightenment to the Whole World 20212021 JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH S M T W T F S S M T W T F S S M T W T F S 1 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 28 28 29 30 31 31 12th: Chinese New Year • 15th: Presidents’ Day 11th: Maha Shivaratri: Night of Shiva 1st: New Year’s Day • 10th: Birthday of Maharaj Adhiraj 16th: Vasant Panchami: Day of Saraswati ‡ 14th: Daylight Saving Time begins Rajaraam • 12th: First Day of 14th Year of Invincibility – 26th: Purim • 27th: Full Moon 3:17 EST 20th: Vernal Equinox, 5:37 EDT Global Raam Raj • 14th: Makara Sankranti 28th: Full Moon 14:48 EDT 18th: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day • 28th: Full Moon ‡ Dates of Vedic observances are given for India.

  • Akshaya Tritiya Special Puja
    Hindu Temple & Cultural Center of WI American Hindu Association 2138 South Fish Hatchery Road, Fitchburg, WI 53575 AHA Shiva Vishnu Temple Akshaya Tritiya Special Puja & Lalitha Sahasranamam Recital May 2, 2014 ~ Friday-6:30pm to 8pm Goddess Maha Lakshmi & Lord Kubera Abishekam & Puja SPONSORSHIP: $108 for the 1g Laxmi* gold coin Puja conducted by Priest Madhavan Bhattar Venue: 2138 South Fish Hatchery Rd, Fitchburg, WI 53575 Prasad will be served at the temple Akshaya Trithiya : Akshaya (meaning Never-Ending, or that which never diminishes) Trithiya (the Third Day of Shuklapaksha(Waxing Moon)) in the Vishaka Month is regarded as the day of eternal success. The Sun and Moon are both in exalted position, or simultaneous at their peak of brightness, on this day, which occurs only once every year. This day is widely celebrated as Parusurama Jayanthi, in honor of Parusurama – the sixth incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu. Lord Kubera, who is the keeper of wealth for Goddess Maha Lakshmi, is said to himself pray to the Goddess on this day. Lord maha Vishnu and his Avatars, Goddess Maha Lakshmi and Lord Kubera are worshipped on Akshaya Trithiya Day. Veda vyasa began composing Mahabharatha on this day. Since Divine Mother Goddess Maha Lakshmi is intensely and actively manifest and due to the mystical nature of our Temple, all Pirthurs(all our ancestors’ subtle and causal bodies) congregate at our Temple. All these Ethereal beings are pleased and will gain higher cosmic energy when we offer pujas on their behalf. Pitru Tarpanam can be done on any day of the year depending on the day one’s ancestors passed away, but performing it during Mahalaya Amavasya and Akshaya Trithiya will multifold benefits.

  • Adi Sankaracharya's VIVEKACHUDAMANI
    Adi Sankaracharya's VIVEKACHUDAMANI Translated by Swami Madhavananda Published by Advaita Ashram, Kolkatta 1. I bow to Govinda, whose nature is Bliss Supreme, who is the Sadguru, who can be known only from the import of all Vedanta, and who is beyond the reach of speech and mind. 2. For all beings a human birth is difficult to obtain, more so is a male body; rarer than that is Brahmanahood; rarer still is the attachment to the path of Vedic religion; higher than this is erudition in the scriptures; discrimination between the Self and not-Self, Realisation, and continuing in a state of identity with Brahman – these come next in order. (This kind of) Mukti (Liberation) is not to be attained except through the well- earned merits of a hundred crore of births. 3. These are three things which are rare indeed and are due to the grace of God – namely, a human birth, the longing for Liberation, and the protecting care of a perfected sage. 4. The man who, having by some means obtained a human birth, with a male body and mastery of the Vedas to boot, is foolish enough not to exert himself for self-liberation, verily commits suicide, for he kills himself by clinging to things unreal. 5. What greater fool is there than the man who having obtained a rare human body, and a masculine body too, neglects to achieve the real end of this life ? 6. Let people quote the Scriptures and sacrifice to the gods, let them perform rituals and worship the deities, but there is no Liberation without the realisation of one’s identity with the Atman, no, not even in the lifetime of a hundred Brahmas put together.

Cheary San Francisco, CA 94121 Public Affairs Director Phone: (415) 750-2250 Mobile: (415) 760-8449 Email: [email protected] For Immediate Release NEWS RELEASE San Francisco VA Partners with Purusha Yoga to Offer Free Yoga Classes for Veterans SAN FRANCISCO – April 19, 2016 – The San Francisco VA Health Care System (SFVAHCS) Strength and Wellness program for Veterans has teamed up with Purusha Yoga, 3729 Balboa Street in San Francisco, to create a new and innovative program benefitting Veterans. Veterans enrolled in VA health care who receive a referral and medical clearance from their VA provider are participating in an 8-week yoga class focusing on yoga techniques and practices that alleviate stress and PTSD symptoms as well as improving strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, focus, and mental well-being. “What sets this program apart is, it’s the first time our Veteran patients have had an opportunity to practice yoga in the community at a yoga studio as part of their clinical care,” says SFVAHCS Strength and Wellness coordinator Chris Geronimo. “We’ve taken a VA program to where our Veterans are, which is in their community.” MORE San Francisco VA Partners with Purusha Studio -2-2-2 “This program is yoga therapy,” says Joy Ravelli, owner and director of Purusha Yoga and founder of the Purusha Seva Project. “It’s using yoga practices as a therapeutic tool to alleviate obstacles and suffering from any variety of diseases, and to be used for lifestyle coaching to help people make healthy choices with their life.” “Purusha is the Sanskrit term for the true self,” says Ravelli.
