Out of consideration for others, we ask that you please attend this service outside if you have a cough or feel in any way you might be coming down with a cold or flu. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Please note that the Hermitage will be closed today. If you are from out of town, please contact the Ashram Visitors Center Office.

All are welcome to celebrate our Guru’s homeland on Saturday, August 17, from 5:30 – 9:30 p.m., on the Encinitas Ashram Grounds. Our theme this year is “India: Land of Enchantment.”  From 5:30 until 7:00 p.m., you may enjoy divine fellowship while dining on an authentic Indian meal. Parents and children can have fun together with India-themed instruments and art activities, in a family-friendly area on the Lotus Tower Lawn. 

On the main stage at 7:30 p.m., our program will begin with a prayer and introductory remarks from our minister. This will be followed by an entertaining and inspiring play, BalaKrishna: The Playful Heart, based on stories about Lord Krishna’s childhood. You will then have the opportunity to participate in kirtan performed by Self-Realization Fellowship monks. This enchanted evening will close with a showing of the Lake Shrine Dedication film.

India Night tickets for both adults and children, ages 12 and under, are available after the service at the ticket table and the Temple Bookroom. You may also purchase tickets online at www.encinitastemple.org.

Join us for a joyful evening!

For India Night to be successful, much help is needed in many different areas. If you are able to help, please sign up at the India Night volunteer table. Patio signups will be offered today and next Sunday only. Your assistance in preparing for this festive event, honoring our Guru’s homeland, is greatly appreciated.
