Chinmaya Mission Fairfield-New Haven

Ashram Inauguration 2014

Om Sri Saraswatyai Namaha

Hari Om:

We are happy to update you on the inauguration of the Chinmaya Saraswati Ashram. The celebrations will span from Thursday, July 3 to Sunday, July 6 with the kumbhabhishekam and pratishtapana under the auspices of Swami Tejomayananda, head of Chinmaya Mission, Mumbai, India. Thanks to volunteers, there will be prasadam and food (lunch/dinner) after each event; there will also be breakfast on July 6. Please see the program details in the flyer and a summary is below.

There were several volunteers at the ashram this weekend to help with the cleanup on “Shramadaan Day.” We thank all of them for their time and effort. Most of the construction is complete and the main outstanding item is the testing of the sprinkler system, next week; following that we expect to get the certificate of occupancy.

 

The filled books of Likhita Japa should be returned to the ashram by end of June.  You can mail or drop off the books at the ashram (393 Derby Avenue, Orange, CT 06477) or bring them over by Jul 3.  

 

While Chinmaya Saraswati Ashram is intended for spiritual learning and practice, the Saraswati Mata Shrine will serve as a place of worship. The Likitha Japa books will go under the Saraswati Moorty.  All your prayers and good wishes through the Likitha Japa will enhance the power of the deity to bless one and all.

 

With Prem& OM
