⏰ 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Join us for the beautiful celebrations of Dhanteras, Choti Diwali and Diwali, with Lakshmi Puja, satsang and kirtan! 

Together, let us remember the divine appearance of Maha Lakshmi during the churning of the Cosmic Ocean and welcome Her blessings of abundance, auspiciousness and, above all, Prem.

During this autumn festival, we invite Maha Lakshmi to come into our hearts and homes. We pray to Her to help cleanse our minds of judgement and to show us the way to surrender to the Feet of the Master. With Her blessings, the light of Love in our hearts can be awakened so that it shines brighter in the world.

"On this Diwali, light the inner lamp of Bhakti and Prem so strongly that no wind and rain can extinguish it. Let the Akash Deepam of your life carry you upwards to attain the Lotus Feet of the Satguru and find ultimate bliss. Many blessings to all."
Paramahamsa Vishwananda

We will celebrate Diwali by decorating our main deities as Sita & Rama, performing special puja, welcoming Devi by her footprints into the temple and lots of lights. 

🙏 Join us for an evening filled with devotion and celebration — abhishekam of Maha Lakshmi, joyful kirtan, satsang, prasad.
