The Universal Shaiva Fellowship is happy to announce the Mahasamadhi Celebration of our beloved Gurudev Swami Lakshmanjoo. This grand occasion will take place on the 9th, of September 2017, at 10:30 am.
Swamiji left his physical frame twenty-three years ago in India, on September 27, 1991. Since that time, each year we joyously celebrate his Divine life and remember him by performing a traditional “Havan” or “Fire Ceremony” along with worship and the recitation of sacred hymns.
HAVAN (Fire Ceremony):
Swamiji’s Mahasamadhi Havan will begin at 10:30 am at our Culver City Center (10925 Stever St, Culver City, CA 90230) and will last approximately for 1 ½ hours. The prashad (food spiritually blessed by the Master), consisting of very tasty vegetarian Kashmiri preparations and sweets will be served afterwards.
If you would like to join us via live webcam streaming during the event please register here.
There is no charge for attending the Mahasamadhi celebration, but we would appreciate a donation to help cover the ceremonial expenses.
As usual there is always much preparation to be done for this auspicious event. If you would like to help in any way please call Denise Hughes at (310) 837-0402 (Toll free 1 877-594-2516).
RETREAT:
On the four days following the Havan, September 10th, thru the 13th, the Fellowship will hold its bi-annual four-day retreat at the Culver City Center.
Location: Universal Shaiva Fellowship Center10925 Stever Street, Culver City, CA 90230 (310) 837-0402.
