Seva is a bhava (feeling) and to think-practice-live this, we must be trained in this.
Inviting all past, present, and future volunteers to our Annual Seva Training, where we will reflect on and deepen our understanding of how to serve with seekers, for seekers!

During the period of kali, all moves fast! The body is restless, the mind is often negative and the intellect seeks happiness externally. In efforts to evolve from being extroverted (dependently joyous) to being introverted (independently joyous), 25 seekers will meet physically (for the first time in 4 years!) in Chinmaya Gayatri (Cleveland-Ohio) and virtually via zoom from Sep 28 - Oct 1 to be in SILENCE for 72 hours.

Rise with the Rishikas
They were poetesses, philosophers, devotees, singers, teachers, yoginis, while they were daughters, wives and revered as incarnations of the Divine Mother - living in our midst through Vedic, medieval and modern times.
Let us Rise with the Rishikas (women seers) in our monthly Devi Sanga forums and learn from their lives, legends and legacy to know the Rishika in us.
Every Second Sunday of the month starting Jul, 2023
9p - 10p ET

More materials = more comfort = more happiness.
WRONG❗ Buying into this idea only conditions us to spend more of our lives on more stuff for LESS security.
Our scriptures reveal that contentment is actually found in the sacrifice of our comforts. 🔥 To live this vision requires dedication and determination.
Join our CommUnity in the CHALLENGE to be deeper. Nature keeps sacrificing comfort for us… Are you ready to sacrifice yourself by Dedicating to Devi? 🌎

Over the past 2 years, the Mentorship Program has nurtured trusted relationships and learning between like-minded seekers in the spirit of evolution. In its second year, the program brought together 150 seekers from over 90 cities! Entering its third year, the program, now called the Mentorship Sanga, is accepting applications for BOTH mentors (29-45) and mentees (15-28) for this year's cohort! As one mentee shared, "It feels like having an older sibling or an objective view to help me with what I'm going through."
⭐️ Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, with priority given to applications submitted by January 23.

A Mother's Love keeps on giving and giving...
The ungrateful's life keeps on taking and taking...
Our CommUnity IS Grateful and has expressed this feeling through Generosity, by raising over 100,000 dollars in under 100 days for our Universal Mother! 💚
At some point in our lives, we might wonder... Is there more to living and life?
Some of us may also inquire... Who am I?
Through our sincere pursuit of such Truths, the Sadguru-shishya-parampara comes into our lives and compassionately reveals the answers to our deepest questions. In Vedantic tradition, such Guidance is given freely and such an experience is priceless.
Still, out of gratitude and fulfillment, the student seeks to give back. 🧡 Guru Dakshina is an opportunity for us to offer our gratitude for the dedication-sacrifice-expression of our Guides.
Please donate generously to support the causes of our Guru-shishya-parampara.
There is immense suffering in Ukraine. We can help in some small measure by supporting the efforts to provide hot meals, bread, and fruits to refugees in Hungary.
Let us come together to help those in need however we can. 🕊️
How to help our children discover their best? How to manage kids, work, and life? How to endure the challenges of being a parent? How to stay sane even when it feels like there is non-stop chaos?
Join Parenting Culture aimed at responding to these challenges with a fresh perspective. Together, we will gather to find inspiration🌅, share reflections🗣, and discuss questions🙋🏽.
Together, we will gather as part of a unique community to help navigate the challenges of life as a parent 👨👩👧👦👶🏽🤰🏽🍼.
