Join us for this special gathering honoring the birthday of our spiritual teacher and founder of Integral Yoga, Swami Satchidananda. The program will be led by our beloved Swami Ramananda, Director of the San Francisco Institute, who studied with Swami Satchidananda for many years.
Swami Ramananda will offer a short reflection on his life and teachings, followed by an opportunity for participants to share how these teachings have touched their own lives. We will also offer a Puja (spiritual service) with chanting and meditation, giving thanks for the wisdom, blessings, and guidance Swami Satchidananda shared with us.
