-+-| PST Morning Class: Cosmic Puja |-+-

https://www.shreemaa.org/cosmic-puja-book/ – The Samashti Upasana or Cosmic Puja, is the meditation and worship of all the forms of divinity in existence; all the deities of the universe. The action of the greatest merit is to guide one’s awareness into the presence of God and to maintain that presence for as long as possible. Through puja we offer all that we possibly can to God and thereby experience peace. This worship is intended to lead us to that objective.

-+-| PST Evening Class: Sri Bhagavad Gita |-+-

https://www.shreemaa.org/bhagavad-gita-book/ – The Bhagavad Gita comes from the 100,000 verses of the epic Mahabharat. It’s 700 verses are rich with eloquent poetry and woven masterfully with Vedic Philosophy. This translation focuses on the inner struggle of the spiritual aspirant to follow their own chosen ideal of perfection in every moment. There is no other circumstance in which divine knowledge is more appropriate, and no greater teacher than the Supreme Lord Himself.

Best Practices for Satsangha Participants:

We’re very excited and honoured to see our classes steadily increasing in attendance over the last year: a giant Thanks to everyone who has participated! With more friends and family joining us, we ask all attendees to follow a few guidelines to allow for maximum enjoyment & audio clarity:

Please make sure the name you are using has some proximity to who you are. We tend to start getting a lot of “iPads” and “iPhones” that can not only become confusing for other participants, but can prevent other people from getting into the meeting if they have the same name. If the attendee’s name(s) remain in ‘ipad/iphone’ format, you may get removed from the meeting.
While there is time before & after classes for attendees to talk and catch up, please make sure that when Swamiji & Shree Maa are talking, you keep yourself on mute; No one can hear anyone else if the meeting turns into a giant audio feedback loop! Moderators will also be muting accounts during the class to reduce interfering noises.
If you have questions about something in the meeting, please share it in the Devi Mandir public telegram group. It is not that they are being ignored, it is that Swamiji & Shree Maa are not able to see most of the questions send to them as DMs due to screen size. Plus, you’ll find sharing your questions on the Telegram group means others may have had the same question, and you supported another devotee without even knowing it!
