Earthing – Enjoy the Nature of the beauty to calm our mind
Swami has reminded us to “Spend your time in the contemplation of the beauties of Nature that are spread out before you in Earth and sky green expanses of the crops you have raised, cool breezes that waft contentment and joy, the panorama of coloured clouds, the music of birds. Nature is the purest hand work of God”.
Father’s Day Prayers & Bhajan organized by the Ladies Wing
The Cooksville Sai Centre Ladies Wing organized Father’s Day prayers to emphasize the importance of honouring fathers and parents.
Nationwide 108 hours continuous Gayatri Mantra Chanting
General meaning: We meditate on that most adored Supreme Lord, the creator, whose effulgence (divine light) illumines all realms (physical, mental and spiritual). May this divine light illumine our intellect.
SSE and Young Adult Service in Honour of Swami’s Mahasamadhi and Honouring Parents and Elders for Mother Easwaramma Celebrations
As part of Swami’s Samadhi Day observance, Toronto East Sai Centre has always done a Centre wide service project where adults and youth make vegetarian pasta or eggless cake and donate the food to a shelter. This year, the devotees wanted SSE students to also do their own service project. Gurus came up with an idea where all the students had to colour brown paper sandwich bags and write an uplifting message on them. The students decorated the bags with creative and colourful artwork.
