"Sadhana Bhatti" Program - (May 27 - 29, 2017) starting at 7.00 AM Everyday
In keeping with the tradition of the past 2 years, JCSC is again pleased to announce a "Sadhana Bhatti" Program over the Memorial Day weekend presented by Shrimad Rajchandra Mission, Dharampur, Los Angeles Center, in the Aradhana Hall during Saturday, May 27th to Monday, May 29th from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM everyday. This is a powerful program which initiates a seeker into meditation. Just as fire purifies gold, seekers too are purified in the fire of meditation.The program includes morning and evening prayers, yoga, meditation, introspection, jaap and Shri Rakeshbhai's discourse videos.To get the most benefit, it is preferred to observe maun for 72 hours and attend the program for all three days. However, if that is not possible, you may choose to attend one or two days and must observe maun for a minimum of 12 hours during the program sessions.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be provided each day at no charge.
All participants are requested to:
- Be on time.
- Attend all sessions during the day.
- Observe Maun for a minimum of 12 hours during the daily sessions.
- Wear white clothes.
- Bring your Samayik kit if you plan to do Samayik.
- Bring Meditation chair, if needed.
The schedule for each day will be provided shortly. Please fill out the RSVP form by Wednesday, May 24 using the following link: http://goo.gl/UNkJWu Please contact Dilipbhai Parekh at 310-721-5947 for any further information and questions | | Wellness Challenge - Eat Breakfast Every Day | | For the upcoming weekly challenge, we are challenging the participants to "eat breakfast every day." Roll your eyes if you like, but the old bromide about breakfast being the most important meal of the day is true. Breakfast eaters tend to have better diets overall, consuming more fruit, vegetables, milk, and whole grains than non-breakfast eaters. And because the time between dinner and the next morning’s meal is the longest your body goes without food, breakfast has an effect on you that’s different from any other meal.
