Hawan Ceremony – Release & Surrender
Tuesday, September 9th FLOW
6pm Doors Open for meditation and chanting as we ground and get our hearts and minds ready for ceremony
6:45pm Ceremony will begin around this time and will be taken place outside
People are welcome to come anytime between 6-6:45 for the ceremony or 8pm for small prasad dinner.
This is a powerful opportunity to release and surrender, placing our desires, burdens, and attachments into the sacred fire. Together we will offer: “Take it, Maharajji. Take it, Hanuman. Take it, All of it. May nothing stand between us and You.”
We are deeply honored that Sadananda and Alakananda Ma from Alandi Ashram, Boulder will be guiding us into Hawan Ceremony (Sacred Fire Ritual).
