QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 15 Verse 5

One who is free from illusion, false prestige, and false association, who understands the eternal, who is done with material lust and is freed from the duality of happiness and distress, and who knows how to surrender unto the Supreme Person, attains to that eternal kingdom.

Join HSC/YJA Board for our Last Sunday Puja of the year!

Join us for HSC/YJA Puja if you have time for some refreshing prayer and meditation. 

"My first time attending Sunday puja was a welcome reminder of home for me. The quiet atmosphere was not a time to let my mind wander, but a time to refocus and rejuvenate."

-S. Patel, Penn Sophomore
