Los Gatos Center Announcements – May 23, 2013

The next monastic visit for the Los Gatos Center will be on the weekend of June 1st and 2nd. Bro. Achalananda and Br. Girish will be conducting the activities and meditation services on both days. Please see the flier for about the monastic weekend on the home page of the Los Gatos Center's website: www.losgatoscenter.com.

On Saturday, June 1st, a volunteer appreciation event will take place at 10 a.m. followed by lunch and a talk after lunch. On Saturday evening, the monks will lead a meditation service from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. starting with the practice of the Energization Exercises.

Volunteers are needed to help out with the volunteer appreciation lunch on Saturday and with the catered lunch on Sunday. Please sign the sheet on the bulletin board downstairs or contact Surbhi Bhaskar: <suta...@yahoo.com>.

On Sunday, June 2nd, the monks will lead the regularly scheduled Sunday morning services. All are invited to stay afterward for a catered vegetarian lunch and fellowship with the monks. Again help will be needed with setting up and serving this lunch plus cleaning up afterward. Please contact Surbhi <suta...@yahoo.com> if you are able to volunteer some time.

If you are interested in attending this year’s Center Representatives Conference on the Saturday prior to the start of Convocation Week in Los Angeles, please sign the sheet on the bulletin board downstairs.

Have you ever wanted to read Paramahansa Yogananda’s commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita, God Talks With Arjuna? Doing so with others in a small group can be the most intuitive way to understand the words of Krishna. Starting June 9th we will start reading Master's commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita every Sunday morning from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. before the 10:00 a.m. meditation service. Extra books are available, and all are welcome whether you come only once or frequently.

There is one service reader opening for this new Gita meditation group. Please contact Sue Leeder for more information <suel...@gmail.com>.

On Sunday, May 26th, there will be a long meditation with periods of chanting starting at 2:00 p.m. with the practice of the Energization Exercises. This meditation concludes at 8:00 p.m.

The book room, located downstairs at the Center, is open on Sundays from 12 noon to 12:30 p.m.
