First Wednesday of the month, 7:30 - 9:30 p.m.
Sadhana Sangha is the Young Adults group for men and women at Hollywood Temple comprised of SRF Kriyabans, Lessons Students and friends. Sadhana Sangha is a Sanskrit name meaning, “a group centered around the Guru’s liberating truths, and techniques of meditation.” The purpose of the group is to come together on a monthly basis in spiritual fellowship to discuss the application of Master’s teachings in daily life, creating a place to support each others' spiritual growth.
We meet with an SRF monastic in India Hall on the first Wednesday of the month, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The evening begins with a prayer, devotional chanting and silent meditation. We then share in-depth insights regarding applying Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings in our daily lives. This is followed by light refreshments. Additionally, we periodically gather for picnics and informal kirtan meditations outdoors.
All between the ages of 20 and 40 are welcome to attend. Please see the Calendar for details about our meeting this month.
