Sadhana Sangha - Young Adults Group for Ages 20-40

First Wednesday of the month, 7:30 - 9:30 p.m.
Picture
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.

Senior Devotee Group - Fourth Sunday of the month, 1:00 - 2:30 p.m.

Hollywood Temple has a Senior devotee group for those 75 and older.   Seniors are welcome to join our monthly meeting held in upper India Hall. Come join us for an afternoon of fellowship.  The meetings involve light refreshment and socialization at the beginning, a topical study of Master’s teachings, and closing with group meditation. The focus of the group is the 4th ashrama, namely, disengaging from worldly pursuits, transcending the challenges of older age, and living in attunement with God and Guru. Please see the Calendar for details about our meeting this month.  If you have any questions or need assistance in getting to the meeting, please contact the Temple at (323) 661-8006.
