Ongoing:

Ma’s Words – Satsang & Kirtan
with Shambhavi

Second & Fourth Sundays, 2:30 – 4:30pm (begins 3/23) • by donation

Join Shambhavi Sarasvati for Ma's Words, a twice-monthly satsang and kirtan based on the teachings and songs of the great Indian Guru and avatar, Anandamayi Ma. Ma's Words also features a community chai cafe and movies of Ma. Books and photographs will be available for purchase. Ma's Words is by donation.

Anandamayi Ma left no written teachings, but her witty, earthy, precise and profound satsangs were meticulously recorded by disciples. Ma's teachings go beyond any particular creed or dogma. She speaks eloquently and simply about the human condition. Listening to and exploring Anandamayi Ma's words is one way to encounter a direct transmission of the infinite possibilities of human life.

Ma's Words is sponsored by Jaya Kula, a nonprofit community organization grounded in the Indian tradition of Kashmir Shaivism and the teachings of Sat Guru Sri Anandamayi Ma.
