Agenda

🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:30 PM
Kirtan & Dance in temple room

Info: Get your dance on or just absorb yourself in the sacred space and atmosphere. The Darshan Room starts off in the temple room with the broader temple community with kirtan (mantra meditational chants & dance) and devotional dance. It is a powerful way to bring mind out of the busyness of NYC and enter the sacred atmosphere by engaging the mind, voice, and body.

🕑: 06:30 PM - 08:00 PM
The Darshan Room - Meditative kirtan & discourse held in Lotus Room downstairs

Info: We have a variety of kirtan singers and guest educators who lead the wisdom talks. We conclude with a delicious and sacred vegetarian dinner that we serve to you.
