Event Painting: Resurrection Appearance to the Fishermen - Painting by Indian Artist Frank WesleyDear Friends,
Yeshu Satsang will take place on Sunday, April 27th at Church of the Redeemer, 162 Bloor St. W, Toronto, ON, M5S 1M4. Doors will open at 5:40 pm with sitar and harmonium prelude music, and the satsang will begin at 6 pm. Please note that this is one hour earlier than our usual time. As we have done in the past during Easter season, we will share the Maha Prasad ceremony, breaking a coconut in memory of Christ's death. If you have not experienced this before, you can watch the ceremony in the video for the song Yeshu Raja at the link below. Miranda, Luke, and I filmed this video during the pandemic when we were unable to meet everyone in person for the Good Friday satsang in 2020.
The satsang will take place during the regular Sunday evening service of the Church of the Redeemer. This is the second time that the director of music, Dan Norman, has graciously offered us the entire service to lead in the same way we conduct our regular satsangs. We are very grateful to him and to Redeemer for extending this opportunity once again. It was a lovely experience last time, in 2023, and we are excited for the opportunity to do this once more.
Please plan to come to the satsang by public transport as there is no parking at Church of the Redeemer. The church is situated in the heart of the city across the street from the Royal Ontario Museum on Bloor St. If you do need to drive, parking is available in parking garages on Cumberland St, which is a small street off of Avenue Rd just north of the church. There are also parking garages on Bloor St, both west and east of the church which involve a slightly longer walk. There is also cheaper street parking yet further away in the neighbourhoods near St. George's subway station.
We look forward to seeing many of you there, and we are excited to meet some new friends at the Church of the Redeemer!
Warmly,
Chris and Miranda

In India, Yeshu is Hindi for “Jesus.” Satsang means “gathering of the truth.” Typically, satsangs in India are gatherings of people who worship together, often using devotional songs called bhajans and kirtans. You are invited to join us in worshiping Jesus in an Indian way. We’ll be sitting on the floor, with incense, flowers and oil lamps, surrounded by the sounds of sitar, tabla, and other Indian and western instruments. The song books provided are in Hindi (with English translations) written so that you can join in. Fruit and Indian sweets (prasad) will be served afterward.
