Tuesday Vedanta Class

Our Tuesday evening Vedanta Class resumes on September 20. Each year, Swami Tadatmananda chooses a text that explores the vision of the ancient rishis in a profound manner.
This year, Swamiji has chosen to teach several short upanishads, including the Isha Upanishad, Kaivalya Upanishad, Mandukya Upanishad, and others if time permits before this class concludes in spring.
Each class starts at 7:30 PM with a brief meditation (please come on time - no entry during meditation). An optional Q&A session is held at 7:15 PM. All are welcome to attend.

Beginning Sanskrit Class (Click here to download the course materials of this class every week)

After a gap of several years, Swami Tadatmananda will again teach an introductory-level Sanskrit class beginning on September 22. This class will introduce the basics of grammar and gradually prepare students to read Sanskrit texts with comprehension.
No prior knowledge of the language is required, but consistent attendance and completion of homework will be necessary. All are welcome to attend.

Sunday Children’s Class

After the usual summer hiatus, our classes for children will resume on the first and third Sunday of each month, beginning September 18. Each class will begin with prayers chanted in Sanskrit and English, followed by religion class. Every session will conclude with lively bhajans and arati led by Swamiji.
These classes are held from 11 AM to 12:30 PM. All children are welcome to attend. Children under six must be accompanied by an adult. No registration or fees are required.

Sunday Teenager’s Class

Swami Tadatmananda’s popular classes for teens will resume on the second and fourth Sunday of each month, beginning September 25. Each class will begin with a short session of Vedic chanting, followed by a lecture. The topic for this year’s classes is “Sadhana – Spiritual Practice.” Each class concludes with a group discussion on special topics assigned by Swamiji.
These classes meet from 11 AM to 12:30 PM. Timely, consistent attendance is expected. All teens and mature 12-year-olds are welcome to attend. Parents are invited to attend. No registration or fees are required.
