AWGP SANSKAR WORKSHOP April 29 th Sunday 11.00 to 01.00 PM Celebration of Sanskar Ceremony Main Temple The celebration of Sanskar Ceremony The ancient Indian rishis were scientists of spirituality, consciousness, and Nature. Their acumen into the deepest depth of human mind had enabled them to develop a perfect science of systematic refinement and escalation of intrinsic faith and inherent tendencies of the human self. They had developed the system of shodash sanskaras sixteen sacraments. The combination of powerful mantras and procedures of yagya associated with each of these rituals had resulted from longterm dedicated research conducted by the rishis. Gayatri Pariwar (www.awgp.us) collaborates with Fremont temple (www.fremonttemple.org)0 to offer workshops of Sanskar celebrations. The workshops are held every 4th Sunday of the month at the Fremont Temple from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM

Know more: http://www.awgp.org/spiritual_wisdom/sacramental_rites/janma_divas_sanskar Vidyarambha Sanskar :- To initiate development of mind and install intellectual competence in the child.this sanskar is performed at the age when a child starts initial schooling- generally between 4-6 years. The Vidhyarambha sanskar is indeed the righteous initiation of knowledge. It is performed to initiate development of mind and to instill intellectual competence in a child. School and College teaching may make a child 'learned' and help attain material prosperity, but true knowledge comes through the arousal and training of the sentimental core, righteous orientation of thoughts and appraisal and aspiration of the divine purpose of life. Attainment of Vidhya meets these objectives in a natural way. Marriage Anniversary (Vivah Divas Sanskar ):- Ceremony to celebrate the day of marriage - Self introspection about one's marital responsibilities - its attainment and discharge. It is a very important sanskar for today's world. It is like renewing the marriage - recall the promises and commitment made to each other in front of fire during marriage.

BENGALI NEW YEAR POOJA SATURDAY 1PM-4PM 4/14/18 SARASWATHI HALL Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti Jagadguru Sri Adi Sankaracharya was the greatest exponent of the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta and a savior of Vedic Dharma. Salutations to Sankara, who is an ever shining star on the sky of Indian philosophy. The existence of Vedic Dharma in India today is due to Sankara. The forces opposed to Vedic religion were more numerous and powerful at the time of Sankara than they are today. Still, singlehanded, within a very short time, Sankara overpowered them all and restored the Vedic Dharma and Advaita Vedanta to its pristine purity in the land pure knowledge and spirituality.
