A
family that prays together – stays together!
This program is directed toward middle school and high school students.
Please call Pradip Sagdeo, 324-7641 to for more information.
The
Family Prayer is just that: families coming to IACCT at least once a week to
pray together and to listen to selections from our vast religious and spiritual
literature: Scriptures, Upanishads, Ramayana and Mahabharata..
We hold discourses on Bhagvadgeeta, about our cultural and religious
heritage, about our Hindu religion and how to practice it in America.
The
Family Prayer is held at 11:00 a.m. – 11:30 am
every Sunday, except for long weekends.
The
Family Prayer
starts with the chanting of Om three times, Gayatri Mantra ten times, a few
prayer shlokas and meditation.
This is followed by a reading or a discourse on the topic chosen by the
speaker. Many
of these readings discourses are by middle and high school students born and
brought up here.
One of them described the Family Prayer as the meeting where we go to
learn about our religion.
The
Family Prayer is an excellent opportunity for all Hindu people in our area to
share their own knowledge and understanding of our religion, our traditions, our
mythology, our epics and the vast treasure of profound spirituality our Rishis
left for the humanity to understand and appreciate.
