Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 A reminder that the Festival of Lights (Diwali) will be celebrated this coming Sat.

The program includes a multi media drama (Dracula Gets A Gita), Indian classical (Bharat Natyam) and folk (Garba) dancing, a Vedic Fire sacrifice (Agni Hotra), a service giving respect to a live cow (Go-Puja), and a vegetarian food extravaganza. The gift store will be well stocked for the event, with new shipments of statuary and deities, hand carved wooden screens and tables, Om and Ganesh imprinted tapestries and bed spreads, as well as ladies¹ and gents¹ clothes etc. We have this week started a moderated by Caru Das, who posts several times a week the happenings at the temple in sometimes humorous detail. There are also sections for photos and a calendar of up coming events. It is a good way to get more in touch.
