Open Prayer

Open Prayer happens Tuesdays and Saturdays, from 6:00 p.m – 8:00 p.m.

Aarti is at 7:45 p.m

Shanthi Mandir will be open for devotees to meditate, offer their prayers, and participate in the aarti on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 6:00 p.m – 8:00 p.m and aarti at 7:45 p.m. We will have CDs of Bhajans and other devotional songs handy that can be played during prayer times. Please help us volunteering to keep the Mandir open at these times. If there is interest in this type of open prayer time, and we receive adequate volunteer support to keep the Mandir open, we will consider longer and more frequent access to the Mandir.

Quote of the month

At the end of life,

What really matters is not what we bought but what we built; not what we got but what we shared; not our competence but our character; and not our success, but our significance.

Live a life that matters.

Live a life of Love
