DURGA PUJA at MACC
Durga Puja at MACC
“Púja is ritualistic worship of the Divine performed to keep us in harmony with cosmic forces, thereby removing and overcoming the sorrows of life and bringing spiritual upliftment. By doing púja, thoughts and vibrations of spiritual forces are created around us. These spiritual forces work to eliminate the negative influences in our life and help surround us with positive energy which can bring us peace of mind, material prosperity, and enable us to more clearly touch the Divine, our true nature.”
Br. Shantamrita Chaitanya will perform Durga Pῡja at 4:00 pm on Wednesday, December 31st. This púja is performed for the mitigation of suffering through the grace of the Divine Mother and to help us get rid of evil tendencies in us. It is also a fitting way to close out 2014 and embrace the New Year on a spiritually positive note.
The venue of this sponsored event will be the Satsang Hall.
