This year, we will celebrate Babaji on Saturday, September 26, with a puja (​​ceremonial offering), yajna (ancient Vedic ritual), and kirtan (devotional singing) at the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple ( https://temple.mountmadonna.org ), followed by a bhoj (feast).\nThe date of Babaji’s passing was September 25, 2018, the second day of Pitru Paksha, on the day after the full moon. Pitru Paksha on the traditional Hindu calendar is an auspicious 16-day period beginning on the full moon day in late August or September. In this tradition, Pitru Paksha is an important time for annually honoring ancestors with tarpanam (making offerings) and shraddha (ritual paying homage). If one leaves their body during this period, as Babaji did, it is considered particularly auspicious.\nThere are a number of ways through which you may choose to participate:\n\nAradhana & Bhoj:\nJoin the aradhana festivities on Saturday, September 26. Arrive for the morning rituals that begin at 7:00 a.m., and stay for the bhoj. Please register before September 24 and include the total number of people in your party. Note: Only one vehicle per registration; register each vehicle separately.\n\nCost: FREE. Donations to help cover costs are welcome!\n\nAradhana & Bhoj with Overnight Accommodations:\nBook an overnight stay for Friday, September 25, and stay through the aradhana & bhoj. Arrival and check is between 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. Check out is 11:00 a.m., however, you may choose to stay until 5:00 p.m. and enjoy general access to the campus. Dinner on Saturday, September 26, is not included. Please register at least 48 hours in advance to your scheduled day of arrival.\n\n\nCost: Based on lodging selection\n\nAradhana via Livestream:\nCelebrate Babaji’s aradhana from afar via livestream on the Temple YouTube channel. No pre-registration necessary.\n\n\nCost: FREE\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”flip-in” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default” delay=”500″][vc_custom_heading text=”Schedule” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” css=””][vc_raw_html css=”.vc_custom_1786393036101{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}” el_class=”doubleLinedTb”]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
