Colorado Pranam Ad For National Program

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

The Colorado Satsangs are planning a pranam ad for the National Program Booklet which is handed out during Amma’s tour of North America.  We are planning on at least a half page ad.  Funds raised by program booklet ads help to pay for Amma’s visit to the U.S.  The cost of placing the ad is paid by devotee donations and we still need your help to reach our goal!  Please make your donation check payable to Amma Colorado and give it to your satsang host or email Danica at danicabrown@yahoo.com for mailing address.  Thank you for your support!

Bailey Satsang Time Change

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

The Bailey Satsang has changed its starting time to 11:00AM on the last Sunday of each month.  We hope that this later starting time will make it easier for devotees from outside the Bailey area to attend Satsang.  For more details and info on the Bailey Satsang please visit the Satsangs page on this website.

CO Springs Satsang to Perform Bhajans at Local Event

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Last year the Colorado Springs Satsang hosts’ co-housing Community had a “talent show” party. Thinking that it’s always a good thing to expose new people to Amma’s music/energy, a few of us decided to do our rousing version of ‘Kuch na le ” (Hari Bol), which was received with great enthusiasm. Afterward several of the children could be heard singing hari bol hari bol hari hari bol for a couple of weeks.

The “talent show party” has been scheduled again this year, on Feb 29, which was originally going to be our bhajan practice evening– but at satsang this past week we talked about sharing a couple of bhajans again at the Community party that night. Only a few of us were there, but we decided to offer to do Kuch na le again and also Amma Baramma. So we moved the practice to this THURSDAY PM, Feb. 21, from 7-8:00. We’ll work on those 2 songs and plan on sharing them with the community folks on the 29th, instead of having the practice that night.

All are welcome to participate; the more the merrier. If you want to sing on the 29th, but CANNOT make it to practice this Thursday, please let Pat or Arun know and we’ll figure it out. We thought we would dress up in our most Indian garb possible. If anyone needs to borrow a sari, Pat has some extras. So far we are the only “talent” signed up. Last year most of the talent (other than us) was provided by the kids–but who knows? Contact Pat or Arun (see Satsang webpage link to right) for more info.
