The satsanga will be in webinar format. For the satsanga to be successful, we need everyone’s cooperation. Please read and follow the Zoom session etiquette given below.
1. Please have only one device (computer, iPad, smart phone etc.) per household for the session.
2. Everyone should be punctual; they should join five minutes before the start time and attend until the class ends.
3. Satsanga is a place of learning and worship, so please dress appropriately as you do for regular CMH class.
4. Sit in a clean, proper place (study or prayer room if possible) with minimum disturbances or distractions.
5. Likewise, NO eating during class! Finish breakfast/snack before you join the class.
6. Be active and refrain from multitasking while you are in the class. Do NOT walk around or engage in other side activities while you are in class.
7. Treat these sessions with respect just like the regular onsite classes.
