CMH Policy Enforcement on Punctuality and Cell Phone Use Effective April 07, 2024

We urge our members to be seated in the Smriti and/or Saraswati Nilayam before the bhajanas start. Effective Sunday April 7, 2024, in order to enforce this, we will take the following actions:

1.  The main entrance gate will be closed at 8:35 AM for the first session, and at 11:20 AM for the second session

2.  The doors to Smriti Hall will be closed at 8:45 AM for the first session, and 11:30 AM for the second session.

3.  Those who are in the dining hall will be allowed in after the children leave for their classes. The PreK thru Grade 6 children can go to the Saraswati Nilayam and will not have to wait in the dining hall.

We do not allow the use of electronic devices during the session as it is distracting to others and disrespectful to the speaker. Those found using electronic devices during the pravacana will be politely asked to leave.

Chant Gita, Learn Gita, Live Gita

We are learning to chant verses from Chapter 4 of Bhagavad Gita in Smrti Hall.

The chanting is being done in a lead-follow format.

Children and adults are strongly encouraged to bring a print-out of Gita Chapter 4.

Please refrain from using your devices to access the text online.

Children in Sarasvati Nilayam are also learning the verses every Sunday. Please give them their own printed copy.

We would like everyone to learn Gita verses, and commit to learning as a family, as it is our offering to Pujya Gurudeva Swami Chinmayananda.
