SUMMARY:Fire Ceremony and Purification\, Meditation: Drop-In
DESCRIPTION:A Vedic Fire Ceremony and Purification Ceremony is open to all 
 on Sunday mornings at 9:00 am\, followed by meditation. This is offered in
  the sanctuary\, prior to Sunday Service\, which begins at 10 am.\n\nDetai
 ls of these ceremonies can be found HERE.\n\nTwo mantras are repeated seve
 n times\, while ghee and rice are added to the fire. The ghee represents o
 ur heart's devotion and the grains of rice represent our karma that keeps 
 us from perfect union with God. The fire is the divine light that is the s
 ource of all that is. We repeat the mantras with a recording of Swami Kriy
 ananda chanting in Sanskrit.\n\nThe fire ceremony is followed by a Purific
 ation Ceremony and silent meditation which ends at 9:45.\n\nAll are welcom
 e.\nGayatri Mantra\nOm\nBhur bhuvah swah\;\nOm tat savitur varenyam\nbharg

 ur consciousness.\n  \nThe Mahamritunjaya Mantra\nOm\nTriambakam yajamah

 ritat\nSwaha.\nTranslation:\nWe worship that One of divine vision\nwho nou
 rishes all living beings.\nMay He free us from death\nand grant us immorta
 lity.\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;
