About Our Spiritual Family (Sangha)

After our meditation sessions, we rarely rush off. We stay back to share prasad and simple conversations, because we have found that the strongest support on the spiritual path comes from the genuine friendship of fellow seekers, or 'gurubhais' as we call each other.
