Mission
and Objective
The
main purpose of our monthly Hawan is to have a positive thinking, spiritual
group, helping each other and our kids in personal, religious and spiritual
growth.
Guidelines
-
We perform
Hawan once a month, always on the last Sunday of the month (3rd Sunday if the
last Sunday is a long weekend).
-
Time is 11:00 AM sharp (so
please try to be there by 10:45am).
-
Our children
are our main focus of attention and parents must try and bring them over.
-
Once a year during summer
(mostly in the month of May) we organize a "Preeti Bhoj" (community lunch)
and, weather permitting, we have a picnic on that day.
-
We have one
topic for kids to prepare each month. Topics are related to our religion and
culture. Parents are informed of upcoming topics via email. Members should try
to bring a good thought for the others.
-
Everybody on email list is
informed of the Hawan, but the Yajman family is required to invite group
through email, phone, fax etc.
-
Dakshina for Brahma (one who performs Hawan) is $31 and the entire donation
goes towards different charities (mainly Panini Maha Vidyalaya in Sonepat,
Haryana). Receipts for the same are shared with members at Hawan. All the
Hawan attendees are encouraged to donate wholeheartedly. Group members
visiting India are encouraged to visit the institute.
-
The list of Yajman families for
upcoming year is identified at Hawan in the month of December. All the
families with intent to have Hawan performed at their homes are required to
provide input on or before December Hawan date.
-
At the end of
the Hawan, we only share "prashad" of Halwa that we offer to Yajya, and a
drink (water, soft drink and tea only). Any other food is not required
or expected.
-
Brahama family is supposed to assign one
person for the purpose of distributing prasad. Prasad and drinks should not be
served until Shantipooja is performed.
