This gathering is in-person. It will be live-streamed. You can view this service in real time on our YouTube channel.
The Universal Worship celebrates the essential unity of all religions. We light lamps and offer prayers to honor all traditions and invoke the messengers of God, known and unknown, who have appeared in all times and all places to serve and enlighten humanity. We allow this one message to enter our lives and change our being.
A beautiful deepening experience within the Universal Worship includes readings from the world’s diverse religious and spiritual traditions. See scripture selections for each month here, for JANUARY 2023, follow link here. We read specific prayers during the Universal Worship ritual and invite all to read along. You may download a copy of the prayers here.
HINDUISM: “One should bathe the body with running water; then apply perfumes and ointments. This type of bathing should be combined with breath control. The effect is to destroy both inner and outer dirt and make a person fit for spirituality.” -Lakshmi Tantra (trans. S. Gupta)
