4.        Request for Participation

- All these activities are free and very important for us spiritually. However everyone has to commit for regular participation for its success. Only then we unite socially and spiritually. Together we can succeed towards this noble path.

- Pooja event is free. As we are conducting this event once every month, it is only about 4 hours out of 720 hours in a month, which is less than 0.5 percent. Let us commit for this amount of time to unite together in our social life and spiritual path by helping attending the event regularly.
