Hari Om Devotees!

Below is the schedule of Discourses and Study Group sessions. When it is offered through Zoom, please follow the Zoom Etiquette listed at the end of this page.

After the Satsanga with Swamiji, please join your respective Study group. Study groups will discuss their assigned texts moderated by the Study group Sevak.

If you have not attended a discussion group at Badri, you are welcome to join the 1st group – Kindle Life – which is the beginner text. If you are familiar with any of the other texts, please feel free to join that session.
