Dear Brothers & Sisters of the world,

Your Sahaj family from Africa, America, France, Switzerland and Portugal are honoured that you will be joining us in worship at the Holy Lotus Feet of Shri Mataji to celebrate Diwali Puja 2004.

On this site, you will find useful information regarding the Puja venue and transportation, and also the proposed programme that will carry us together for three days of meditation, devotion, celebration and fun.

It is our privilege to be able to offer this Puja to Shri Mataji on the auspicious occasion of Diwali - and we pray that Her love lightens each and every one of our hearts so that the shimmering waves of Her love are felt in every corner of the globe from where we come and to where we will return.

Looking forward to welcoming you all to the City of Angels and to spending every single minute in the full consciousness that we are bathing in the soft glow of our Holy Mother's divine love & attention.

Important Update

It is a huge pleasure to know that 1,000 plus people will be joining together in Los Angeles to worship Shri Mataji as Shri Lakshmi, but at the same time this means some adjustment in our accommodation arrangements which were orginally organised for around 800 people.

Please note that we are OBLIGED to fit 5 people into each of the Marriott's very comfortable rooms and so we WILL NOT have the added luxury of reduced occupancy rooming at this event. If any of you should have sleeping-bags, please do bring them along as one person in each room will be sleeping on the floor - again very comfortably, cosy and carpetted.

We are counting on everyone's generosity and collective attitude to allow a smooth check-in for all and for those who have paid an advance on reducing rooming, refunds will be given.
