A Warm and Loving Sai Ram Dear Members,
Hope all of you had a divine and Happy Thanksgiving Break!
We hope all of you had a very enjoyable and blissful Thanksgiving break! All of us needed the break after participating in three major events back to back at the Center!! As all of you know November is a very busy month at every Sai Center around the world and Loudoun Sai Center is no exception. All of us came together and celebrated Swami's 98th Birthday in a grand manner with close to 90 people offering and singing His glory! The energy and bliss was palpable.
We will be having our regular devotional service and SSSE Carols practice this Sunday at the Brother Ramesh Mallina’s Residence (see below in Devotional and SSSE sessions for more details) and we look forward to seeing all of you there.
See below for important details.
