Full Moon Meditations in Toronto

I hope Swami Veda Bharati Ji also gets to see how we are faithful to his simple request years ago that we meet from the different religious and spiritual traditions and pray together in SILENCE for Peace come to all humankind!!

Have a blessed SPRING and may each of us blossom and flower like the various plants and flowers in GARDENS all around our city from now till late Fall!! Ciao and OM SHANTI! SHANTI! SHANTI!
—Father Terry Gallagher

At almost every full moon meditation attended by him and Shri Amar Erry, tribute is paid to Poojya Swami ji in encouraging all of us to pay silent homage to the deepest practices of the Himalayan Masters by sitting in silence remembering/reciting with each breath the name of the Ultimate Reality from within our own tradition.

Over the years, lay people and Elders from just about every ethnicity and every faith and lineage in Toronto including Catholic/Anglican priests, Jewish Rabbis, Imams, Sufi Masters, native Elders, Buddhist monks, Sikh, Jain and Bahai elders, Mormon laity and Elders and Swamis of Arya Samaj, the Vedanta Society, Chinmaya Mission and Shri Chinmoy Centre have participated in Poojya Swami Veda Bharati's ji's invitation to join him on Full Moon Nights.
