SUMMARY:Study of "VYADHA GITA" - The Pious Butcher’s Gita
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nJoin us for a new Friday evening study group on the Vyadha Gita\, also known as The Pious Butcher’s Gita\, a striking teaching from the Mahabharata that reveals the spiritual depth of humility\, duty\, and inner realization in everyday life. Led by Swami Satyamayananda\, this series will explore how sincere work\, self-discipline\, and steadfast spiritual practice become a path to liberation. \nIn this remarkable text\, an unlikely teacher imparts profound truths about dharma\, self-mastery\, and the nature of genuine spiritual life. The series will examine how Vedantic wisdom applies not only to formal practice\, but also to the responsibilities and circumstances of ordinary life. \nThis weekly class is held in person at the Seattle Ashrama and livestreamed on YouTube. Like all of our activities\, it is free of charge and all are welcome. Those attending in person are welcome to remain afterward for questions and discussion. \nYou may join this series at any time. Livestreams are available here: https://www.youtube.com/@vedantasocietyofwesternwa/streams \n45 minute program. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Mother’s Children Vedantic Youth Group
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Mother’s Children is a youth program for children ages 4–14\, held on Sunday mornings during our regular Ashrama activities. Through stories\, activities\, and discussion\, children are introduced to the principles of Vedanta in an age-appropriate way while also nurturing a spirit of service and spiritual awareness. \nProgram Details: \n\nDuration: 90 – 110 minutes\nTime: Mother’s Children drop-off window is 9:45–9:55am. The ashrama’s Sunday Vedanta Practice begins promptly at 10am with group meditation. Parents are therefore asked to arrive within the drop-off window and settle children and themselves before 10am. Late arrival is disruptive to the meditation period and the children’s program.\n\nIf you plan on bringing your child\, please email the Mother’s Children program coordinators to let them know of your interest in the program and to ask any questions ahead of the session. \nMother’s Children Program Coordinators:\nLekshmi Venu and Aarti Sankrithi \nBoth are available at: mailto:vedantamotherschildren@gmail.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Sunday Vedanta Practice with Swami Satyamayananda: "Mind: Its Nature and Functions"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join us for a weekly rhythm of meditation\, teaching\, and discussion led by Swami Satyamayananda. The morning begins with meditation\, followed by a teaching on spiritual life and Vedanta. After the talk\, those attending in person are welcome to remain for coffee\, tea\, and continued discussion in our dining room. The bookstore will also be open. This reflects the new Sunday structure beginning May 3\, 2026. \nBecause meditation is now the foundation of the morning\, we ask everyone to plan ahead to arrive and be settled before 10am. Entering after meditation has begun is disruptive to the meditation period and to those already practicing. Upon arrival\, you may choose to join Swami Satyamayananda for Guided Meditation in the Chapel\, or enter the Shrine upstairs for Silent Meditation. \nThis event is held in person at the Seattle Ashrama\, and the 10:30 teaching is also livestreamed on YouTube. Like all Vedanta Society activities\, it is open to all and free of charge. Past talks may be selected from our YouTube playlists. \nSunday Schedule10am Meditation (Guided in the Chapel or Silent in the upstairs Shrine)10:30am Teaching11:30am Discuss Vedanta over coffee and tea; Bookstore available \n\n90-minute program\, followed by discussion.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Study of "VYADHA GITA" - The Pious Butcher’s Gita
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nJoin us for a new Friday evening study group on the Vyadha Gita\, also known as The Pious Butcher’s Gita\, a striking teaching from the Mahabharata that reveals the spiritual depth of humility\, duty\, and inner realization in everyday life. Led by Swami Satyamayananda\, this series will explore how sincere work\, self-discipline\, and steadfast spiritual practice become a path to liberation. \nIn this remarkable text\, an unlikely teacher imparts profound truths about dharma\, self-mastery\, and the nature of genuine spiritual life. The series will examine how Vedantic wisdom applies not only to formal practice\, but also to the responsibilities and circumstances of ordinary life. \nThis weekly class is held in person at the Seattle Ashrama and livestreamed on YouTube. Like all of our activities\, it is free of charge and all are welcome. Those attending in person are welcome to remain afterward for questions and discussion. \nYou may join this series at any time. Livestreams are available here: https://www.youtube.com/@vedantasocietyofwesternwa/streams \n45 minute program. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Seattle Ashrama Karma Yoga Day
DESCRIPTION:Karma Yoga\, in Vedantic philosophy\, is the path of selfless action\, where one performs duties without attachment to the results\, seeing work as an offering to the Divine. This practice emphasizes acting with dedication\, and detachment\, focusing on the process rather than the outcome\, thereby transforming everyday actions into a spiritual discipline that leads to self-realization and liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth. \nWe will meet at 10am for a brief talk by Swami Satyamayananda\, “Introduction to What is Karma Yoga?”. \nThereafter\, we will work inside and/or outside depending on the weather\, under the direction of Swami Avikarananda. All skill levels are welcome! Please attend wearing appropriate work clothes and footwear. We will be wrapping up at 1pm. \n3 hour prgm. \n
