Dear All: The Ideal Kids Organization runs its 10th year Summer Run for the kids and their entire family, starting this week.
Every Sunday from 7:45 AM to 9 AM for six weeks (June 2nd to July 7th), the families with the kids meet at nearby parks to walk and run for 2 miles, followed by fun games.
It is a wonderful opportunity to instill love for outdoor activities among kids. Moreover, every week, the kids get to play the role of Group Leader, Warm-up Leader, Theme-Leader, etc. Every kid gets an opportunity to play the leadership role, which is an added benefit in this program. Costwise, it is just $5 per kid for the entire 6 weeks. This Summer Run program runs at 6 locations in the Bay Area.
I am coordinating/leading the San Ramon group that meets at East Branch Park 12691 Harcourt Way, San Ramon, CA. If you’re interested, please go ahead and register online and let me know, if you have questions.

Shiva-Vishnu Temple, Livermore, CA, would like to reach out to the Hindu community in the Bay area and across the US and invite them to participate in the Atirudra Maha Yagnam and Sata Chandi Homam to be performed at the Livermore temple from March 1 through March 11, 2018. This is the first time an event of this magnitude is performed by Livermore Temple. Atirudram is a Mega 11 day event with participation by 121 priests and ritviks, many of them coming all the way from India. We therefore urge devotees to seize the opportunity at hand and participate all eleven days of the event.
What is the Ati Rudram? The four Vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva) are the roots of our religion and foundation for Sanatana Dharma. Rudram and Chamakam are contained in the Krishna Yajur Veda. Rudram is the most sacred means of worshipping Lord Siva. Eleven recitations of the Sri Rudram (Namakam) followed by one recitation of the Chamakam is called the Ekadasa Rudram. Eleven Ekadasa Rudram recitations make one Laghu Rudram. Eleven Laghu Rudram recitations make Maharudram and eleven Maharudram recitations constitute Ati Rudram!

As we are on the cusp of a new year, with new hopes and aspirations, we thought it may be a good idea to start a discussion group focused on Spirituality & God. This would be an informal discussion group, not particularly aligned to any belief system/guru/society or anything of that kind, but an open forum where :
– We can openly and freely discuss noble spiritual concepts and ideas of all kinds in a friendly and positive environment
– Discuss or share spiritual books, articles, videos, etc
– Ask questions/critique in a “non-threatening” and respectful environment
– Listen to spiritual experiences, share spiritual techniques/practices that worked
– Explore avenues to extend help to those in need around us
– And ultimately evolve as better human beings!
For now, we just call it as Neo-Spirituality..We just want to have fun talking & loving God, in a less “loaded” environment!
If this idea resonates with you and if you would like to meet up/discuss with like-minded individuals or share any content to the group, please send a note to spiritualityne…@g…com or join our FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1973648486243094/
Happy New Year 2018!
