Meetup – Urdu Punjabi Nazm Qawwali Ghazal

Leave a comment

Urdu Punjabi Nazm Qawwali Ghazal
Very interested in meeting people interested in reading,  discussing, quoting, and singing Urdu or Punjabi Nazm, Qawwali, Sufiana kalaam, Mazahiya, etc. Think Urdu and Punjabi Kalaams by Waris Shah, Bulleh Shah,  and more modern Mazahiyas like Khalid Masood Khan’s. I live in Dublin CA and would love to have a regular Mushaira with others who are interested. Very casual, social mushairas with food and drink – with a focus on Urdu, Punjabi, and Sindhi kalaams. If interested in these feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Interest in Vedanta in Tri Valley?

Leave a comment

Is the community interested in Vedanta inspired talk series conducted by an Advait Vedanta monk / Swami from Shri Ramakrishna Order on monthly basis in Danville / San Ramon?Potential schedule is Monday, Tuesday, Friday 8pm, & Saturday 11am, but not finalized.
Topic is open to requests & follow Q&A with Swami:
General Spirituality
Emotional Intelligence
Bhagwad Gita
Upanishads
Yogasutra
Karma
While Vedanta scriptures may be tagged “Hindu,” they’re not in conflict with any organized religions & don’t seek to propagate religions. Vedanta teachings are based on universal unity that go beyond & inclusive of organized religions as well as incorporate ideas & scientific conclusions from neuroscience, western philosophy, & psychology etc.. Vedanta compassionately acknowledges inquiring curious minds.Please email at jnnai…@g…com if interested. Please spread the word in your network & have anyone who may be interested email me.** Check out https://vedanta.org/what-is-vedanta/ OR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedanta to learn more about Vedanta.** Visit http://theberkeleyvedanta.org/our-origin to learn about Shri Ramakrishna Order and the monk leading the Tri Valley talk series.

Hello,
I am a working mom of 2 girls – 5 and 3 year olds. Live in Pleasanton. I am interested in joining or initiating a support group for women. In the past three years, I have lost my only sibling and supported my parents through this journey, gone through a pregnancy and tried to keep afloat. wondering if anyone who has seen their fair share of struggles will like to connect? Meet over coffee or allow ourselves a drink every once in a while. Just be there to lend a listening ear to each other, offer perspective or let our hair down!
Thanks,

Seniors Group and Get together

3 Comments

Hi, I am interested in starting a whatapp group for Indian seniors in the TriValley area for socializing. I feel that our parents when visiting from India feel lonely and isolated as they miss their friends and family back home. If they can meet over tea and snacks in park/ home/ etc every so often depending on the number of members, it will help them connect and feel happy. If there is already a group, please let me know so I can connect my parents to it. Please let me know your ideas around this. My number is 5107097138. Thank you!
