There is a link to for anyone to submit information to acknowledge and appreciate someone. Currently, when this is submitted, we typically send out hand-written appreciation letters to those identified. We would love to continue to highlight this in various ways.

Meditation and Discussion on Compassion with Hindu Chaplain

Hindu Spiritual Advisor Partha Biswas will draw out many practical wisdom texts from the timeless classic, Bhagavad Gita, to empower us to courageously face the tough times and stay positive in our outlook. We all go through challenges in life, but the current conditions around the world are pushing the challenges to their limits. In this unprecedented state of affairs filled with uncertainties, we all need a fortification at a different level, which can fill us with inner security and peace. The program will begin with 15 minutes of meditation, followed by a 30 minute interactive discussion. This is a recurring program that will be themed about compassion. RSVP here.
