This will be a great get-together for the community during the cold winter, with some work-out and fun thrown in. The event is open to everyone. Flyer is posted at http://lansingtemple.org/misc/garba.pdf.

3. Maha Shivaratri 24-hour celebration from 6 AM on Monday February 23

Details will be sent later. For now, we request that  you sign up for a one-hour period of chanting the Panchakshari Mantra (Om Namah Shivaya) either by writing your name on the sign-up sheet available at the Temple or by calling one of the priests (phone: 517-339-6337). Devotees may sign up for more than one slot or have multiple devotees for each slot.

Thank you.
