Unity through Devotion: Join Our Monthly Naam Smaran

The Shree Gajanan Maharaj DFW organization invites all devotees to participate in our monthly Naam Smaran Seva. Rooted in our core pillars of Devotion and Unity, this initiative is a collective offering of prayer, chanting, and meditation dedicated to Shri Gajanan Maharaj.

By gathering as a community, we create a powerful space for spiritual growth, fostering a sense of humility and self-satisfaction. Whether hosted in a family home or a local temple, the vibrations created by collective chanting bring peace and sanctity to the environment and the hearts of all who attend.

Duration: Approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes (including short breaks).
The Booklet: All prayers, bhajans, and chants are organized in a timed sequence within our official Naam Smaran booklet to ensure a consistent experience for everyone.
Community & Prasad: Following the prayers, devotees enjoy a sense of fellowship, usually accompanied by Prasad provided by the host or a group of friends.
