By the immense grace of Sri Swamiji, Sri Premika Varadha Thakurji, Sri Panduranga, and Sri Rukumai, Atlanta Namadwaar joyfully celebrated Ashada Ekadasi on Saturday, July 25, 2026, during the weekly Saturday Satsang.
As a prelude to the Ashada Ekadashi celebrations, devotees lovingly offered 12 hours of Mahamantra Nama on Friday, July 24, 2026, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Families participated both virtually and in person, offering Nama in dedicated 30-minute slots, creating an unbroken stream of Mahamantra chanting throughout the day.
On Satuday, Satsang commenced at 5:00 PM with the study of Srimad Bhagavatham, where devotees learn, review, and immerse in the teachings of the divine scripture.
