Grand Baraat for Shri Ram and Mother Sita

When Shri Ram Sita Kalyanam unfolds, devotion rises and love overflows in every heart.
People forget themselves and are carried into a bliss so deep, the world fades away.

Celebrate your roots while planting new traditions here in the Triangle.

Finally, a way to handle the daily friction of balancing work and family. We often think our stresses are "modern," but the Ramayan actually holds the blueprint for these exact moments. Swamiji is showing us how this ancient wisdom is actually a roadmap for our lives today. Join us to see how.

April 26 in Cary — you are not just listening or watching the Ramayana. You are inside it! Sri Sita Rama Vivah Mahotsav. April 26. Free. Full meals all day.
Morning begins with Pujya Swami Shantananda ji unfolding the Vivah Katha — the most beautiful passage in the Ramcharitmanas — in English. Then Shri Ram's Baraat arrives. Dhol. Music. Children dressed as the princes of Ayodhya leading the procession. Ladies of Mithila showering flowers. A sacred Vedic ceremony uniting Shri Ram and Mother Sita. Being in it provides Blessings for those seeking a life partner. For couples renewing their bond. For parents holding that quiet prayer for their children. Then Katha again in the evening to carry it all home. Come dressed in yellow and saffron.

He learned at the feet of the man who brought Vedanta to the West. Now he is coming to our neighborhood. (Cary, NC)
Pujya Swami Shantananda was personal secretary to Swami Chinmayananda — one of the most extraordinary spiritual minds of our time. He did not just study under him. He lived it, traveled with him, absorbed it firsthand. Today he leads Chinmaya Mission West — over 60 centers spanning the United States and Canada.
And honestly — people fly across the country just to sit in the same room as him. This April he is in Cary. Eight evenings. The complete Ramayana in English. Your parents will feel it. Your kids will remember it. And you — you will finally hear the whole story the way it was meant to be told.
Meals and snacks provided. No ticket. No registration.
April 25 through May 2. Reedy Creek Middle School, Cary, NC.
