To improve the atmosphere of worship during study circle and Bhajan session please follow the center guidelines.

1. From 10:00 AM until 10:45 AM, there will be a White Board on the counter as you enter the worship hall. On this Board will be twelve (12) spaces for various devotees to sign up to sing a certain Bhajan during Bhajan singing.

There will be headers as follows:
   YOUR NAME    BHAJAN #    PAGE #

2. There will be a Bhajan Book beside this White Board to enable you to record the Bhajan number and the Page number accurately. Leave both the White Board and the Bhajan Book on the counter during Study Circle.

3. Then, at 10:45 AM, Subbu will take the White Board from the counter, and place it at the front of the altar, where everyone can see the order of the Bhajans to sing, including who is singing, and what Bhajan # and Page #.

( Note: if there are blank spaces on the board where no one has signed up for a particular spot, Subbu will fill these spaces himself. Please also note, ONLY Subbu will fill in these blank spaces in order not to disrupt, further, the smooth flow of spiritual energies from Study Circle to Bhajan singing. If you do not arrive in time to sign up to sing a Bhajan, then, arrive earlier next time in order to sign-up to sing a Bhajan. Do not sing a Bhajan if you are not on the signed list. This confuses everyone, and disrupts the discipline we have implemented to guide the worship experience through a reverent atmosphere.)

Baba has told one of our devotees that He will bless our Center, but that we need more self-discipline. Please cooperate in these matters we have put into place to honor His guidance.

4. Also, young children below the age of six years old, will meet in a separate room during Study Circle, through Meditation, and the Three Oms. Upon arrival, they will go directly to the room down the hallway to the right. An adult will be there to guide them through various activities to teach them, such as coloring, games, or singing. If when parents arrive, there is not a person to supervise these young children, the parents will wait in this room, until someone arrives to conduct this service to these children.

After the Meditation and the Three OMs, these small children will join the adults for the Bhajan Singing.

During Bhajan singing, we request that parents of young children sit at the back of the group, with their small children, so as not to disturb the worship when their child needs to go to the restroom, etc.

5. Children six (6) years and older will have Bal Vikas at the back corner of the worship room during the Adult Study Circle from 10:00 AM to 10:45 A M. They will also join the adults for Bhajan Singing, after the Meditation, and the Three Oms.
