Kerala Hindus of North America (KHNA) and Organization of Hindu Malayalees (OHM) of Los Angeles are pleased to invite you and your family for a Sapthaham Yagnam, a spiritual journey starting from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM for seven consecutive days from July 7th to July 14, 2008 at Mithila Chinmaya Mission Center, Tustin, CA. We will have Bhagavatham Parayanam (discourse) with explanation in English for seven days, many additional special poojas and discourses conducted by eminent Acharyas from India.

This Sapthaham in Kilippattu is the first of its kind to be conducted in North America. It is intended to teach and emphasize the spiritual and moral values embedded in Bhagavatham to every devotee that participates. This Mahapurana Yajnam will be conducted by Yajna Acharya Sri Mannadi Hari and his team from the National Association of Science and Arts from Thiruvananthapuram. Sapthaham events are offered frequently in many temples in India, but staging an event of this magnitude in any country outside India is a challenge, and we are extremely fortunate to have this opportunity in the US. 

In addition, spiritual experts in the KHNA community and sapthaham attendees can take part in discussion forums conducted during the sapthaham. During the weekend (July 11-13), KHNA will also be conducting the Samgamam Family and Youth festival with several activities and competitions that women, youth and children can take part in.

• Registration and all meals during the sapthaham week are FREE
