Maharaj-ji’s Mahasamadhi ** 50th Anniversary Celebration
Details
## Friday September 22nd -Sunday September 24th 2023
## Neem Karoli Baba’s Mahasamadhi was on September 11, 1973, the day before the full moon in September. This date was called Anant Chaturdashi, one of the most auspicious moon dates in the Hindu calendar.
If you are interested in traveling to Taos for the weekend of Maharajji's 50th anniversary, here are the details.
We will discuss a more formal group plan at our first September Satsang, if you all are interested!
For now, I will post the schedule of events for the weekend, as well as temple visiting rules. You can check the website for any information you think you might need.
