## **✨Akshaya Tritiya: A Day of Infinite Success** Join us for a Sacred Vedic Fire Ceremony (Yagya) Maximize the most auspicious day of 2026! **Akshaya Tritiya** is the premier time for new beginnings, ensuring that any endeavor started on this day yields eternal results. We warmly invite you and your loved ones to join us for **Nitya Homa,** a traditional ceremony of worship and devotion. **Event Details** * **Date:** Sunday, April 19th, 11:30am-2pm * **Doors open:** 11:15am * **Location:** 792 Glencairn Ave, Toronto * **The Ceremony:** A traditional Vedic Yagya (Fire Sacrifice) performed by **Radhikatma Prabhu,** a dedicated practitioner and initiated Brahmin with years of specialized training. * At the end of the ceremony, we will have a **vegetarian feast** together. **🕊️How to Participate** This ceremony is open to everyone. By sponsoring the Yagya, your name is included in the **Sankalpa** (sacred intention). This means the sacrifice is performed personally on your behalf through the mediation of the Brahmin. **🍅The Art of Giving (Dana & Dakshina)** In Vedic culture, the exchange of energy is vital. To receive the full blessings of the ceremony, it is traditional to provide the necessary ingredients or the means to acquire them. **Required Offerings:** * **Ingredients:** Fruits, decorative flowers, flower garlands (2-3 small, 2 large), and ghee (clarified butter). * **Dana:** Practical gifts for the Brahmin’s household/livelihood. * **Dakshina:** A monetary contribution for the officiating Brahmin: You can donate cash or send an **Interac E-Transfer** to romaria@live.com **Note on Contributions:** In accordance with tradition, there is no fixed price list. A set fee nullifies the spiritual results of the Yagya. Offerings should be made from the heart, reflecting your own means and your appreciation for the complexity of the sacred work performed. **⌛The Most Auspicious Moment** The peak window for receiving blessings occurs within approximately **90 minutes (2 Muhurtas)** following the conclusion of the ceremony. **We look forward to seeing you there and sharing in these divine blessings!**

**MeetUp Location: Finch Subway Station** Toronto is filled with great nature to explore! So we are off to visit Don,; don river who connects nature throughout toronto and runs far. \*City Hike along the Old Rail Corridor Trail and East Don River\* This 15+ km trail starts and ends at subway stations, winds through lush ravines with river views, and offers spring greenery in mid-April that's vibrant after winter. In mid-April, Toronto's ravines burst with fresh green leaves on maples and oaks, wildflowers like trilliums start blooming, and the Don River flows actively from snowmelt, creating small cascades. Expect clear valley views, birdwatching (woodpeckers, herons), and possible deer sightings in the wooded sections—far more vivid than winter's bare trees. This time avoids summer crowds and bugs while highlighting spring's renewal, with mild temperatures perfect for a perfect outing. \*Trail Overview\* Begin at Finch Station on Line 1 (Yonge-University). Head northeast via nearby paths into Newtonbrook Park, then connect east to the Don River trails in East Don Parkland. The route follows German Mills Creek and the East Don River south through forested parklands, passing interpretive signs and memorial trees, before reaching Leslie Station on Line 4 (Sheppard). Total distance is around 15-18 km one-way, taking 4-5 hours at a moderate pace. \*Practical Tips\* Pack water, snacks, and layers for variable ravine microclimates; trails are mostly flat with some moderate hills/roots, suitable for trail runners or hikers. Check TTC for service (frequent on Lines 1/4)

🚶‍♂️🌿 WEST TORONTO RAILPATH & THE JUNCTION WALK WITH LUNCH (9KM) 🌿🚶‍♂️ Urban Trails, Creative Energy & A Junction Hangout Some of Toronto’s best walks follow the paths that used to move trains — now they move people. Join us for a relaxed, social walk along the West Toronto Railpath, a unique urban trail that blends city views, street art, and a slightly hidden side of Toronto most people overlook. We’ll make our way north toward The Junction, a neighbourhood known for its creative spirit, independent shops, and laid-back vibe — the kind of place that feels a little different from the rest of the city. This is not a formal tour. It’s a social walk with interesting surroundings and time to connect. 👉 **Don’t forget to join our WhatsApp group** – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc?mode=ac_t) *** 🚶‍♂️ What We’ll Do We’ll start near the Railpath and follow it north, enjoying the mix of greenery, industrial backdrops, and local art along the way. The trail is mostly flat and easy, making it a comfortable and steady walk. Once we reach the Junction, we’ll explore the area a bit before stopping for a casual lunch together. It’s the perfect way to wind down after the walk. You’re welcome to join for food or head out whenever you like. *** 🌦️ Weather & Expectations This walk will happen in typical spring weather — sun, clouds, or light rain. As long as it’s not extreme conditions, we’ll be going ahead. Dress in layers and come prepared — this is April in Toronto, after all. Comfortable shoes are recommended. Also — this is NOT a guided or historical tour. I ’ll share bits of context casually, but the focus is on being social and enjoying the walk. *** 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 Meetup Location: Outside the subway station 🫎 I’ll be wearing my Moose Hat ⏰ Meetup Time: 11:00 AM I will only wait 5 minutes. Early is on time. On time is late. **Lunch:** Shoeless Joes **Menu:** [Click Here!](https://shoelessjoes.ca/food-menu/) We’ll begin promptly — thank you for respecting everyone’s time.

This group is open to anyone who wants to be social and make friends — whether single or not. We also host: 🎬 Movies 🚶 Walks & hikes 🎭 Arts & culture outings 🍽️ Restaurant gatherings There’s always something happening. *** REMEMBER: You’re welcome to just show up on the day if you’re unsure about your schedule.
