Satsang for Sahil
Coming Together in Music, Generosity, and Community to Support Sahil and His Family
Join us for a heartfelt evening of Satsang, Seva, and Dāna as we gather in community to support Sahil, a dear friend of Melody’s, along with his family and community in Nepal.
Rooted in the yogic values of service (seva), generosity (dāna), and community (sangha), this special gathering offers an opportunity to come together in a meaningful way—sharing stories, music, movement, meditation, chai, and conversation while supporting a family in need of stable housing.
Throughout the evening, Melody and Prakhar will share stories and experiences from Nepal and Mysore, offering a glimpse into the people, places, and relationships that inspired this fundraiser. Together, we’ll explore the power of human connection and the ways community can bridge distances and transform lives.
The evening will also include playful movement guided by Melody and a Japa meditation practice led by Sarada Pranav. There will be time to enjoy chai, snacks, music, and conversation as we gather in the spirit of friendship, compassion, and collective care.
