*The first round is accomplished by everyone doing the Kirtan for twenty minutes, followed by The Reminder, Samgacchadvam, 30 minutes of collective meditation, and Divine Path. Then each group (previously chosen) takes turns doing a round, for one round each.
Everyone comes back together at 5:30 PM MST (11:30 Day) to do the last round.
Note: Because we do not have enough Feast participants this year for true rounding, we will only complete the first round, and then chanting (Kirtan) will be continuously broadcast over Paltalk until the last round begins at 5:30 PM. Anyone is welcome to join in with this chanting at any time for as long as they want; otherwise, the day will be spent as a normal Sabbath.
**If you felt to do so, you could bring a flower to place at Maitreya's (GIWH) feet during the Candle Ceremony. Those who are not at the Mission Center, wherever you are, can have this Candle Ceremony with others in your area or by yourself.
After the ceremony, we take our lit candles to the dining room for a candlelight dinner.
