Swamiji’s
Bhiksha Guidelines:
Bhiksha
simply means ALMS. Our Scriptures state that Brahmacharins and Sannyasins seek Bhiksha
from Devotees and Householders. They do not cook for themselves. Thus it becomes
our Dharma to provide Bhiksha. Merely the presence of Brahmacharins and Sannyasins
sanctifies our very Being. The attitude with which we provide Bhiksha is of utmost
importance. While we provide food to sustain the body of the Sannyasins, we ask
for the Jnana Bhiksha (ALMS of Spiritual Knowledge, Devotion, and Dispassion). Please

Field Trips: On
some Fridays, there will be a field trip or swimming. Parents are required to
sign permission form for off-campus trips. They are also required to signup
for accompanying for one field trip.
