Do you practice regular meditation? ...In community and/or individually? Do you do puja (according with the tradition) to the image or just do vichara, self inquiry?

Namaskar Mir, We do meditation 3 times a day in the shrine. Everyone is welcome to come at those times any time as the meditation hall is open from 4:30 a.m. to 9:00 pm daily. We do not have traditional pujas. For our daily schedule, go to this link: https://arunachala.org/ashrama/schedule/ Dennis

Why only member not other people

Hello. I am new to this ashram, as I've only visited 2x, both times were quick visits w/friends just to familiarize ourselves w/this hidden gem in Jamaica Estates. I can only recommend you go there to see and make friends w/Bhandu-ji, he is the teacher who lives there and helped explain to us the history of the ashram. You can do all you mentioned in your question, as they have a devoted ashram schedule, but you may also go on your own time to meditate and pray...take a trip out there and I promise you won't be sorry. Enjoy.

Bandai is not a teacher, he just lives there for free . You can't stay there for free only members. Just joking,lol. hah

Internally, everyone at the Ashram does spiritual practices in line with their own individual innate tendencies. We do not do formal puja. We have meditation sessions in the meditation hall 3 times daily. Please check our website for the scheduled timings. www.arunachala.org

Thanks. Om Namashivaya!
