Dear Friends,
We have the Sports Day photos up!! It is our tradition to end the Fall session with games, food and fun. Much thanks to our able volunteers!!

Look for our Open House information - we have openings in Adult Bollywood Fitness, Yoga, Chanting, Conversational Hindi and more. Check out our new 6 week series, by Gambhiraji - The Power of Sound and Silence on Chanting and Meditation, starting Feb 6, 2011.

An Interview with Rathi Raja on the challenges facing our youth and the importance of being a contributor in society versus a consumer. This spirit of Seva infuses our program at YICG and will continue to define us as a community. We hope to see 2011 ushering in a renewed commitment to building our network in a loving and holistic manner.  

You will find this great TED talk by Swami Dayananda Saraswati on being a Contributor in society a source of wisdom and inspiration. Do post your comments as a reply.

When we have had a difficult year, either personal or professional, it is hard to see the deeper, valuable lesson amidst the pain and suffering. A gentle guide on learning and coping from How to find Opportunity

Kripa Bhagat, a graduating senior, has shared her College Essay on YICG, and it captures the essence of the experience. Do share with friends.
