We are having a prayer vigil (like at Temple on Sundays) so come prepared so you can sit comfortably for hours at a time.

Ribbons for every Amaraji Maha Marai and all the people you know and love and wish to pray for.  Be able to read the names of the people you are praying for.

White Stole- if you are taking new vows or renewing TEMPLE VOWS from previous years.

A white stole (Hand sewen) which represents the garment of one’s first vow promises within the Amaraji Maha Marai Family.    Everyone will create their own stole as a way repatterning their Neesha.

These are the basic criteria for creating this garment.

1. Fabric:  2 ½ yards of unpatterned, plain white cotton…
2.  You will need white thread.
3. Cut the fabric to 7 and ½ feet long and 11 ½ inches wide. Fold in half, ironing under a ¼ seam allowance around the three open sides, then hand-stitch the three sides.  Your final product will be a stole that is 7 feet 3 inches long and 5 ½ inches wide.
4. Estimated cost of this project is $15.00.
5. No fringe or other decorative ornamentations

Vow Renewal Statement- One line of the New Covenant and a purpose statement that covers all the vows you have taken to date.

Vow Statement- for Ahimsa, Freedom or Peace...whichever one you are taking.
