1999 Karma Yoga

Taking the opportunity to serve the Lord is an important part of spiritual life. This year, Mother's temples in Scappoose provide abundant chances for Karma Yoga.

The Scappoose retreat has six on-going project areas:

  1. Storage/workshop at ground level at the main temple.

  2. Guest bedrooms upstairs.

  3. South deck off the main Temple.

  4. Landscaping/walkways around the main Temple.

  5. Shrine repair and maintenance (Buddha, Native American, Jewish, particularly).

  6. Trails - completing the Karma Trail, Dhyana Trail.

Those interested, please contact Swami Shantarupananda for details.
