Information<br />
Dada Shyam! We warmly welcome you to the first-‐ever birthday celebrations in <br />
the New York area being held in the presence of our revered Dada himself! This year, <br />
as we celebrate in a spirit of thanksgiving, our joy is doubled with beloved Dada <br />
recovering miraculously from his fall in May, 2010. We are all truly blessed to have him <br />
in our midst. During this weekend of jubilation, through song and dance, reflection and <br />
service, let us all join together and pray fervently at the Divine’s doorstep for dear <br />
Dada’s continued good health. <br />
For maximum benefit from this auspicious weekend, and due to the packed <br />
<strong>sch</strong>edule of events, we suggest that all attendees make arrangements for overnight <br />
stays nearby, and make it a wonderful weekend spiritual retreat! We have negotiated <br />
very attractive hotel rates for your kind benefit. The hotels and rates are posted online <br />
