Topic: Alignment with Sanatana Dharma in the Present-Day World
In a time marked by anxiety, anger, and constant comparison, Sanatana Dharma—through the Gita, Vedas, and other timeless teachings—offers a path to align with a higher purpose and inner balance; it teaches us to act with dharma, remain detached from outcomes, and anchor ourselves within rather than seeking external validation, thereby reducing stress and emotional turbulence, and ultimately guiding us toward a life of clarity, resilience, and lasting peace.

Note: All times shown above are for San Ramon, California. These times may vary by a few minutes for other cities in the Bay Area. For pañcāṅga times, we use 24-hour format. The duration between two consecutive sunrises is considered as one day. The sankalpa for San Ramon can be accessed here.
our practices
The temple is open every day. Please see temple hours for when the temple is open each day. We welcome people of all faiths to visit our temple and seek baba’s blessings.
Etiquette: Men should refrain from wearing shorts, distressed jeans, and T-shirts that expose the chest. Similarly, women should avoid wearing shorts, dresses with hem lines above the knees, and distressed jeans.
donations
We understand that devotees would like to donate materials such as rice, dal and other spices to the temple. Please see this list for what the temple needs and what items we have an excess of before bringing items to the temple. This helps us maintain healthy inventory of what is needed for preparing prasadam each week.
Devotees can sponsor various sevas through cash donations.
Check out stotra vāhinī – repository of ślokās and stotrās. We have included some common and well-known ślokās, stotrās, aṣṭotrās, nāmāvalīs, etc.. Devotees can use these as a reference in the temple or in their homes for regular chanting, or to learn new ślokāa to enhance their spiritual knowledge. These can also serve as a learning tool for our children to get initiated to the spiritual power of chanting.
We will continue to add to this collection regularly. If you would like to see any of your prefered slokas in this repository, please let us know.
Welcome to sāī vicāraṇ – our temple newsletter. The primary focus of the newsletter is to inform all our devotees of upcoming festivals and events we celebrate at the temple. Additionally, we plan to include one educational feature on sanātana dharma. We plan to publish up to ten issues of this newsletter every year. Anyone can contribute to this newsletter.
We look forward to seeing you at our temple, and joining our community.
