Chanting for Harmony to Benefit Philippines Typhoon Victims

Montage Initiative, a Bridgeport non-profit organization in collaboration with Mumbai Times Indian Restaurant located in Westport, teams up with Fairfield University and Ayurvedic lifestyle and dietary consultant Louise Bobrow to hold a non-denominational prayer session and blessed vegetarian Indian meal this Saturday at Fairfield University’s Dolan School of Business. There is no cost for the meal but a $25.00 donation is requested. Participants are asked to attend with an open heart. All proceeds will benefit the survivors and and honor the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.  

Hindu and Buddhist customs follow the belief that catastrophic natural events are the result of nature out of balance. Chanting in the Hindu tradition is intended to appease nature and return balance to the elements. Hundreds of thousands of people have lost their homes and villages in the Philippines. Water and sanitation systems are broken or flooded, increasing the health risk for already vulnerable families. We need your help! Donate now (click on the Donate button, under comments put “Dec. Fundraiser”); you can also mail a check to Montage Initiative at 955 Connecticut Ave., Suite 1208, Bridgeport, CT 06607 or Mumbai Times at 616 Post Rd. East, Westport, CT 06880 or you can donate at the door. Your gift will be directed exclusively to the relief efforts in the Philippines via the American Red Cross Philippines Typhoon Relief Fund.

Sacred Mantra Chanting will begin at 11:00 AM, followed by a traditionally served Indian vegetarian meal at 12:00 PM.  Please bring a mat or small pillow as most seating will be on the floor, although we will have chairs available for those that need it.
