OPENING OF ASHRAMS AND PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN
Bulletin 2021.20 Sunday, 17 October 2021
Dear sisters and brothers,
As more and more requests are being received to open our ashrams, and as the situation is improving, I would like to open them for Sunday group meditations.
Only ashrams are to be opened, not individual homes or any other informal sub-centre locations. The following precautions are to be observed:
- Please follow the protocols of your local government strictly, for example, Rajasthan allows a maximum of 200 to gather, West Bengal 100, etc. Functionaries are requested to gather this information from the respective authorities and inform everyone.
- Only those of you who have completed both doses of a Covid vaccine (no exceptions), and who show your vaccination certificate, will be allowed into the ashrams. Please do not bring children to the ashrams and risk their health.
- Social distancing and double masking are mandatory. Masks need to cover your nose and mouth completely, not leave either of them exposed.
- Please use only your own transport to travel to the ashrams. Those who use public transport are requested to sit at home and connect online. The 9 a.m. online group meditation will be aired as usual and will be displayed on screens in the ashrams.
- Avoid food consumption at the ashrams, to reduce exposure to Covid.
- At Kanha Shanti Vanam, the current protocols remain in place, and all requests to visit are to be sent to the Ashram Manager, brother Vineet Ranawat.
