Note Taking
It is Master's wish that we take full advantage of his presence and do not spend time and attention taking notes. Therefore, you are kindly requested to refrain from taking notes during the Satsang and Question & Answer session. The taking of notes and the passing of such notes to others by any means, including email and social networks, is strongly discouraged.

Family Area (those attending with children)
All children under the age of 10 must go to the Family Area accompanied by one parent or family guardian, who is at least 18 years old. Children aged 10 to 12 years may use the Family Area (but must be accompanied by one parent or guardian) or go to the main Satsang Hall (also accompanied by a parent or guardian). All Children over 12 years of age must go into the Satsang Hall. The Family Area will open from 7:00am until the end of the Satsang Programme. Parents or guardians may network among themselves to help care for each other’s children, but these arrangements should be made either in advance or made outside the Family Area before entering. Once a parent or guardian has entered the Family Area, he or she will not be allowed to leave the Family Area until after the Satsang Programme is over. Parents or guardians will be required to remain with their children the entire time. Once the Satsang Programme is over, family members picking up their relatives from the Family Area are requested to wait outside the facility for their relatives to exit, as no one is allowed to enter the Family Area after Satsang.
