Spirituality & God: Discussion Group
As we are on the cusp of a new year, with new hopes and aspirations, we thought it may be a good idea to start a discussion group focused on Spirituality & God. This would be an informal discussion group, not particularly aligned to any belief system/guru/society or anything of that kind, but an open forum where :
– We can openly and freely discuss noble spiritual concepts and ideas of all kinds in a friendly and positive environment
– Discuss or share spiritual books, articles, videos, etc
– Ask questions/critique in a “non-threatening” and respectful environment
– Listen to spiritual experiences, share spiritual techniques/practices that worked
– Explore avenues to extend help to those in need around us
– And ultimately evolve as better human beings!
For now, we just call it as Neo-Spirituality..We just want to have fun talking & loving God, in a less “loaded” environment!
If this idea resonates with you and if you would like to meet up/discuss with like-minded individuals or share any content to the group, please send a note to spiritualityne…@g…com or join our FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1973648486243094/
Happy New Year 2018!

SanGaMa- theTrivalley Malayali (Kerala) group!
Due to our growth over the years, we have folks from all over tri-valley and hence we recently renamed our group to “SanGaMa” to mean gathering of Malayali community in the trivalley area. Check out our new website at http://www.sangama.us/ . If you have roots in Kerala and are living in Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Danville or planning to move here, you will find the group helpful.
We recently celebrated Onam with much fanfare and are getting started with planning our Christmas get-together. Check out the site for more details or join our facebook page. Check out the videos and pics at the website!
What is SanGaMa ?
Started in late 2009, this a friendly group started for the benefit of Malayalis living in San Francisco East Bay locations like San Ramon, Dublin, Danville and Pleasanton … We celebrate festivals of Kerala like Onam,Vishu, Christmas/New Year etc…This also functions as a forum for networking with other Malayali (Kerala) families in the area. We have periodic get-togethers for our main events or we go for short-trips in the bay area or we just hang out with one another occasionally! If you know of other families with roots in Kerala in the neighborhood who might be interested, please spread the word.
People living in San Ramon, Dublin, Danville & Pleasanton areas would find this group useful. It includes major communities like Windemere and Gale Ranch in San Ramon.
We are a friendly group..so feel free to join !
Thanks,
Vijay
