*Rounding means continuous "rounds" of a full service throughout the day without stopping. Each round consists of Kirtan for twenty minutes, followed by The Reminder, Samgacchadvam, 30 minutes of collective meditation, and Divine Path.
Everyone comes together for the first round at 5:30 AM (11:30 Night of previous day). Then each group (previously chosen) takes turns doing a round, for one round each. (Of course, individuals from the other groups can always join for more/other rounds. Doing all the rounds, for the full day, is an intense and wonderful spiritual experience!) Finally, everyone comes back together again at 5:30 PM (11:30 Day) to do the last round.
**The rounding for the last day of the Feast (Holy Convocation) is one of the only two times during the year (the other is Passover) when we broadcast a recording of service led by Maitreya himself!
***If you felt to do so, you could bring a flower to place at Maitreya's (GIWH) chair (or your altar, etc.) during the Candle Ceremony.
After the ceremony, we take our lit candles to the dining room for a candlelight dinner.
