The word "Upavan" signifies a path to the Divine. "Vana" refers to the Supreme Self or Brahman, "upa" means near. Together, Upavan represents that which brings you closer to your true Self.

Through scriptural study and reflection, Upavan will be an abode of jñāna yoga. Through chanting, devotional hymns and pūjās, it will be an abode of bhakti yoga. Through the selfless service of our entire community, it will be an abode of karma yoga.  When the three yogas come together in any being, they are the closest to their true selves.

We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you and walking closer to our true selves.
