Dear Friends,
Our group has been hosting Hindu Temple tours in Flushing, Queens for many years, typically during the fall festive season. Recognizing that many of our veg*n meetup members enjoy spiritual and philosophical discussions, we are excited to invite you to an engaging, in-person spiritual talk at the Ganesh Temple in Flushing, Queens.

This year’s event theme is about Bridging traditions – “**Application of Traditional Teachings in Modern Life**”. The spiritual talks will delve into the Purusharthas – Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha – and their relevance in today’s world.

**Location -**
Saraswati Hall – Ganesh Temple
45-52 Bowne Street, Flushing, NY 11355

**Please [Register here](https://forms.gle/TmQNHpa8YkScw1RE8) for this event, or use the QR code in the event image. (Event is FREE – no cost.)**

Light refreshments with veg*n options will be provided during the lunch break. Alternatively, you can choose to eat at the Ganesh Temple canteen or the nearby Dosa Hutt. A quick note about the food venues: while both of them serve 100% vegetarian food, not all options are vegan. The food is very reasonably priced and offers some of the best South Indian veg*n fare in the Tri-state area.

**What to wear:** Please dress comfortably and stay hydrated. As respect to the place of worship, please No shorts, mini skirts and ripped jeans.

**Train/ Bus Directions:** Take the Flushing-bound 7 Train to the last stop – Flushing-Main Street Station. Transfer to the Q27 bus on Main Street/39th Ave, and after about 10 minutes (8 stops), get off at Holly Ave/Robinson St – walk 234 ft to Ganesh Temple. Alternatively, transfer to the Q65 bus on Main St/Roosevelt Ave, and after about 5 minutes (4 stops), get off at 45 Ave/Bowne St – walk 0.1 miles to the temple. You can also walk from the Main St. subway station to the temple (~1 mile). Check Google Maps for directions.

Looking forward to seeing you on July 21st!
