Lotus web magazine to celebrate Yoga Day at a meditative, multifaith event

ALotusInTheMud.com is set to host an eclectic event, with Dr. Dattatreyudu Nori as Chief Guest, on June 14 at the Hanuman Temple in Hempstead, on Long Island.

Hempstead, NY: A multifaith panel on the devotional path to God, and Buddhist meditation for world peace are just two elements of the eclectic celebration of International Day of Yoga Day organized by ALotusInTheMud.com on June 14.

The evening event titled ‘The Heart of Yoga’, in association with the Consulate General of India, New York, brings together wellness, spirituality, culture, and community in the Pt Jasraj Auditorium of Vedic Heritage Hanuman Mandir in Hempstead, NY.

Parveen Chopra, Founder and Editor of Lotus web magazine, explains that since other Yoga Day events focus on asanas, he is presenting an immersive devotional program mix.

He also revealed that Dr. Dattatreyudu Nori, world-renowned oncologist awarded Padma Bhushan 2026, and founder of three Shirdi Sai Baba temples in New York and New Jersey, will be the chief guest at the event. Dr Nori is Advisor to the Governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in India for cancer services. He is former Chief of Brachytherapy Service, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS-

Panel Discussion on Devotion for Spiritual Evolution: Moderated by Parveen Chopra, panelists are Lama Aria Drolma, Yakub Mathew (banker and author), Nayan Kisnadwala (finance executive, painter and Vedic Heritage Hanuman Temple President), and Sharon Epstein (blends Judaism with yoga).

Loving-Kindness Meditation for World Peace: Led by Lama Aria Drolma, a model-tuned-ordained nun in a Tibetan Buddhism tradition, and acclaimed teacher and speaker.
