Cell Leader welcomes all devotees
Cell Leader invites different devotees who are competent in leading bhajans to conduct the bhajans. Use Music of Devotion-Satsang to select the different bhajans. Encourage competent men or women to lead the bhajans and play musical instruments. The basic instruments are kartalas and mridanga. Devotees are invited to bring other musical instruments also if they have the necessary skills.

Read – Discover – Understand – Apply (RDUA) Format:
Read: All devotees sit in a circle; the devotees take turns to read a paragraph of the book Journey of Self Discovery by Srila Prabhupada; as other devotees hear, they jot down important points that are particularly striking to them. Discover: All devotees get a chance to state briefly one of the points they have jotted down. In this stage, the devotees merely state the point without explaining too much.

Understand: In this stage all devotees get a chance to express one of the points they have jotted down in a few sentences. The articulation should be accurate according to what Srila Prabhupada has written.

Apply: In this last stage, all devotees get a chance to express how they can apply any one of the points that have been discussed from today’s reading in their daily life; the devotees could also explain practical situation in their life or someone else’s life and how what they have discussed can be applied.

Srila Prabhupada Smarana: One of the pre-assigned devotee speaks for about 3 to 4 minutes an anecdote from Srila Prabhupada’s life or a particular instruction or a particular transcendental quality of Srila Prabhupada.

Simultaneously a few devotees make arrangements for prasadam.

Potluck Prasadam (all devotees bring small quantity of bhoga to be shared with all other devotees. This is to avoid the burden of preparing prasadam for all the devotees on one person. In case the family members in someone’s house eat non-veg, such devotees can bring fresh fruits from the market.) and close of the meet. Offering and prasadam arrangements happen during the strategy session carried out by 2 or 3 devotees.
