Universal Worship

THE UNIVERSAL WORSHIP
The Universal Worship celebrates the unity of all religious faiths on one altar by lighting candles to represent the diversity of faiths and offering prayers to honor all religions.  A Cherag (from the Persian word for ‘lamp’) facilitates this service along with other services such as weddings, funerals, baby blessings, and house blessings.  Cherags at Rising Tide are available to the Sarasota community at large. Universal Worship is held every Sunday at 10.30 am at Rising Tide 5102 Swift Road  Sarasota, FL 34231 .

CHERAG TRAINING
Shahabuddin David Less is the International Director of the School of Universal Worship. He offers training for those who feel called to become Cherags in the Universal Worship. Under the direction of Shahabuddin, time together will provide an accomodation for spiritual practice and inner work to understand and attune to the Universal Worship.

Candidates will become familiar with all aspects of the various services through daily practice of the Universal Worship. The emphasis for the training is on gaining the experience and the confidence to bring a living energy through the service.  Participants share experiences and wisdom working together in groups and create a community that lasts beyond the training.
