Dear
Devotees,
March 2006 started off with a
wonderful Jugalbandhi concert
by Nandkishor Muley and V.K.
Raman on Saturday, March 4 at
the HTA. Many enjoyed the
melodious Santur and flute music
in both Carnatic and Hindusthani
styles. The Focus on the
Family Seminar on March19,
2006 entitled "Educating
Our Children and Psycho-social
Issues” was well attended. The
presentations by panelists Ratna
Kancherla, Ami Kadaba, Parina
Shah and Kalpana Raju were
excellent. Dr Suvrat Bhargave
dynamically moderated it. The CMAGA
concert by Sanjay
Subramaniam and party was a
resounding success. The
auditorium was packed and the
concert was flawless.
Sri Rama Taraka Nama Japa
Maha Yagam was started on
Saturday, March 18 with Sri Rama
Sahasranama Archana. It will
continue till Sunday, May 28.
Details are given below.
Brahmotsavam celebrations are
right around the corner. Please
see the temple calendar for
details. We hope to see you
participate in as many temple
activities as possible. Wish you
all a very happy Ugadi!
“Commune in silence with
the unspoken language of your
heart. Feel the glory of the
spirit within and around you. Be
happy!” Swami Shuddhananda
