Jai Guru Datta!

With the divine blessings of Sri Swamiji, we are performing "Laksha
Kumkuma Archana" collectively on Friday, 17th May 2002 at 7:00 PM at
Geeta Ashram. This worship consists of chanting "Sri Lalita Sahasra
Nama Stotram" and performing Kumkuma Puja to Mother Goddess. This
event approximately takes about 2 hr. 30 min.

Importance of this day:
This day happens to be the auspicious 'Sankara Jayanthi' - the birth
day of Sri Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya - who is worshipped as
incarnation of Lord Shiva and first Guru of recent times.

It is a divine coincidence that the Sankara Jayanthi is also the
birth day and the aradhana day (the day on which She attained
Samadhi) of Matha Jaya Lakshmi - the mother and Guru of our beloved
Sri Swamiji. Sri Jaya Lakshmi Matha is also worshipped as incarnation
of Goddess Sri Raja Rajeswari Devi.

More over, Friday is important day for the worship of Mother Goddess.

So, by performing this Laksha Kumkuma Archana on that day, we are
worshipping Mother Goddess and remembering Sri Jaya Lakshmi Matha
also.

You are all invited to participate in this event and make it a grand
success.

Please forward this mail to your family/friends who live in and
around Minnesota.
