Dear Bhagavathas:

My name is Venkatesan Santhanam. I would like to know whether any

Bhagavathas of Sriman Naryanan are around the Portland Oregan area.

There are no temples and no good association here. Am I really alone

here. My heart searches for someone who would give me an association

in the direction of Piratti and Perumal. Please help if you know

someone.

Dear Venkatesan:

I can empathize with your situation. I lived up in Portland OR for

the last two years, and felt this lack of cultural ambience very much.

Having moved to Dallas TX recently, I have been able to meet fellow

members of NAMA and commiserate with them on matters of mutual interest

and I am grateful to God for this opportunity. However I do

travel to Portland frequently [since my relocation is incomplete]; as

a matter of fact I will be there between 22 and 25 Jan'99. I would

very much like to meet you at that time; you may either send me email

or call me locally at (503) 666-3360. I look forward to seeing you

in person. I missed one of the best opportunities to meet fellow

bhaktas during the NAMA conference in Dallas at the end of December

last year because I was on travel. Now I have an opportunity to meet

one of you in Portland OR, and I sincerely hope we can get in touch.

Unfortunately I am not able to tell you of any religious associations

or temples in that area which I am aware of. Some of my relatives are

there over on the west side [beaverton, etc.] and perhaps they would

know more. In any event, I hope to hear from you.
