Dear Friends,

Hare Krishna. Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to

Srila Prabhupada.

As you might have noted from the previous email, at 11 pm on

Janmastami day (August 31st, Saturday) we will be performing an

abhisekh (bathing) ceremony of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna Deities. On

September 1, Sunday, as part of the installation ceremony of Sri Sri

Sita, Ram, Laxman and Hanuman Deities we will also be performing

Their abhisekh. Also on Sunday we will be celebrating Srila

Prabhupada's Vyasa Puja and it will include an abhisekh of

Prabhupada Deity.

 

We are offering hand carved gold plated kalasha's that we have

brought from India. This time you can bathe Radha, Krishna, Sita,

Ram, Laxman, Hanuman and Prabhupada Deities with a GOLD PLATED

KALASH and later use it in your various puja ceremonies at home.

 

As you know that our Temple has obtained a Conditional Use Permit

for the construction of a new Temple building. We are in the process

of getting the design drawings prepared which will be required to

obtain the building construction permit and for construction of the

new building. To help raise some funds we are requesting you to

kindly donate $501 or more and take home a gold plated kalash as a

Souvenir for Janmastami2002. If it is not possible for you give all

of $501 at once, you can reserve a kalash for $101 and pledge to

give the rest by the end of the year.

 

If you need any additional information please feel free to call me

at 425-643-4664 or Aja das (Ajay Goyal) at 425-653-0476. Thank you
