Priests Appreciation Day at Datta Temple in Baton Rouge

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta

 

Dear Datta devotees,

 

With Sri Swamiji's blessings, The Datta Temple in Baton Rouge is getting ready

to celebrate for the first time, "Priests Appreciation Day" on Sunday, November

28, 2004 at Sri Jayalakshmi Mata Bhavan. There will be felicitations,

entertainment, and lunch. We invite and encourage all of you to generously

participate.

 

As many of you are aware, our priests here, Sri Sankaramanchi Sarma, and Sri

Sreenivasa Sastry extend their services well beyond their call of duty. They not

only serve as priests at the altar, but also conduct numerous special pujas,

rituals, and homas sponsored by the temple, and also at the request of the

people in the community. They support several other activities at the temple.

Our priests serve the community nation-wide by traveling extensively to perform

marriages, and rituals in homes and temples. They eagerly suggest and support

religious activities to ward off difficulties, and to ensure peace, on an

individual, family, and community basis, patiently explaining the procedures,

and their meanings to those who are new to this culture

 

The Priests Appreciation Day gives us all a chance to say, "Thank You".

 

Those who would like to send in their expressions of appreciation via e-mail, or

US mail, please send them to me by noon Saturday, so that they can be nicely put

together and presented to the priests at the function.

 

If you have any suggestions or questions, please call 225-677-8140 or

225-773-0746

 

Thank you for your participation.

 

Sincerely,

Suri Duvvuri

 

Sri Guru Datta
