That's a new one for me! I never heard of Akshaya

Triteeya day, and I am usually up on my Hindu/Vedic

holidays! Now for an upcoming special day I do know:

 

Wed. April 28 is Sita Jayanti - "birthday" of Mother

Sita. Consort of Lord Rama, not the anti-prostitution

law SITA (Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act). Gotta

love those Indian acronyms!!!

 

 

BTW, it's sure nice to get a real message from Kenna.

I am #$%&(*(* sick of those bogus warnings sent from

an infected computer allegedly claiming to be Kenna.
