Any one coming to Boston from outside Boston ?

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

I wanted to know, if any one is coming from outside of Boston to attend the

Boston Workshop on Oct 15 2005.

I am writing this, becuaswe, Just now I was looking for flight cost (US$300+),

hotel(US$175+ for three nights) room and rental car (US$100+) and they are

getting expensive!

I am planning to come there on Friday(Oct 14th) evening and return on Monday(Oct

17th) morning as the Northwest non stop flight takes about 4+ hours one way, so

could not even plan on coming back on Sunday after the workshop as it will be

very late.

I did not realize that I have to take two days leave and spent this much money

to share my a little knowledge. Anyway, next time I will give a thought before

committing.

Earlier, I thought of staying with some one to reduce the expenses of Hotel and

rental car, but now I am thinking of renting the hotel and car myself.

So, I wanted to get the expenses less to get there to give my presentation by

sharing with some one the Hotel and Rental Car expenses.

So please write to me if some one is interested in sharing the Hotel and Rental

Car expenses with me.

RegardsRaghunatha RaoDo You

Dear Raghunath,

 

As I indicated to you earlier, I can arrange for your stay at my house or the

house of some friends in the same neighborhood. Last year, all the attendees

from other states/country stayed at my house and 2 Indian homes in a walking

distance. We made arrangements to pick up people at the airport and drive them

here and also drive them to/from the workshop venue. We all had dinner together

at my house and had astrological discussions after the dinner. It worked out

nicely.

 

We are going to do the same thing this year. So you are most welcome to stay

with us. We can pick you up at the airport and drop you at the airport. We can

give a ride to/from the workshop venue. We will take care of your breakfast,

lunch and dinner.

 

One of the days last year was Ganesh Chaturthi and we had a Ganesh pooja at my

house and all the out of station attendees took part in it. This time, October

16 is Pournima. So out of station attendees who are not in a hurry to leave on

Sunday night can attend our monthly Satya Narayana vratam.

 

We can pick you up at the airport at any time of Friday/Saturday, however late

in the night or early in the morning. Last time, I picked up one speaker at the

airport at 1:30 am and dropped another at the airport at 4:00 am (on another

day). Even though I will be busy with Satya Narayana vratam on Sunday night, I

can arrange for someone to drop you off even if you want to leave on Sunday

night during vratam. Basically, we can pick you up/drop you off at the airport

at ANY time on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

First of all, no knowledge is "little". Your guru has a lot of confidence in

your knowledge and hence so do I.

 

Secondly, we will try to reimburse you for the travel. Though the events I

organize are always based on voluntary donation rather than set fees, we have

always genrated enough money to meet our needs thanks to the kind donations

from attendees. Though I do not like to guarantee it, we may be able to

reimburse you for the travel. In fact, we had a surplus last year and it was

given to SJC, India.

 

Thirdly, I am sorry to know that you are feeling that you may not have given

enough thought before committing. While I will be very glad to have you here, I

do not want you to do it unhappily. If you feel that you have made a wrong

decision and have your guru's permission to undo it, please note that there are

no hard feelings from my end. Your happiness is my happiness in this matter. I

don't want to compel you because you committed.

 

I hope my condemnation in the puzzle cheating case has nothing to do with this

and that you are not feeling unwelcome as a result of it. As the list admin, it

is my responsibility to be stern, warn people when something is established

beyond reasonable doubt, send a clear message when someone offends and try to

maintain the sanctity of the cherished traditions of the list. You will not

meet the administrator of vedic astrology list at the workshop, but you will

meet the organizer of the workshop who is a humble student of Jyotisha and has

great respect for your guru and hence you. You will certainly be most welcome.

 

If you still feel that you made a mistake and did not think enough before

committing, I will be happy to give you a chance to correct it. I am planning

to start advertizing the event locally and on the lists this week. Please let

me know soon, so that I can make alternate arrangements and send out a mail to

various people. But I do hope you decide to come and, more importantly, come

happily and not out of a compulsion.

 

You can communicate with me via private email (pvr (AT) charter (DOT) net) or call me at 508-963-6273 (cell).

We are just about to start advertizing the greater Boston workshop locally. I

will also send a mail to the lists soon. But, please note that any attendees

who want to stay near my house and get a ride to/from the airport are most

welcome to contact me (pvr (AT) charter (DOT) net) or my wife (paddulu (AT) hotmail (DOT) com). We

should be able to arrange accommodation with local Indian families and airport

rides. We will also be happy to provide Indian vegetarian dinner at our house

on both the days. The workshop is a free event and there is no set fee, but you

are welcome to make voluntary donations based on your capability.

 

I will send out a more detailed mail next week.

Let me add a little astrological content to this mail.

 

Take the lunar new year chart of London. It is cast on 2005 April 8, at 8:32:36

pm (1 hour east of GMT).

 

Take the compressed Vimsottari dasa (compressed to the lunar year). Venus dasa

was running on July 7, 2005.

 

In the rasi chart, Venus is the lagna lord, but in marana karaka sthana. In

Rudramsa (D-11, chart of death and destruction), Venus is the 3rd and 8th lord

exalted in lagna. Moreover, he is with Rahu. Thus, Venus dasa shows some

violence that comes as a shock.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Om Krishna Guru

 

Namaste Narsimha Ji,

 

Thanks for the reply. I am coming to the Boston Workshop to

give my little knowledge to my fellow studetns as planned and

there is no change on the commitment for this time. So

please go ahead and make your workshop arrangement accordingly.

 

I have buried the puzzle stuff already and do not like to talk

with you or list Admin or Workshop organizer any more about that

and also, it has nothing to do with my this message. I have

expressed (sincerely), that I did not realized a lot of

money is involved in me coming for this, till I got today

to book my air tickets and hotel and car hence I wrote that.

 

Anyways, thanks for your offer and I will wait for any reply

from any one who is also coming from outside like me and wiling to

share the hotel and car rental with me. That would be my first

option as I do not like obligations and prefer to be like that.

 

If some one is coming to Boston and willing to share with me,then

I request them reply to me privately. Other folks, there is no need

for any further communication in this please.

 

Regards

Raghunatha Rao
