Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Special Activities Planned at Datta Temple Dear Devotees and Satsang Coordinators, Jai Guru Datta. During Sri Swamiji’s recent visit to Canada I had an opportunity to discuss in detail some of the activities we would like to conduct during 2006 and 2007 year with your cooperation and support. Swamiji not only blessed us to start these but He strongly encouraged us to do it. Following two projects are being planned to be undertaken. 1. Anagha Vratam: By Sri Swamiji’s birthday in May 2007 we are requesting all the devotees and other friends to complete 1008 Anagha Ashtami Vratams. Satsang Coordinators or designated devotees are requested to take the lead in keeping a count of the Vratams and Arti collections each time puja is performed. It would be nice to set aside Aarti collection for Jaya Lakshmi Maata Anna Dana Trust in Mysore. Interested devotees can start performing Anagha Ashtami Vratam during Shraavan Maasam which started on Wednesday July 26, 2006. The procedure for counting of the Vratams is the same as we did last time. NOTE: Please let me know the count of Anagha Vrathams performed so far by September 18, 2006. SPECIAL PRASADAM: Any body who wants to sponsor the Anagha Vrathams (irrespective of the number of Vrathams performed) for $51 or more will receive Special Prasadam 2. Kaarthik (November) Maasa Activity – November 4-5, 2006: Rudrabhishekam & Laksharchana for Swamiji All the devotees are requested to gather in Baton Rouge during November 4-5, 2006, week end remembering Sri Swamiji without His physical presence. As per instruction of Sri Swamiji the names of the attendees will be sent to Mysore. The idea is to develop a tradition of gathering of all the devotees once a year without Swamiji’s actual physical visit. This year with Sri Swamiji’ s blessings we have decided to gather on November 5, 2006, (Kaarthisk Masam). Following program has been scheduled tentatively. Saturday (November 4) : a. Lakshaarchana by chanting 108 names of Sri Swamiji for His health and longevity. Timings will be worked out later. b. Srinivas Kalyanam Sunday (November 5): Rudra Abhishekham Priests in Baton Rouge will conduct Mahanaysa Poorvaka Ekadashah Rudrabhishekham for Lord Shiva. Note: All those who can chant Rudra Namakam and Chamakam are strongly encouraged to participate in the chanting. We strongly request those who can Chant to inform us ahead of time so that we can organize the event more efficiently and include you in the program to chant. PLEASE CALL: For clarification or more information, please call me at 601-856-4783/cell: 601-942-2248. Thank you for your cooperation and support. Let us make the gathering a grand success and show dear Appaji how much we love Him and feel His presence all the time.
