Dateline for 1997-98

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatas,

 

The pupose of this mail is to say I am alive and thank all the Bhagavatas for

their postings and discussions which have been of immense value to me. As we

all know, Chittirai Vishu is around the corner. I just prepared the list of

festivals and other important dates for our temple. I thought I will share it

here. This list is by no means complete. If you have information on dates

such as Thirunakshatram of Sri Manavala Munigal, other Acharyas please post

them. I will add them on to our temple calander.
