Introduction Once Again

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am Manjula V. Sriram. My husband Sriram and I live in

Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My husband born in Kancheepuram is from

Madhurantakam. Both of us were members of this group, but I had left it a

few months back, and am back now.

To briefly tell about my family, our family is extremely orthodox,

and still follows traditional practices of kudumi and driking the

well water. Most of our family is in Madras, but some is in Tirupati, and

also in Kancheepuram. I am proud to be a part of such traditional family,

and in the past two years of being in the family, I have learnt a lot

about our traditions and culture. As in the past, I am extremely

interested in learning about our history and I will be more of a listener

than contributer.

We are currently working as Programmer Analysts in Milwaukee, and

hope to someday return to India and join our family in following the

traditional practices.

I am glad to be back, and am once again looking forward to

learning a lot from this group, especially about our saints. I also have

a lot of interest in Carnatic music, and have been working on playing

Carnatic Classical Ragas on the Sitar. If anyone has swaras of various

krithis, please email them to me @msriram

 

Sri Jagannath and Sri Rangaswamy following is my email which will be

permanent for now.

PS: By grace of Sriman Narayana, we have purchased our first house and

recently return from a divine trip from India where we had the opportunity

to go Madhurantakam, Kancheepuram and Tirupati. We went for the

Suprabhatam Seva, and Arjita Seva and performed Perumaal Kalyanam, and my

husband got to attend the chatumurai seva. During the Arjita seva, thanks

to one of my husband's uncle we spent 30 minutes in the darba mandiram,

which still was not enough. I especially was at loss of words when we

visited Vardharaja Perumaal in Kancheepuram. All in all it was a very

divine trip and we look forward to sharing more experience with our group

members.

 

Another request is: I will be in Oakland Area and would like to visit

atleast one or all temples but don't have the directions. If someone

could help me, I will appreciate it very much.

 

Thanks

(Sorry for such a long re-introduction, but I still have a lot to add)
