Jeear's visit to USA is taking place!

[Guest guest]

As a follow-up to my posting of yesterday evening, it appears

that despite the VISA complications, HH Sri Tridandi Jeear Swamy

is intending to continue on with at least part of his tour of the

USA and Europe.

>From what I understand, the US Consulate in Chennai has denied

VISAS for the entourage of HH's priests, but has allowed HH and

and one of his chief attendants to continue ahead with their

travels. They are intending to start their program in Washington

DC, which is reaching the conclusion of a kOti kumkumArchana that

it had started in February. Two of HH's priests are already here

for this event and will be accompanying him in his travels.

Other cities are yet to be determined, but given the significant

reduction in priests who can serve the Jeear in his travels, it

appears that the tour will have to be shortened. I will keep

you posted as I learn more.

 

It is clear that the significant reduction in attending priests

may cause some discomfort to HH during his visit. Those of you

who have had the opportunity to meet him know that HH is

absolutely dedicated to maintaining strict AchAram in accordance

with sampradAyam whenever and wherever his travels lead him. It

is only out of his desire to fulfill the requests of his sishyans

that HH is continuing on with this trip. So, I sincerely request

all of you to make the effort to visit the places that he will be

visiting and serve him to the best of your abilities, so that Sri

Jeear Swamy's visit will be a safe and comfortable for him, his

entourage, and the Perumal that travels with him.
