Brahmotsavam at Sri Mahalakshmi temple, Boston.

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

The Brahmotsavam for Sri Lord Venkataeswara is beginning with

Dwajarohanam today at the Boston Sri Mahalakshmi temple. We would like

to invite all of you to come and participate. This year is specially

exciting as a grand Garuda Vahana complete with pedestal, like you see

typically in the temples of India, arrived last week, just in time for

the Brahmotsavam. The Vahanam is beautiful and with pedestal is about

5 feet in height.

 

Due to non-availability of all Vahanams and resources, right now the

Brahmotsavam is celebrated in a shorter scale, with Garuda Vahanam,

Kalyana Utsavam, ThiruthEr, Guthirai Vahanam, etc., In the past years

we have also had TheppOtsavam and Theerthavari and I think they will

be added this yera too.

 

There was a mix up of dates in my earlier post and sincere apologies

for the same. Please refer to www.srilakshmitemple.org for complete

details.

 

This year the Garuda Vahanam is to be celebrated tomorrow, ie.

Saturday, June 9th, around 6 pm, followed by kalyana Utsavam.

The Vahanam is very heavy and the Bhattars estimate that some 16-20

able bodied men of appx the same height would be needed for the

PuRappadu, aside from others needed for Kudai, etc.,

We request all those who can attend to come and participate and all

those who can come and help in the Purappadu to please be at the

temple on Sat at 5 p.m.

 

Please also inform your friends of the celebrations.
