Acharya Vaibhavam Celebration at Buffalo, NY - Sept. 29

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhaktas:

 

The town of Buffalo has a small yet enthusiastic community of Sri

Vaishnavas. The Hindu Cultural Center at Buffalo, the Ramanuja Mission

Inc., and Swami Desika Darsana Satsangam have joined together to celebrate

the Vaibhavam of our acharyas on the occassion of Tiru Venkatamudaiyan and

Swami Desikan's Tirunakshatram. Swami Desikan is one of the greatest

acharyas of all times and the best way to pay tribute to him is celebrating

the Vaibhavam of all acharyAs of Ramanuja Sampradayam.

 

We are very happy that a number of devotees from New Jersey, Chicago and

Toronto are planning to join us. We have tried to integrate the temple

programs with the conference that will be blessed by great speakers.

All-in-all it will provide a great opportunity for a sat-sangham with fellow

Sri-Vaishnavas and other devoted asthikAs. Please try join and if you need

accommodation please e-mail adiyEn.
