"Need your generous donations to support a 9 Year old Boy Named "Girish

Sharma"

 

I am deeply saddened to report the death of our revered Nashville Priest

Sri Suryanarayana Sharma and his wife Smt. Anasuyamma from a tragic

automobile accident on September 12, 2005 in Athens, Alabama. He is

survived by his 9 year old son Girish, who was in his school when this

tragic accident took place in Alabama. Girish had no idea of the death

of both his parents at the same time till about last Thursday.

Yesterday, Sri Ganesha Temple and the Hindu community of Nashville

performed a memorial Service honoring the beloved priest and his wife

followed by a funeral.

 

Girish had requested that we send him to India to join the remaining

members of his family in India. He wants to attend his old school. As

you all know, it is a very difficult task for a 9 year old child to deal

with the loss of both his parents as well as deal with the hardships of

life without funds to take care of his needs. I encourage each one of

you to please come forward and help this poor child in need of moral and

financial support. There can not be a greater cause in life than

supporting a small child like this. It was heart breaking to witness

Girish next to his parents Coffins yesterday! It almost appears that

Lord Ganesha loved the priest and his wife so much that he invited them

to his abode sooner than he originally planned and delegated the

responsibility of the child to us. It is our duty to take care of Girish

.. Please help him.

 

Sri Suryanarayana Sharma was born in Hunasenahalli, Kolar District in

the state of Karnataka on November 3, 1964. He received the priesthood

training at Sri Vaidika Dharma Patashala in Bangalore. He worked in

various temples in the state of Karnataka prior to coming to Sri Ganesha

Temple. He was well liked by all the devotees and had the highest

respect for him.

 

Your donations may be made to Sri Ganesha Temple for " Girish Sharma

Trust Fund" and mail your checks to

 

Sri Ganesha Temple

P.O. Box 210705

Nashville, TN 37221

 

 

Girish would leave for India in about a week after finishing the legal

formalities in USA. He is currently a Greeen Card Holder , but it

appears that he may loose his status as he has no means to support his

permanent Residency .

 

So please act fast and mail your checks. Please note that all donations

to Sri Ganesh temple are tax exempt . Dont forget to mention that the

donations are for "GIRISH SHARMA TRUST FUND"
