24 hour MahaMritunjay jaap Durga Mandir (small hall) Kingston NJ USA

December 3, 2006

Dear New York Tomes editor/Staff:

I have attached a press release, and a colorful flyer describing in more

detail a 24 hour vigil and ceremony to promote fearlessness and peace, being

held Dec. 30 (10AM) through Dec. 31 (10 AM) in at the Durga Temple in

Kingston, (Central) New Jersey.

The ceremony consists of Sanskrit mantra (sacred sound) repetion, and Vedic

rituals that facilitate meditation. The mantra being repeated is the

Mahamritunjay Mantra, designed to remove fear. This era of fear that we live

in (Terrorism, Global Warming, to name two) has inspired the community to

put this ceremony and celebration together.

All are welcomed, regardless of religious affiliation, or race. English

transliteration of the four line mantra is available for all who need.

Snacks and beverages will be available throughout the 24 hour period. No one

is required to stay the whole time, and no one will be prevented from

snoozing. One does not need to have any prior knowledge or practice in order

to participate, only the willingness to participate.

We hope you find some room in your pages for this event. It is of interest

to a significant number of Central New Jersey residents, as well as New

Yorkers, both South Asians, American born South Asians, and anyone who

practices yoga.

For more information, please contact the main coordinators of the event:

Ms. Rajyalaxmi Shaha 609-936-0263

Mr. Bipin Jadav 201-724-3374

If you wish to get a relatively uneducated, yet enthusiastic western point

of view please feel free to call me. Thank you for your time.
