Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Is it possible to access any parts of last night's pujas from the website? Many of us who were with our families last night didn't get a chance to tune in to the webcast. Thanks for the wonderful description of the event; it makes me all the more desire to have been able to tune in! Rosetta > To all of you, brothers and sisters, Merry Christmas.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I was able to tune in for just over an hour. Saw aarati and a part of the fire worship although the audio was missing. It would be priceless to be able to see the evening's event in its entirity.
