[Rajarajeshwari_Kalpataru] Lalitha Trishathi Vivarana

February 25, 2007

Dear Shri Shriramji,

Saprem Namaskar

I am mailing a letter to Swami Rajagopalji. In case he can introduce someone from Thiruvananthapuram or Kerala well and good. If he is willing to undertake it as mentioned in your letter

it is Mothers kripakadaksha. Even if there is no response it hardly hurts me. The mother has decided

that the time has not yet come. Any way pranams to you.

Yours Sincerely

Dr. Harishankar
