[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

This is a GR8 News for More Devi Bhaktas.

 

My Devotion and Soulful Prayers are with trust founder, > Amritananda Natha Saraswati (N. Prahalada Sastry),> and the > Kanakamahalakshmi Ammavari Devastanam Chairman,> Vankyala Sanyasi.

 

Kindly keep me updated on the same so I will try my Best to Visit the Same when I am in Kerala for my Next Vacation.

 

I always visit Sri Mookambika Devi Temple In Kollur on each and every Vacation. Hopefully I can try to visit the Temple when Devi permits me to .

 

pranam,

Babitha
