Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 HARI AUM With the permission of our moderator Shree Sunil Menon I am posting this info. Kindly do the needful Regards Balagopal NARAYANA NARAYANA NARAYANA Dear Balagopal, I visited the website and it seems they have reached the fund raising goal. That is good news. As it is a community related event, you may post it to the group. I generally suggests to avoid controversial or extreme subjects. Regards Sunil. - Balagopal R sunil Saturday, July 29, 2006 2:24 AM personal HARI AUM Dear Shree Sunil, Sidharth, s/o Mrs Devika Rajan is attempting a very laudable adventure. The matter below details the programme. Devika and me are alumni at Kendriya Vidyalaya Ernakulam. Kindly pass this to as many as possible. I have deliberately not posted this in our GVR forum directly since we need to keep it focussed to matters most related directly or indirectly to our Lord at GVR. If you feel that the necessary part of the mail can be send to any of the forum members directly you shall do it so. Hope you will bear with me for the trouble.
