Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Dear Shri Balagopalji I also agree with this suggestion of booking a pooja in the name of our group if the rules and regulations are relaxed. Rs. 50,000/- is not a small sum and if one can be a part and parcel of this pooja by contributing small amounts, nothing great like that . This will also create a feeling of togetherness among the members (which is there already), but will become still stronger Whether, we can make our presence felt to Guruvayoor administraton depends on them, however, I am sure many more will be attracted to this group and the strength will grow Sincerely Syamala Sincerely Syamalabalagopal ramakrishnan <rbalpal wrote: HARI AUMShree Menon's suggestion deserves every bit of ourattention.The reasons are:1.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Dear Balagopalji Your idea is really very good. Two to three families joining and doing the pooja is a great idea. Everybody cannot afford this huge amount and if two three families join together then there will be a sense of togetherness. This must be really given a thought.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Dear members, Ohm Narayanaya Namah I am glad to see this suggestion is welcomed. But there are problems ahead. It is easy to say two, three or even four families join together one day to perform the Udayastamaya Pooja. Besides those who have already booked may have their own agenda and schedule. Even Administrator and his staff members will have problems to organize this. 1. We need to fix a number say 3 families to perform one day. 2. We need time and a plan to create a list of those who are willing to accommodate on a specific day and administration can take a lottery from the volunteers. 3. I think, beginning 2007 will give enough time for administration and also those who have already booked, to adjust their personal preferences. 4. I am sure all those who have booked already are willing to share for this one lifetime achievement with at least 2 more families. ente Guruvayoorappan ennathinnu pakaram nammude Guruvayoorappan aayirikkum Nallathu 5. If administration is accepting this proposal, there should be lot of volunteers to help them for this task and I am sure will be plenty. These are my thinking and I hope more inputs will be forthcoming to assist the administrator and his staff members to minimise the waiting period. I am placing this to our Sunil and other learned members of this group to re-group ideas that can be presented to the administration for their consideration and taking appropriate action.
