[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Ramayana Masam special - Volunteers needed

July 25, 2007

Dear Member Devotees,

We need your help in reciting and recording Shlokas. If you are

willing to sing at least one shloka from last month's Nanvaneetham,

please send an email to Sukumar at sukumarcanada

We will need as many volunteers as possible and remember that your

name will appear in the final version of Shloka MP3.

I like Shri. Visveswaran's suggestion in this regards and request him

to be the first one to offer help with a few shlokas.

Your suggestions and replies are anticipated.

Om Namo Narayanaya:

Sunil.

Too much of music or raga alapana may not be appropriate.
