Sri Puthige Swamiji's America Trip to Conclude

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

 

Sri Sri Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji is now set to

return to India after completing His tour in the

United States, which took more than five months.

Swamiji and entourage visited follwowing 18 states:

 

New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,

Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky,

Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas,

California, Washington and Arizona.

 

Swamiji covered about 50 different cities of above

states, spreading the message of Sri Krishna, through

Bhagavad Geetha discourses and message of Sri

Madhwacharya through lectures on Madhwa Philosophy.

 

Swamiji visited about 18 temples and approximately 400

houses, where either Maha Pooja or Tottilu Pooja or

Pada Pooja were arranged.

 

It was a great pleasure for me to work as a

coordinator of Swamiji's tour. Apart from day to day

planning of Swamiji's tour programme, I could also

make it to visit to some places and witness the Puja

of Sri Vittala Devaru.

 

I observed a great deal of interest and enthusiam

among devotees. Due to lack of time, it was not

possible to give opportunity for some of the devotees

for hosting Maha Puja or Tottilu Puja and I regret for

that.

 

 

Swamiji's troup members, viz, Sri. Vadisha Acharya,

Sri Prasanna Acharya, Sri Srisha Bhat and Sri

Ramamohan Kodancha were appreciated by devotees.

 

Vadisha Achar, being a senior most member among the

troop inspired all by his 'Bhava Poorna Bhajans'.

 

Prasanna Acharya, being a secretary to Swamiji, could

capture the attention of people by his good public

relation skills.

 

Sri Srisha Bhat was very prompt and punctual in making

arrangements for the Maha Puja and Tottilu Puja.

 

'Sri Ramamohan Kodancha' (another name for 'Udupi

Aduge'!?) - I think, people can never forget him for

his ability to cook very fast and efficiently.

 

Because of Swamiji's visit, a lot of devotees could

come together and get to know each other. The

spiritual implication of Swamiji's visit is beyond my

words.

 

A lot of programme were organized during Swamiji's

visit. Notable among them were Sri Jaya Theertha

Aaraadhana, Sri Raghavendra Swami Aaraadhana and

Makkala Sammelana (at Washington DC and Phoenix).

 

I am thankful to all the hosts and local coordinators

for their cooperation and help in coordinating

Swamiji's tour.

 

Devotees from New York/New Jersey and surrounding area

will be bidding farewill to Swamiji by organizing 'Sri

Krishna Tulabhara' function at Ganesh Temple, Flushing

on Jan 8th.

 

Swamiji and group will be leaving to India on the

evening of 9th January from Newark International

Airport.

 

Let us all look forward for a 'blessing message' from

Sri Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji and let us all Wish A

Happy and Safe Journey to Swamiji and His group.

 

With Srimannarayana Smaranas

 

Keshavaraja
