Dear Sri Hari Bhaktas,

By the grace of Sri Hari, Vayu, Gurugalu, Sri

Jayatheertha aradhane will be celebrated in our home in Allentown on July

10-11. Sri Jayatheertha, also known as Sri Teekacharya,

was the commentator par excellence for the works of Sri Madvacharya.

Nyaya Sudha was his magnum opus. His moola brindavana is in Malkhed near

Gulbharga. All are welcome.

The program consists of devarapooje, aradhane,

hastodaka to Sri Jayatheertha, alankara pankti, theertha prasada (lunch), lectures

by scholars, devaranaama music concert in Hindustani style by Srimathi

Sangeetha Katti Kulkarni (visiting from Bangalore), dinner, sathsangha with

sajjanaru. As in the previous years, accommodation will be provided to out of

town visitors in host homes in Allentown area.

Theertha prasada will conform to the chaathurmaasa

vratha austerities. Please note that only kallu sakkere (sugar candy) and

vratha preparations are offered as naivedya to our Lord and hence please do not
