As in the previous years, there will be devarapooje, aradhane and hastodaka to Sri Jayatheertharu, alankaara pankti, theertha prasada to all (chaathurmaasa vratha preparations), lectures by scholars and sathsangha with pious devotees. There will be a devaranaama concert by Sri Madhav Gudi, the primary deciple of Sri Bhimsen Joshi in the evening, followed by dinner. All are welcome.

Accommodation will be provided for out of town devotees on both Friday, Jul 14 and Saturday July 15. For out of town devotees arriving on Friday, Jul 14, please let us know the head count and the approximate arrival time in Allentown and we will keep the dinner ready in our home.
