SRI DHEERENDRA THEERTHARU - Phalguna Shukla Trayodashi ( Hosaritthi)

[Guest guest]

Namaskara,

There is one correction. The Ardhanna falls in Shukla

Paksha not Krishna Paksha. It was a cut and paste

mistake.

 

SRI DHEERENDRA THEERTHARU-Phalguna Shukla Trayodashi

(Hosaritthi)

 

I would like to thank Sri G.R.Raghunatha Rao for

correcting this mistake.

I feel after late BNK Sharma, he is constantly posting

on groups about all the yatigalu details, history,

etc. He has a good collection of Dasha Sahithya, etc,.
