Hare Srinivasa!

Namaskara to all:

We are planning to continue the tradition we started last year of having a Children's bhajana group at Mettilothsava. Based on feedback from the last year, we have split the children in to two groups: Children 9 and under and 10 and above. There will be adults leading the children group under 9 kids. However, children 10 and above are encouraged to lead bhajans /songs that they can sing well. As we are coming close to the date of the Mettilothsava, please encourage them to practice the songs, based on the list from last year. A new list will also be posted within a day.

We plan to convene on Saturday to confirm the song leads before Sunday's Mettilothsava.

Thank you for your support and providing encouragement to your kids.

Veena, Pratima and Anita.

(jiGYAsAdhikaraNam.h, a verse from Sriman Nyaya Sudha)(Meaning from Srimad Bhagawad Gita (The song Olympian) by Sri G V Nadgauda.[Devotion to Lord] (bhakthi) is the invariable & continuous flow of ardent

affection to God, undettered by varied frustrations in life, [excelling the attachment to self, our kindred & other lovable assets] (vairagya), reinforced by [sound knowledge] (jnAna) & solid conviction of His glory &

greatness, as the sole independent Power, the abode of all auspicious attributes, free from foibles. As such, it differs from blind belief & selfish live. It should be founded on an unshakable intellectual &

emotional conviction in the Majesty of the Lord- as the embodiment of all spiritual excellences.
