Taking photos in Moolasthanam of our temples

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs of Sriman narayana :

 

I can not agree more with Sriman Sridhar's and Sriman TatachAr's

views on this matter . Sri Rajan's views are respected but at the same time

it is clear that we are bringing PerumAL closer to many , who had not

the Darsana SoubhAgyam and the effect on them is incredible .

 

We ahve to wory more about the onslaught on sasmpradhAyic

AarAdhanam by authentic archakAs trained in depth in Aagamams

and not some one foisted by a noncarign government with absolute

political and monetaryt motivation .

 

V.Sadagopan
