Re: AchArya thirunakshattiram celebrations

 

 

Priya Bhagavad bandhus!

Jai srimannarayana!

We have gone through the details of the program

organized for the A:cha:rya thirunakshatra function.

You can name it as " A:cha:rya A:ra:dhanam "

collectively. We are trying to send a small message by

phone, if possible or else, we are asking Sriman

Venkatesan to be there by that time to give our message

to all of our bandhus.

Hearing the details.

Jai Srimannarayana!
