Almost all the participants have now mastered the sequences of the procedures and the Mantras associated in a short period of time. They now feel happy that they have been piloted to the mainstream and have vowed to continue doing Trikaala SV for the rest of their lives. All the credit goes to asmad Achaaryan, Srimad Andavan, Poundarika puram Swami Asramam, Srirangam who is very strict in insisting on the performance of SV and is the motive force behind this effort. I had the Bhaagyam of informing him of the successful completion. Naturally, he was extremely happy. Many other aspirants have petitioned for the commencement of the next session. Some have also desired starting of classes for " Tiruvaaraadanam " . We will try our best to accommodate them at an early date. An announcement will be made as soon as the details are finalized. --- IN THIS ISSUE 1. IMPORTANT DAYS IN PANGUNI (MEENA) MONTH 2.
