Dear Sri LakshmiNarasimhan Srinivasaraghavan :

It is such a pleasure to read your account of the Maasa Thirunakshathram
celebrations at Thiruvaheendhrapuram . I felt like I was there .
Thank you .

Your suggestion of  sishyAs and abhimAnis of Sri Matam to take part in
future Maasa Thirunakshathrams at PuLLambhUthangudi ,
AadhanUr , KumbakONam / Thirukkudanthai , Melkote and ThiruvallikkENi
is a very good one . The climax of all these events is the grand celebration 
of
the SathAbhishEkam at Srirangam on Novemebr 30 ,2006 .

Hope we will all be fortunate to be there on that sacred day .
Thanks again ,
V.Sadagopan
