Dear members,
As some of you may know, I am an astronomy PhD student
in the UK.
I will be visiting the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Research Centre
near
Washington DC, USA on work-related business this June. I
understand
this is very close to the Shiva-Vishnu temple at Lanham, MD. It
would
be my pleasure to meet with any members of the list who may live
in
the nearby area and are free around that time. My period of stay
will
probably be June 1st - June 13th 2008. I would be very happy to
find
out about any activities which may be going on at the temple in
the
evenings/weekends during this period.
Also, I would be very
interested to hear if any of those staying
locally know of any cheap
accommodation near the NASA/GSFC in
Greenbelt (I am on a student's budget
unfortunately!). Additionally,
I have heard that the GSFC canteen is
known for not being very
vegetarian-friendly and any suggestions of places
which might be
better equipped to cater for me would be welcome (I am
guessing the
temple does not do lunch-time "tadiyaaraadhanam",
otherwise I would
gladly go there every day!)
with regards and
praNaamams,
daasan
