Subject: A Summary of Sri Ahobila Mutt USA's 2008 AchArya Day and Sri 
Jayanthi Celebrations

Sri:

With the blessings of Sri Malolan and Sri Dolai Kannan, anugraham of our 
AchAryAs, dedication and bakthi of bAghavathAs, the 2008 AchArya Day and Sri 
Jayanthi function was celebrated in a grand manner last Sunday, Aug 31st, in 
Potomac, Maryland, USA.

Priest Sri Paravastu Raghavan swAmin from Sri Ranganatha Temple, Pomona, NY, 
USA performed the Thirumanjanam in the morning and ArAdhanam in the evening 
for DOlai Kannan. After Thirumanjanam, MAlOlan alankAram (with copious 
amounts of flowers) for Dolai Kannan was really a delectable sight. That was 
followed by morning sAtrumurai and a sumptuous prasadam (prepared by local 
area AndAL gOshti) that was served in the lawn adjacent to the gOshALA of 
the HarE KrishnA temple. The left over food was served to the cows in the 
gOshALA. After lunch, the afternoon program started with kids talent show. 
It was an amazing show by kids dressed as Lord Krishna and Gopikas singing 
bhajans, dancing etc... As one of the local bhAghavathAs put it "There was 
KrishnAnubhavam all around".

The evening program started with chariot alankAram for Kannan. Sri 
VishnuSahasranAmam recitation was followed by Sri Sannidhi evening 
NithyAnusandhAnam. The highlight of the evening program was rathOthsavam. 
One could clearly witness the radiant smile beaming from Lord Krishna's face 
Who was proudly showing off His new set of wheels. More than hundred 
devotees sang kirtans and took turns to pull the chariot.

It was indeed a pleasure to be in the company of a sizeable number of local 
and out-of-town bhAghavathAs. There were some very dedicated bAghavathAs who 
came all the way from Texas, Indiana and even Seattle. Thanks to all the 
dedicated volunteers and bAghavathAs who were instrumental in making this 
event a memorable one. Special thanks to all the out-of-town bAghavathAs, 
who took the extra effort to attend this event.

Srimad Azhagiyasingar ThiruvadigaLiLE charanam,
adiyEn RAmAnuja dAsan,
Krishna Badrinath
