America
for permission to use the
detailed write up in Sanskrit and Tamil on Saama
UpAkarma PrayOgam released by
Sri Matam during the past SvabhAnu year .
AdiyEn is pleased to let you
know that Sriman Rajaji , President of Ahobila
Matam NA will
be placing the Saama Veda UpAkarmA PrayOgam in the
Ahobila
Matam Web site to help with
the performance of the UPAkarma . The web site
is http://www.ahobilamutt.org / This help
from Ahobila Mutt NA is a kaimkaryam
to the VaishNavite community

Singar during the occasion of Yajur UpAkarma .
Our sincere Thanaks are to
Sriman Rajaji for his welcome help .

UpAkarmAs ( Rg, Yajur and Saama Vedam with a good sampling

KumbakONam with the
participation by an authority on SamskArAs there .
There would be need for
