Dear Sri Mani Varadarajan, The reasons are clearly spelt out in Sri Ranganatha Paduka - May issue. Perhaps you can get in touch with Shyam or Venkat and go through this. We understand (i am told - i have not read it myself) that the other great Mutt has advised that Thalai Avani Avittam has to be performed on July 13th though the Gayatri Japam has to be performed on 12th August only. May i also take thsi opportunity to seek your and Sri Narasimhan Krishnachari's consent in reprinting some (in Paduka)of the most beautiful articles that he has authored on Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam that are in your archives? Warmest regards.
