Jai Sreeman Narayana!

Sriman Sarathy,

Yes , there is lot of load on Sri Sri HH Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji.
I was blessed to be with Swamiji in Washington DC, I can really feel the pain 
Swamiji is going
thru.

It is our duty to share the pain and load.

Let's all come together and stand together in stopping the Tirumal Tirupathi 
Destrcution.
Let's respond ny signing on the Petition http://www.zeroguru.com/LatestNews.htm.

I request all bhagavatha's to comeforward and fight to stop the destruction.

Please let me know your suggestions.

Adiyan,
Ramakanth Ramanuja Dasa
