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 bAghavathAswho
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
