Dear Friends and Devotees,
April will be a very busy month for us this year. We begin with our Ramnavami/Foundation Day Celebration on the 6th. This will also include a violin concert by Sri Milind Raikar and his son Yadnesh at 4 pm the same day. The following Sunday we will have a lecture by Swami Shantivratananda, head of the Eire Vedanta Society in Ireland, and the following Sunday a talk by Swami Vimohananda from the Vivekananda Vedanta Society of British Columbia.
We also have Memorial Services for two of our very dear devotees who passed away earlier this year. One for Chitra Nair on Saturday April 12 at 11:30 am and the second for Sibsankar Rana on Saturday April 26 11:30 am. Ramnam Sankirtan will be held on Saturday April 5 at 7:30 pm.
