Dear Hari-bhaktas,
 
By the grace of Lord Almighty Venkata Krishna, the blessings of our beloved Swamiji, Paryaaya Peethadhipati HH Shri Sugunendra Tirtharu, and the enthusiastic support of the entire community, the 353rd Aaradhana of Shri Raghavendra Swamy was conducted yesterday (25th Aug 2024) in a grand manner.

More than 600 devotees gathered through the day to witness and participate in the Pooja, Abhisheka, Pallaki Seva and Maha mangalarati. The hall was resounding with sounds of Veda mantras,  Vishnu Sahasra Naama, Hari Vayu Stuti, Rayara stotra & Ashtottara along with the Mangala-naada  of JaagaTe-Shankha-Chakrataala, and numerous bhajans.

Devotees thronged to offer Sankalpa and Sevas ranging from Archana to Shaaligraama Daana. All in attendance were served delicious Udupi-style Mahaprasaada in traditional fashion on banana leaves by our tireless volunteers. Wonderful Kalaarchana was offered through the day by many artistes ranging from little children & youth to elders.

All in all, it was a divine occasion with blessings showered up on all by Guru Raghavendra Swami.

We particularly appreciate all the volunteers and sponsors for their kind and tireless support in spending innumerable hours working on preparations and execution - planning, groceries, vegetable, prasaada & bag preparation, procurement, transportation, arrangement, pooja yeDa-bala seva, cooking, audio/video/photos, front-desk, flyers, serving, cleaning and overall coordination … all with smiling devotion to Shri Hari Vayu Guru!

May Raayaru-antargata Seetapati Ramachandra''s blessings upon all, and to continue and grow this grand tradition so SVKV Austin can host 1000+ devotees next year with your support!

Hare Shrinivasa! Hare Krishna!

Shri Venkata Krishna Vrundavana, Austin
