UPDATE 2: Paaraayanam on Saturday, 31st March 2018 (in 2 days from today)

[Vasudevan Raghavan]

Namaste All, 

We have received the following confirmations so far:

Host family: 4 adults

Smt. & Sri. Ramakrishna Rao: 2 adults (they are bringing Puliogare)

Smt. Surya Somasundaram: 1 adult

Sri. Sathyanarayanan Purana: 1 adult (he will bring Rava Upma and Coconut Chutney)

Sri. Prasad Nandamuri : 1 adult, 1 kid  (he will bring Peanut Chutney)

Sri. Balaji Sridharan: 1 adult

Total headcount 10 adults & 1 kid

More confirmations are welcome -- we still have ONE full day to go

Our address is given below:

Trams: 11 & 21 --> Schwalbacher Strasse is the name of the stop (we are about 7 minutes walking distance from the tram stop)

S-Bahn: Galluswarte is the nearest station (again about 7 minutes walking distance -- or you can take Bus No. 52 from there)

Bus: Bus No. 52 (Paul Hindemuth Schule is the nearest bus stop - 3 to 4 minutes by walk)

We look forward to a sizable participation in this FIRST PAARAAYANAM of the Spring Season (it happens to be a Pournami - Full Moon day -- normally Sathyanarayan Pooja is done on a Full Moon day - this Paaraayanam that we do is as good as a Sathyanarayan Pooja though we have not labelled it as such) 

Being Hanumath Jayanthi as well, we could chant Hanuman Chalisa if there are enough texts to go around and if enough people are ready to do it (it could take an additional 15 minutes or so)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
With warm regards

Namaste to ALL

We would like to invite all of you for a Paaraayanam at our residence on Saturday, 31st March 2018 (in 3 days from today) starting from 1800 Hrs. We realize that this is indeed a short notice and that many of you may have already planned for some outing in view of the long weekend, nevertheless, whoever is available in town may kindly make it convenient to come over and grace the occasion

The Paaraayanam will be followed by Aarathi, Prasadam and a pot-luck dinner. 

We would like to suggest the following menu for the pot-luck dinner:

Idli, Uppuma, Sevai (rice noodles), Pongal, different varieties of Chutney etc (please use your creativity and think of some more items)

We will prepare the Prasadam & the Sambhar

Kindly let us know who will be attending and what item you would be bringing

Looking forward to a memorable Paaraayanam to kick-start the SPRING SEASON !!
