More last minute confirmations are welcome -- do not worry about what food item to bring. Your mere presence will be a blessing to us
Our address is given below:
Schwalbacher Str 100
60326 Frankfurt am Main
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 Sathyanarayana 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)
We checked the Panchaangam and today is NOT Hanumath Jayanthi -- BUT nevertheless we could chant still 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)
