Srimatha Ramanujaaya Namaha!

HH Swamiji’s visit concluded yesterday.  I am extremely delighted that Swamiji blessed us with a wonderful opportunity of conducting Bhagavadh Ramanuja Tirunakshatram in Boston.  I will never forget the great spiritual experience we had together for the past three days.

Conducting events over the weekday evenings is always prone to uncertainties.  As a team we pulled them together so well!  It’s simply a superb team effort!  An event success is measured by the number of people who participate in the event and how satisfied they are at the end of the day. 

Whoever I spoke with  said that both the Pushpa Kainkaryam and Ramanuja Thirunakshatram events are so beautiful, unique, pleasant, enlightening and cherished for a life time!  The chanting of Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam and adoring the divine couple with fresh, beautiful flowers with full of fragrance was a feast to our ears and eyes.

The Kalasha arrangement and Bhagavadh Ramanuja Kalashabhishekam amidst Purusha Suktha, Narayana Suktha, Sri Suktha and other mantras, and the order of choosing the kalashas as explained by His Holiness was so beautiful.. coupled with Raganjali it was simply amazing!

Most of the JET families/friends who visited from other locations poured praises on Boston team.  Many told me that generating such enthusiasm and taking the message forward, translating into audience is not a small job on a working week day!  So, kudos to one and all who worked so hard behind the scenes to make it happen! My sincere, heartfelt appreciation for your dedication and commitment.  

Let me first thank our friends who helped in so many ways! 

Mr. Prakash Reddy – Thanks a lot for providing food for the 22nd event. Food was so delicious, plenty and tasty.  

Mr. Ramana – Truly appreciate your generosity for supplying food on 23rd event.  Many thanks!

Mr. Naveen Modi – Thank you for taking care of the audio and spending several hours on several days to make it so pleasant. Highly appreciate your time, effort.  Your audio handling skills are so impressive and unmatched!

Mr.  Shankar Magapu, Srinivas Batchu, Ramesh Tallam  – Thanks Sankarji, Srinivasji, Rameshji  for  taking care of food distribution and all other help including help at TAGB event.  We are so grateful.

Mr. Seetaram Amaravadi – Thank you for handling photography.  Can’t wait to see those lovely pictures!

Thank you entire Swaminarayan team for letting us use their wonderful facility and working with all of us all the time.  Very positive, pleasant people and great to work with!

Anitha for making the wonderful banner of Shanka, Chakra, Namam! 

I apologize if I missed any names.

Now the volunteers…

Manimala and Aswin Chalupadi – You blended with the team so well. You seamlessly made things happen swiftly, silently with no frustration and complaints, even though so much work was put in your plate.  It’s a great quality that we all need to learn as to how to manage stress in circumstances like these without losing patience/control.   Looking forward to working with you in future JET events as well.

Srinivas Kaki – Even though you have to make a trip to India few days before Swamiji’s trip, your leadership and motiving others is inspirational.

Padma and Ramesh – From planning to execution you are there all the way!  The wonderful variety of flowers, choosing, ordering, arranging for  the Pushpa Kainkaryam.  The guest lists, calling, inviting people, getting us the fantastic facility Swaminarayan temple,  Mr. Naveenji for audio help, setting up, cleaning and so on.. the list is endless. Thank you both!

Sri and Murali – Thank you for hosting the HH Swamiji and Parivaram!  Swamiji is so happy with your hospitality.  Lovely couple with such dedication!

Raghu and Sruthi – We witnessed such a wonderful Bhagavadh Ramanuja Thirunakshatram..  the Kalashas, Vastra danam.  Sruthi, thanks for putting together a team, practicing so well and what a sweet  and melodious rendering of Raganjali songs!  It’s one of the highlights of our events!

Vishwa – You are so inspiring! Ready to take on anything and everything.. never said no.  I am sure you will take Prajna and JET organization to the next level.  Your inputs are highly valuable!

Madhavi – You are so thoughtful and helpful.  You take initiative, involve all the time wherever needed. Sorry couldn’t accommodate your request for Swamiji’s visit this time L  Let’s showcase a beautiful VT Seva event next time when Swamiji is here next time! J

Subramanyam and Raja – Can’t thank you enough for handling the front desk so well, so smoothly and flawlessly!  Front desk team is amazing!

Prasanna and Srinivas – Another wonderful couple who did so much!  Pitching in, working with the rest of the team and make things happen.  Prasanna is such a bundle of positive energy, always smiling!

Chandra – No words to describe Chandraji!  Just such a positive presence. Your commitment is second to none! We are so lucky to have him in the Boston JET and VT Team!

Krishna and Jitendra – Thanks for assisting all the way. 

Surya – Very highly appreciate Surya for everything!  Panakam you made tasted so yummy!   With him around and assigned a task, we don’t have to worry how it’s accomplished!

I would like to thank my wife Smitha for being supportive and sharing work in many areas like choosing flowers with Padma, in decorations, arrangements and literally everywhere!

There are many others whom I might have missed.. several people helped us during the past few days, appreciate all their help! 

Also appreciate the generosity of several people who donated, contributed and sponsored these events.

We still need to collect few things that we left at Swaminarayan temple, Raghuji and Vishwaji please finish that task. Also, Sruthi/Raghu need to return the microphone stands to Sai temple.

Please make sure that you got all your stuff and didn’t forget anything.

Please take a minute to fill in your expenses, electronic copies using the below tracking links:

Dear Bhagvath Bandus,

A great team work made big success of Pushpa Kainkaryam and 108 Kalashabhisekham of Sri Ramanuja Thirunakshtram under guidance of His Holiness Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji during the weekdays.

The entire team is connected so well and everything looked very easy but is was great effort put by one and all. Please keep up with same effort and in every event in future.

Thanks
Sanjeev

Jai Srimannarayana!

We had such a wonderful three days when swamiji was here.  Congratulations to whole team for making the events successful and I cannot explain about the events any better than chary garu in his previous Thank you email.

We ( Shree and me )  would like to thank JET Newengland leadership team for giving us an opportunity to host the Swamiji at our house. This is one of our life time events that we will never forget it. Swamiji not only visited with his perumal and parivaram ,we were also blessed with Ramanuja Acharya from New jersey , who never left the New jersey ashramam before. We are also blessed to have Chary & Smitha garu's Sri Lakshmi Narayana to our house. If we have known earlier we would have had a grand welcome but none the less , divine couple visited us and blessed us.  We also had opportunity for lot Bhagavad bandus visiting from outside and making the swamiji visit more memorable. We are definitely blessed to be part of all of JET New England Bhagavad bandus. 

All this would not have been possible with people helping us.

Asha & Praveen - Thank you hosting visitors at your house. Whoever stayed at your house were very happy with hospitality.

Raghu & Sruthi - Thank you hosting visitor at your house and also Thanks for lending lot of utensils and other cooking stuff. It has been very helpful. Without those I might have had to run around a lot to procure those.

Hema & Sundar - Thank you for flowers and garlands. Also Thanks to Hema for lending lot of stuff for decorating the house and helping us decorating. Lot of people like the way you and Shree have laid out the house. It was looking more festive environment.

Deepa Balaji - Thank your stunning rangoli at the entrance and for lending the Bananna tree.

Radhika garu and Divya - Thank you for what have done those two days. I am not sure what we would have done if your help was not there. You took care of lot of things. So thanks again.

Pavitra & SriRam - Sri Ram Thanks for you helping me with the dishes and getting ready for the evening event. When every one went with Swamiji , you stayed back and helped me with dishes.

Madhavi - Thank you for your help me with cleaning  on the day two when every one went with swamiji.

Ashwin & Manimala -Thank you both for lending your stoves and Ashwin garu I defenitely owe you one. You are god sent on Saturday and you insisted on coming and doing the dishes. I thought that was easy work but it turned out to be lot of work. So Thank you very much.

Aparna and Raman(NJ) - Vow what can I say about you both. You just came took over the kitchen, because of you I was able to attend and take pictures at Thirunakshatharam. You are unbelievable. You bought the food to Temple also. So thank you very much.

Sorry If I missed any one but thank you all for making the visit of swamiji to our house a memorable one.




Jai Srimannarayana!
Shree, Murali , Akshitha and Akhil.
