Dear Fellow
devotees:
As we enter the summer months, there is a pause in the activities at
the temple. However, daily routines continue and weekends are fairly
busy. Construction and maintenance works are going on uninterrupted.
The parents and teachers of Bala Vihar are continuing their
preparations for children's summer camp from July 13th to 16th. For
new students, registration for the coming academic year is presently
underway, and will continue until September 1, 2008. Classes will
start on Sunday, August 10th.
August 10th will be a family day at the temple. In addition to Bala
Vihar classes, there will be a Saraswati Pooja for all children in
Siva temple. We are working to have two separate groups, one for
children, ages, 3-6 and the second one for children, 7 and above. If
you would like to have your child to participate in the pooja,
please enquire in the manager's office for more details. Temple gift
shop is planning a special sale that day. Food committee is also
planning a surprise item that day.
Many times, devotees who have encountered difficulties, come to the
temple to offer prayers for the welfare of their families. The
temple has just started a free Kutumba Samkshema Archana program.
Every Sunday, the 4 PM Balaji archana and the 4 30 PM Siva archana
will be free of charge. You do not need a ticket for the archana.
We have started working on the Bricks Sponsorship program. If you
would like to participate in the program, please contact the office
or Sri Narender Reddy, at

Due to the increasing gasoline prices, the IRS has increased mileage
rates. When temple priests come to your home for a pooja, please
reimburse them at the new rate of 60c/mile. These new rates are
effective July 1st.
There are many ways you can help the temple meet its mission and
goals. If you would like to help, please contact me at
pravisarma@hotmail.com.
You may call me at 678 313 0646 (my cell)
As always, thank you for your support of the temple and its
activities.
Hari Om.
