Veda Parayanam & Pooja.

On 26th March 2010 Lunch was provided to the Veda Parayana Ghosti members who usually go in procession after the deity of Sri Prasanna Venkatesa Perumal Temple of Sourashtra Sabha Madurai. After lunch is over, Sri K.R.Ramachari, Rig Vedi, performed pooja and all the members blessed the host Sri O.S.Radhakrishnan and his brothers Sri O.S.Subramanian,Sri O.S.Mohan and Sri O.S. Sekar.
Senior member of Naalaayira Divya Prabanda Ghosti Sri B.V.Kuppuswamy also attended and blessed.

It is customary to offer lunch to the Veda Parayana Ghosti members by devotees and seek their blessings.

Veda Parayana Ghoshti honoured.

During Brahmotsavam and on festival days, the presiding deity of the Temple is taken on procession so that people who are unable to visit the Temple will have darshan in the street near their houses. On such occasions, the Veda PaaraayaNa GhOShTi also follows the deity in procession reciting the Veda mantras and paasurams from Naalaayira Divya Prabandam. They are styled as PallaaNDu ghOShTi. To honour those people engaged in Bhagavat Kainkaryam, they are invited for lunch. After lunch is over they do pooja and bless the host. On 26th March 2010 Sri Prasanna Venkatesa Perumal Devasthanams Brahmotsavam, Car festival took place. On this auspicious occasion, the Veda PaaraayaNa GhOShTi people were offered lunch. The photos taken on that occasion can be viewed in the following link.

My visit to Ammapettai [Thanjavur District]

I visited Ammapettai in Thanjavur District at the invitation of Sri N.R.Raghuraman, who evinced interest in learning Sourashtra script.
I conducted Sourashtra script class to the children who assembled in Sri Venugopalaswamy Temple on 8th March 2010.
