Thank you so much for publishing details of the ThiruAdhyayana Utsavam at Sri Ranganathaswami Temple. We long to participate in the events, but being far away, we very much look forward to reading more about the everyday events through your articles and photographs posted on Anudinam. If you would be so kind as to also post videos of Araiyar Sevais and Namperumal Purappadu, we would so much appreciate it. Many thanks.
