just now I have come from reciting the Vishnu Sahasranamam at my
favourite temple, which is in Ashland, Massachusetts; and so I feel that
it is a propitious time to introduce myself in this group devoted to
vaishNava bhakti and prapatti. I am not a tamizh person, but I have
become very much interested in Andal's tiruppAvai. During this
dhanurmAsam I was able to go one day to the Bridgewater temple (in NJ)
where they have elaborate dhanurmAsa puja, including tiruppAvai recital,
every morning. I felt very blessed for this occasion, I was happy to
learn that there was a group of people who might be able to share with me
their own traditions pertaining to tiruppAvai, dhanurmAsam, and
sankrAnti. Looking forward to learning and possibly contributing myself,
I hope that you will welcome me to your group.
sincerely,
Aravinda
