This function will actually begin on Jan 31, with a week long mahayAgam
preceding the event.  The chanting of Sri Vishnu SahasranAmam will take
place on February 7.   It is expected that 800,000 people will be attending
this time.

Sri Varadhan and I spoke with Sri Tridandi Jeear Swamy last week.  He was
recently in a rather serious car accident, but is recovering quickly, and
will most certainly be conducting this event.

More information about Sri Jeear Swamy and his activities can be found on
