Brahmotsavam at Sri Mahalakshmi temple, Boston.
From the Bhakti List Archives
• June 8, 2001
Dear members, The Brahmotsavam for Sri Lord Venkataeswara is beginning with Dwajarohanam today at the Boston Sri Mahalakshmi temple. We would like to invite all of you to come and participate. This year is specially exciting as a grand Garuda Vahana complete with pedestal, like you see typically in the temples of India, arrived last week, just in time for the Brahmotsavam. The Vahanam is beautiful and with pedestal is about 5 feet in height. Due to non-availability of all Vahanams and resources, right now the Brahmotsavam is celebrated in a shorter scale, with Garuda Vahanam, Kalyana Utsavam, ThiruthEr, Guthirai Vahanam, etc., In the past years we have also had TheppOtsavam and Theerthavari and I think they will be added this yera too. There was a mix up of dates in my earlier post and sincere apologies for the same. Please refer to www.srilakshmitemple.org for complete details. This year the Garuda Vahanam is to be celebrated tomorrow, ie. Saturday, June 9th, around 6 pm, followed by kalyana Utsavam. The Vahanam is very heavy and the Bhattars estimate that some 16-20 able bodied men of appx the same height would be needed for the PuRappadu, aside from others needed for Kudai, etc., We request all those who can attend to come and participate and all those who can come and help in the Purappadu to please be at the temple on Sat at 5 p.m. Please also inform your friends of the celebrations.
