Special Funtions at The Ashram.
These functions are, for the most part, functions which are observed regularly every year on specified days as per the Souramana (Siderial) Panchangam (calculated for the location of the City of Charlotte, NC) followed at the Parent Mutt in India. These include the tirunakshatrams (birth days) of Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva, Sri Maha Lakshmi,and the principal Acharyas in the lineage; important occasions like the solar and lunar Lunar New Year’s Days, Janmashtami, Ramanavami, Deepawali (or Diwali), Navaratri, Dhanurmasam, Adhyayanotsavam, etc. In addition, there will be abhishekam every month on the Sravana Nakstram day, which is the Nakshatra of Lord Hayagriva. Some of these functions may be conducted at a public venue if we expect a large number of devotees to attend.
We will announce the date, time and venue in advance for these functions on this web site and will also inform the devotees via e-mail/text message if we have their contact information. All are welcome to attend these functions, especially with their children and receive the blessings of Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva. If any devotee wishes to sponsor these functions, she/he can do so at the beginning of the function. There is no set fee charged for sponsorship. The devotees may make yatha shakti contribution to PLM, USA to support the Ashram activities. Contributions to PLM, USA are exempted from US income tax under applicable IRS rules.
