UNIVERSAL TEMPLE OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA
GOLDEN JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS
OF ITS CONSECRATION
(9th November to 19th November, 2007)
Revised Programme - I N V I T A T I O N
Dear Devotees,
As many people are perhaps aware, Most Revered President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, Srimat Swami Gahananandaji Maharaj, entered into Mahasamadhi on 4th November, 2007. There will be Special Puja and Homa to Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna on 16th November, 2007 in this connection. A Memorial Meeting will also be held at 2:00 p.m. on that day. In view of this unfortunate development we have to curtail our Golden Jubilee Celebrations.
As per the revised programme there will be whole night Kali Puja (in image) on 9th November, 2007 and Ganapati Homa and Navagraha Homa on 10th November, 2007 morning. All the other programmes upto 15th November, 2007 stand cancelled. The programmes starting from 16th November, 2007 will be as follows.
We shall be very happy if all the functions are attended in large numbers by our devotees, friends and well-wishers.
With namaskars and best wishes,
Yours in service,
Swami Shantatmananda
Secretary
Dated: 5th November, 2007
