families who attended the 100th Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram session at the
Balaji Temple, Aurora on Saturday, 21st Apr 2007. Thanks to the
enthusiastic participation by everyone who attended this session, the Balaji
Temple authorities have requested CTU to do this on an annual basis.
Thus, each year, in addition to chanting the Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram at
the Memorial Day Utsavam, we will also be chanting as a group at the HTGC
temple in January during their Tyagaraja Aradhana as well as the Balaji
temple on a date to be determined.
The children deserve special acknowledgement for having chanted the Vishnu
Sahasranama Stotram by repeating each line with the teacher (twice the usual
time) and then chanting it again with the temple priests at 6 PM.
Acknowledgements:
- Ranganath Hemmige and other Balaji temple organizers for providing a venue and making it possible for CTU to treat this milestone as a special occasion
- M.V.Sunder for working with the appropriate organizers at the Balaji temple to ensure that there is no conflict with another temple event and ensuring that the right people are around for sound and mike system set-up
- Sadagopan for spreading the message to various groups within Balaji Temple
- Usha and T.E.S. Raghavan for making Vadai and Laddoo as Prasadam that was distributed to the attendees in front of the Balaji Sannidhi
- Vijji & Murali, Sujatha Babu, Asha Hari, Sandhya Sridher and other parents who helped in the distribution of the Medhu Vadai, Sambhar and Chutney provided by CTU for all attendees
