Being the Unrecognized Force

Wish you all a very Happy and Holy Khara Nama Samvatsara Ugadi.

Here's a little something that I wanted to share on the occasion.

Appended is a mail that I sent in 2005 to the Temple Committee
member that was not even acknowledged. But a few weeks
after sending the mail, Telugu priests were recruited in an
otherwise mostly North Indian temple and we have been since
reciting almost the same stotras / chants I mentioned in the mail,
happily ever after, for years now. I never heard those stotras
in the temple before I sent that mail. The daily count of visitors
has been increasing ever since as well.

My Reading: Being the unrecognized force behind a positive
change unites us with the invisible God, who is often not
recognized as well.

Efforts need not be recognized as long as
result is what matters, hopefully for you too, for a
happy new year and happiness always.

Subject: _____________ temple: stotra recitals


Hi ___,

I'm a PreetiBhoj volunteer at the temple and am
quite interested in its growth and activities. It
struck me that one other service that I can offer
to the temple is to lead stotra recitals in the
temple, particularly in the holy month of Sravana
which is starting this Friday. I can recite the
following on the respective days at 7pm:

Monday: Rudra Namakam-Chamakam, Purusha Suktam, Sri Suktam
Tuesday: Hanuman Chalisa (5-times)
Wednesday: Vishnu Sahasranama - Lakshmi Stotra
Friday: Lalita Sahasranama Stotra
Sunday: Aditya Hrudayam - navagraha stotra

Please let me know if the temple would be interested
in inviting participants to the acitivity and organize the
event. The participants can recite the stotras in chorus
or just listen. I can provide the transcripts of the stotras
in Telugu and Hindi, for the participants to read from.
The activity should last between 30mins to 1hour.

Thanks and regards,
Vishnu
