Wow what a community!

I must say since my move to the Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya, I thought I might have to roll with the punches, wait and wait and then prolly not found what I was looking for, as with the Ramanandi's. While trying to break into the Ramanandi Sampradaya, I met some really great people and quite blessed to know them.

My post today though is to say the people at HH Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji's JET are bloody amazing! I am moving from Seattle to Indiana for work and stopping in Chicago on my way to receive Samasrayanam with Swamiji. I have been afraid that due to my economic situation that I could not do this. Hotel rooms and the like are expensive and would be in a town where I would not have transportation nor know how to get there if I had. They have been working with me including helping me with setting up lodging and a way to the events. I am blown away at their hospitality and good will towards this ol' avarnic mleccha dog-eatter ;)

I strongly urge anyone with a leaning toward Ramanuja's Sri Sampradaya to come to this group with me. I am amazed at how open, warm and welcoming they have been. Whether I am talking to representatives of JET from NJ, DC or Il. they are all brilliant.

Well in a month I will have my panchasamskarams and this blog will certainly a lot more interesting I assure you, and I hope to have pics as well. Until then please bear with me as I get moved.

@ Art, I will be in KY round X-mas to see my mum and then next year I am hoping to pop down to NC to visit my sister and her new baby (due jan 1) perhaps in all this I'll stop by and say hello.

@ Aamba, not found a reason to stop moving about.

Yes, we probably could. On a Tuesday or Wednesday. Let me know the dates when you can so I can keep a day free.
