A warm and loving Sairam\u00a0dear\u00a0Members,<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hope all of you are having a blessed week!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We had a very spirited and blissful Aradhana Mahotsavam<\/strong> event at the Center on Sunday April 23rd with over 125 devotees in attendance! The spirit of love and devotion was palpable. Let us all thank our beloved Swami for blessing<\/strong><\/em> our Loudoun Sai Center with such awesome members. Brother Balu Karanam's<\/strong> talk was very inspiring and was filled with wisdom. Musical Skit<\/strong> offered by our members, uplifted all our spirits with melodious songs.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped in setting up the beautiful altar, audio, video, photo arrangements and sumptuous prasadam and so many other things.<\/p>\n

We will be meeting again this Sunday at the Center for our regular devotional and SSSE starting at 9:30am. Looking forward to seeing all of you again!.<\/font><\/p>\n
