Mahabhishekam performed on Sept 4, 2010

The second anniversary of Kumbabhishekam of Sri Maha Sastha Ayyanar and Sri Shyamala Kali Temples, was celebrated in a grand manner on Saturday, Sept 4, 2010 with a Mahabhishekam. Hereditary devotees and the local ones actively participated.

Updation of Address Book

Over the last 2 years, the Kumbabhishekam Committee has tried to collate a list of devotees of the Sri Maha Sastha from various sources, including from the earlier available list, the details available with the old watchman, kurukkals, friends, relatives, etc.  Letters have been sent in the past and received by some while in respect of the others, they have been returned undelivered.  The Committee also created a group emailer at  mahasastha@googlegroups.com to which updates are being sent regularly.
