Memories from Jamshedpur (TataNagar) - Part 5 (Loyola school photos + uncategorized) - concluded

 

In part 3 of this post, I had posted photos from a group picnic in Jan 1979 to Pavapuri, Rajgir, Nalanda, Gaya etc, in Jan 1979, and some travels in Rishikesh, Delhi, Agra etc in Part 4 

After a long gap, on July 3 (that Srikanth reminded me of today when he called to speak to our mother), I finally conclude this series (more than a year after I first started posting these pictures) with some school photos (Loyola) that he has preserved (+ some misc uncategorized photos).

Upanayanam of Shashwat Venkat Ram 16-06-25

|| न गायत्र्याः परमो मन्त्रः न मातुः परं  दैवतम् ||
 

The upanayanam of Shaswat Venkat Ram was conducted nicely by Harini, Amrith and blessings of Jaganmata Bhuvaneshvari, Gayatri, Guru-s and elders and the good wishes of family, friends, and relatives on 16-06-25 (Father's Day here in the US).

On this occassion, I post a small discourse of Sri Ramanacharana Tirtha (Nochur) Swami "காயத்ரி ஜபத்தின் மகிமை"
