I want to add a few words to Krishna's moving description. I experienced the enactment of Nammazhwar's Moksham for the first time. The entire event was overwhelming. Not being conversant with Tamil, I felt very helpless because I could only feel the vibrations and impact of the chantings but I had only an incomplete idea of the literal meaning. Just at that time, a kind person lent me a book that had the English transliteration in it -- which I read when the priests were preparing for the portion of the enactment where we asked for our Acharya to be returned to us. That and some explanations that I got from my friend Krishnaprasad really put me in a trance that I will never forget. All in all, the 3 days event was well attended. I had the opportuity to meet and talk to many mahanubhavas whose names I see on the bhakti list (like Anbil Swamy, Nagu Satyan, etc.). What a great group of people. I am sure more devotees would come if each of us who was there can bring one or two new people to this event next year. Congratulations toeveryone who made this happen. Regards Adiyen Vishwanath
