AKHANDA VISHNU SAHASRANAMA (AVS) ORGANIZATION

SEPTEMBER 19, 2009, SECOND ANNUAL GLOBAL SATSANG USA/CANADA (1030 AM EST), UK (0330 PM), INDIA (0800 PM)

� Stotra or chanting the God’s Name

Meditation, Japa, and Stotra are the three paths of devotion. Of these three paths, Stotra is simpler, open to all, and can be chanted any time without any accompanying rituals. As a result Stotra has become a popular devotional technique. Out of all the shasranama stotras, the Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra (VSS) is popular and commonly chanted in all houses, communities, organizations, and temples across different countries in the world.

� AVS - Annamayya Venkateswara Sankalpam On the eve of Sri Annamayya Sankirthanas in 2007, in front of Lord Venkateswara in the temple, an idea or sankalpam had started to coordinate the global VSS chanting across different countries in the world into one satsang at the same time. Such a coordinated effort would help to intensify the vibrations and energy of VSS in promoting the peace, harmony, and welfare of the world we live in.

� AVS Organization Objectives This sankalpam is the driving force to start the AVS Organization in 2008 to promote and coordinate the VSS chanting across different countries in the world. Last year, the first annual Satsang, more than 9000 devotees from four countries (US, Canada, India, and Nepal) participated in this Satsang. The annual satsang is set for the first Saturday of the Navaratri festival which corresponds to the Brahmotsavam of Tirumala Tirupati Devastanam, AP, India. This year, this corresponds to September 19, 2009, the first Saturday of the Navar atri festival . Each year we will add and formalize the participation of different countries in this global effort. With the blessings of Lord Venkateswara and increased participation in India and different countries of the world, we plan to chant one Crore VSS globally in one satsang in the near future.

� AVS 2009 Goal On September 19, 2009, Saturday, our goal is to chant 100,008 VSS in one satsang, at the same time corresponding to 1030 AM (East Cost time in US), across US, Canada, India, UK, and other parts of the world including Europe, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Our goal is to reach at least 5000 devotees from US and Canada, 25000 devotees from India, and at least 1000 devotees from other countries of the world to participate in this second annual satsang. The same time Global VSN Satsang is on Saturday, September 19, 2009, and starts in USA/Canada at 1030 AM (EST), 0930 AM (Central), 0830 AM (Mountain), 0730 AM (Pacific), and 0430 AM (Hawaii). The corresponding start times, for example, at other places of the world are as follows: Sao Paulo, Brazil, 1130 AM; London, UK, 0330 PM; Berlin, Germany, 0430 PM; Johannesburg, SA, 0430 PM; Moscow, Russia, 0630 PM; Delhi, India, 0800 PM; Singapore 1030 PM; Tokyo, Japan, 1130 PM; Perth, Australia, 1030 PM; Sunday, Sept 20, 2009: Sydney, Australia, 1230 AM and Auckland, NZ, 0230 AM.
