Dear bhAgavathAs: upAkarmA and Gayatri japam fall on the first week of August 2001 for most sAkais. sAma upAkarma falls on Aug 21 and Aug 22 2001 depending upon the place. The priests (Sri. GopAlan and Sri. RaghurAman) from Chennai who have come to Sri Ranganatha temple, Pomona, NY for the mahA samprOkshaNam brought yajnOpavItams for the benefit of those in U.S. for the upAkarmA/gAyatri Japam. sAma Vedins will wear new yajnOpavItam(s) on gAyatri japam and also on the day of upAkarmA. You may also get yajnOpavItam from the priests at Sri. Ranganatha temple, Pomona, NY, and also at any other temple. Please make sure of this opportunity at your earliest. with warm regards. govindarajan nArAyanA!
