The Inaugural Mahotsavam

🌟 The Event That Started It All 🌟

The 1st Annual Mahotsavam was a landmark moment in the history of our community — the very first time Chattada Sri Vaishnava families across North America gathered under a single banner to celebrate our shared heritage, culture, and devotion.

Held at the Royal Albert Palace in Fords, New Jersey, the inaugural event laid the foundation for what NACSA would become. From Kuchipudi and Bharatanatyam to guitar solos and culture presentations, every performance was a testament to the depth of talent within our community.

This event was not just a celebration — it was a declaration that Chattada Sri Vaishnavas in North America are here, together, and thriving.

Reconnecting at the New Jersey Meet & Greet

The stage is set for the New Jersey Spiritual Assembly on August 3rd. Recently, many relatives have been reconnecting in cities like Atlanta, Dallas, Seattle, New Jersey, and Virginia. It has been a spiritually enriching experience to meet so many family members.

Initially, not everyone was enthusiastic about attending the New Jersey Spiritual Assembly. However, seeing about 25 families already registered has dispelled any doubts about participation.

The event was held at the Royal Albert Palace, with hall and dining accommodations already secured. The New Jersey brotherhood also arranged affordable lodging at a nearby hotel for those traveling from distant places.

Special thanks to all the relatives who initiated this unique program, bringing back the sweet memories of our childhood after many years.

This was an invitation to all relatives to join this wonderful opportunity. It was our collective responsibility to make this event a success — and you delivered!
