Sri Siva Siddhar Mona Swami Birthday Function


The below is a short pictorial history of Sri Siva Mona Siddhar Swami's 52nd Birthday, which was celebrated yesterday at his Ashram at Sethavarai Village, about 20 kms from Tiruvannamalai.

The function was well attended and started off early in the morning and continued onwards till about 2 p.m. that afternoon. Even though there was several functions during the day, Swami had time to meet and talk with his devotees. We were very fortunate in that the weather held nicely throughout the day.
