Barb & Ron's 60th Birthday celebrations

On Thursday December 4th, 2008, Mrs. Barbara Greene and Mr. Ronald Greene of Calgary, Canada were re-married at the Sripuram Darshan Hall in the Divine presence of Beloved Sri Sakthi Amma.

This being a surprise from the Divine Mother, all the arrangements were done unknown to them. The day before the wedding Beloved Amma requested that the Sashtipoorthi (60th Birthday celebrations) be organized for Ron and Barb for the next day between 7.30 - 9.00am.
