Sankara Vijayam has taken place in very great strides in Toronto lately.

After the successful conclusion of the Chandi Homam performed on the 7th and 8th November 2008 by Kanchi Kamakoti Seva Kendra of GTA it was the turn of Sringeri Vidya Bharathi Foundation to inagurate their very beautiful community centre At 84 Brydon Drive, Etobicoke, Ontario M9W 4N6 on a gala two day function held on December 13 and December 14, 2008. I should acknowledge the dedication and tireless efforts on the part of Sri Ravi Subramanian and his wife Ramaa in bringing up this great enterprise.

On the 13th Rudraabhishekam and Sri Rudra Homam were performed. It was preceded by a video conference with Pujyasri Sringeri Acharya and it was followed by lecture by Dr.S.Yegnasubramanian, Chairman, SVBF-USA. On the 14th, the day started off with the scintillating recitation of AruNam by Pandit Balakrishna Sastri followed by Deepa Pooja with Lalitha Sahasranama Laksharchana and Ashtottara Shata Suvasini Pooja. On both days there were Music Concerts in the evening by Ravi Kiran on Chithra Veena and by Bhajans by Sunil Mungee & Party (on the second day).
