This is America and everything here is from right to left. .. Due to fire hazard, no more aarati, only flashlights will be used. .. To prevent noise pollution, all bhaktas need to use head phones to listen GONG of the bell ..during flashlight-tee (aar-tee). Soft copies of lord are on sale at $1 per image. ..
