  Dear Brothers and Sisters of Light:

Namaskaaram! Greetings! We wanted to first apologize for the technical difficulties that we have been experiencing with our current web hosting provider. Due to continued disruptions in providing our TFTD service to you, we have decided to migrate Lord Murugan's website onto another (hopefully) more reliable webhosting provider. As such, we wanted to apologize for the temporary absence of the TFTD messages for the past few weeks. We are happy to resume this service for all of you as of right now. Please accept our humble apologies.

With Bhagavan Sri Skanda's Love, Light, and Blessings,

Skandagurunatha Webteam
