    Thank you Aunty. Looking forward to celebrating Diwali this year with two special events. I'll light a lamp for all IL'ites as well!

    Dear Aunty,

    More clarifications:

    Could you let me know if the following translation of Yama Deepam slogam to Tamil is correct (I would like to pronounce correctly)

    ம்ருத்யுனா பாஷ தண்டாப்யாம் காலேன ஷ்யாமயா சஹா
    த்ரயோதஷ்யாம் தீபதாநாத் சூர்யயஹ் ப்ரீயதாம் மம

    Particularly, is சூர்யயஹ் the right word in the slogam?

    Thank you
    Vani
