Sivaram Pulakhandam (Siva), sivaramprv@gmail.com Comfort DormsAn independent dormitory accommodation will also be available in the venue itself, for which a separate communication will be issued soon. These dorms are an effective alternative to the hotels considering the limited number of hotels in Tiruvallur and the travel involved between the venue and the hotels, and also the limited number of hotels near the venue. These dorms would be well designed and adequate facilities would also be provided. WeatherThe weather in Tiruvallur during the celebrations is expected to be hot and humid. There may also be short spells of rain during the month of July. TravelAirThe nearest airport is the Chennai International Airport. The airport is well connected through various airlines from all parts of the country and it also caters to various international routes. The venue is about fifty-three kilometres from the airport.

The venue is about fifty-five kilometres from the railway station. Tiruvallur and Arakonam are also railway stations closer to the venue at which trains are on the broad gauge stop, and abhyasis would do well to choose them. Details about transportation from these ailway stations to the venue are explained in the transportation circular: http://www.sahajmarg.org/july-24-celebrations/2015/transport VolunteersWe require a significant number of volunteers to be present at the venue now onwards. Some volunteers would be required to stay for about ten days after the celebration for winding-up operations, and hence are requested to plan accordingly. Volunteers arriving at the venue may report to the volunteer desk or the ashram office. Abhyasis who have volunteered in previous celebrations are encouraged to offer their services, and they may also encourage other willing abhyasis to participate in voluntary work. Centres are requested to encourage abhyasis to participate in voluntary work. The list of volunteers with name of the centre, number of abhyasis (brothers and sisters separately), area of voluntary work, and an approximate date of arrival and departure may be sent by email to 24jul15.helpdesk@srcm.org.
