>I enjoyed this article. I did have the anugraham of our 45th jeer recently >who was kind enough to give me upadesam of Bhutasuddhi krama at Rishikesh >stalam, which I visited two days back. It was an unique opportunity for >me to gayathri japam 1008 times in front of Sri Lakshminrisimhan deity and >of course the other dieties of Krishna etc. who accompany our Malola >Nrsimhar (archamurthy). Our acharya had hours to spend with me since only >one other family visited him that day. I will write about some upadesams >soon. You are indeed blessed. It is told that if you do the srI mahA gAyathri japam at home, you receive one palan.If you do it on a riverside, you obtain 10 times the palan. If you do it on a seashore you receive 100 times the palan, and if you do it in a kOvil in front of the Lord your palan is infinite. You have had the bAghyam of doing it in a puNya sthalam - hrishIkEsh, in front of srI mAlOlan, in the presence of your paramAchAryan. You are indeed blessed! adiyEn rAja krishNasAmy raja@cyberdude.com
