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!
