[ One month Rest.]














It took more than a month to continue my "Gayitri Japa as it was not possible in USA due to the house being with non fire proof materials and I could not do any fireworks in the house like in my home lighting incense sticks or lighting oil lamps.
Gayatri:

Mother of all Mantras.
Vedic rishis sages and scholars have sung the glory of the Gayatri Mantra which begins thus:
"Aum  bhur bhuvah svah tat savitur varanyam / Bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo dhimahi dhiyo yo nah prachodayat".

Prayer is common to all religions. Love for God is universal, the mode or method of prayer could different since everyone is free to pray to the divine power in their own way.
Prayer should be acceptable to all, simple and easy to adopt in daily life .Generally people follow the path of prayer practiced in the family. The  Gayatri Mantra and any other prayer should be recited with sincerity and for the love of God. Only then its true benefit can be derived.


The Gayitri Photo was taken when we visited Dwaraka to see my friend Suresh my best friend who stays at Dwaraka, we visited all the holy places the most important being the temple of "Lord Krishna" to whom we prayed to give our son a boy.

When we told the temple priest our request he told us " If you want some favor from God you have to give him something and he will give it on a condition that you will visit him if your prayer is granted, we just gave a coconut and requested our favor for a son to our son.

By the divine grace of "Lord Krishna" my son's wife is now pregnant and we are very anxiously waiting for the baby's birth. My son was very fond of Krishna and it was his wish that we do Arati to Krishna whose photo was adorning our prayer room but we were not doing Arati to him. We started doing Arati more than 34 years ago and doing till today daily.
