Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 Srimathe Ranga Ramanuja Mahadesikaya Namah Dear Bhaktas, Adiyen was reading a book titled "The Great Science & philosophy of Gayatri" and adiyen wanted to share with the members the Glory of this great mantra. Gayatri has been called as Spiritual Triveni. The meeting of Ganga and Yamuna creates an invisible subtle divine river which is known as Saraswati and the confluence of these three is known as Triveni. On account of Triveni, Prayag is called king of all theerthas. In the same way, Gayatri is triveni of Spiritual World. Its first letter 'Ga' is suggestive of Ganga, second letter 'ya'is suggestive of yamuna and third letter 'tri' is suggestive of Triveni. This shows the importance of Gayatri Mantra and Sandhya Vandanam in our daily life. Repetion of this mantra with faith and devotion is equal to having a dip in the Holy river Ganga, Yamuna and Triveni.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2000 Report Share Posted November 14, 2000 Dear Sir, River Saraswati is not imaginary.It is only invisible. According to the legends, Sage Vyasa was doing tapas near Badrinath. Saraswati wanted to disturb his tapas and rushes with great speed. It is believed that Sage Vyasa composed the Mahabharata at this place.The sage curses her and pushes her down to the earth. If you go to Badri, you can see River Saraswati falling with great speed from a height but disappearing immediately thereafter and in Prayag, near Allahabad, where River Ganga and yamuna meet, you can see the bubble at the meeting point which is River Saraswati. River Saraswati meets Ganga and yamuna at Prayag. You may like to cross check with people and correct me if I am wrong. With warm regards Daasan/ A V Desikan On Tue, 14 Nov 2000 13:20:17 -0500 "T.R.
