[Guest guest]

It is very interesting, and it makes us all confirm on our faith..It would be

great if someone has the 1970 satelite pictures of puttaparthy with swami's

image, could post it on the web so all can see.

Thankyou for your information.

The NASA picture of Bhagwan's Face with Earth as backdrop, is given in

ShakuntalaBalau's Book on Bhagwan.

I had been to Rameswaram and Dhanuskodi last week . The heavy stones

that floated !!, samples are still available and displayed in a small

Hanuman temple there. The Holy Temple of Rameswaram even today seems to

narrate the crucial episodes of Ramayana as i experienced. The main

deity Shivalinga was worshipped by LordRama. To ward off the sins of

having slayed an ardent devotee of Shiva

( Ravana) Lord Rama decided to worship Lord Shiva. He asked Hanuman to

bring ShivaLinga. Hanuman flew to the abode of Shiva , Kailas/

Himalayas to bring the shiva linga.

Meanwhile it was getting late. Theywere all assembled on the seacoast.

Seetha Devi realising the importance of adhereing to auspicious time,

made aformation of Shiva Linga with Her Divine palms using sea Sand.

Lord Raama started the Pooja with this Linga. The Holy Temple of

Ramesswaram has this Linga intalled as the Main Deity.

Hanuman arrived soon and the pooja was also done for that Lingam and

this Lingam is installed adjacent to the Main Lingam.

It is practice that the Devotees first offer their pranams to that

Lingam brought by Hanuman, then worship other deities, offer pooja to

the Divine mother consort of Shiva, and finally worship Lord Ramanatha

the presiding Deity of Rameswaram.

On Dec22nd 1964 the entire town of Dhanushkodi with about 12000 people

perished in a severe cyclonic storm that Hit the seacoast. Rameswaram

Temple and its presincts remained in Tact.

During the recent Tsunami , too on Dec 26th of 2004 The town of

Rameswaram andthe Holy temple were spared .
