Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Dear Mohan, I have heard from some Gurus that the Gayathri mantram should *not* be chanted on its own, but should be done with the Sandyavandanam. To chant always, the taraka Nama "Rama" or any Hari nama - like "Hare Rama Hare Rama...." can be done alone. As you know, Hari nama can be chanted without any niyamam (rules) but I suppose Gayathri has some. Like Rama nama can be chanted - facing any direction, at any time, at any place (even in toilets), even without a Guru Deeksha! Please consult your Guru, incase you haven't and follow his advice. Incase you are already doing this based on your Guru's advice, please ignore this email and my apologies. My pranams to you //Balaji Hariharan Sunil Menon <menon_sunil wrote: Mohan,Welcome back to the group.Good to hear about your first trip to India and GREAT to know that you could make to Guruvayoor!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 While chanting any nama or mantra - better facing east direction atleast. But the best direction is east and sit in north east corner. Second option is west direction. But never face south and chant any nama or mantra which give adverse effect. While sleeping, the head must be towards south and bed should be in west side of the bedroom which will help to keep good health. because south west corner is having bioenergy which helps the body to obsorbe it and maintain good health.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Don't get so over whelmed with 3.5 million CA$. Remember you chanted "Gayatri"58 years to attain this luck. May be your aim was to attain wealth. So you got it at last. Now try to use it cautiously,Every devotee will be blessed with what they asked for, but always remember that it may not take 58 second to wipe off the luck. So continue chanting "Gayatri"by asking to give wise to use this luck and wipe out the ego good luck Indu Canada viswanath natrajan <ko_rangan wrote: Ho Ho Ho I have been chanting "Gayathri" for over 58 years.
