Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 om sri govindaya namah. if you recite vishnu sahasranamam with faith you will get all your proper desires fulfilled. do call a group of devotees and arrange for prasadam to be served. have harinam sankirtan performed by hare krishna or some other devotees who represent a proper vedic / bhagavatha tradition. depending on what you can afford give them in charity after humbly washing their feet. if your problems are not solved, do let me know and i will refund your cost.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hare Krishna, The easiest option for a devotee is 'Saranagati'. He/she should take refuge of the lotus feet of Sri Guruvayoorappan and accept all joys or sorrows in life as Bhagavan's 'prasadam'. Whatever good or bad we are experiencing in this life are the results of our past-karma . However, Guruvayoorappan is 'Bhaktavalsalan' and is renowned for providing ultimate success to His devotee . The true success stories of Melapthur Bhattathiri, Poonthanam, Kurooramma, Chemabai Bhagavathar, etc are proof of this fact. Bhagavan says in GIta : Sloka 18.65 manmana bhava mad-bhakto / mad-yaji mam namaskuru mam evaisyasi satyam te / pratijane priyo 'si me (Fix your mind on Me, become My devotee, offer service to Me, bow down to Me, and you shall certainly reach Me. I promise you because you are My very dear friend. ) Sloka 18.66 sarva-dharman parityajya / mam ekam saranam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo / moksayisyami ma sucah (Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me completely with faith and devotion. I shall liberate you from all sinful reactions. Do not grieve.)
