[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Gayathri Mantram

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I am a new member of the group. My name is Seema and

is a great devottee of Guruvayoorappan. I liked the

group a lot, especially the experiences shared by

others.

I have heard that ladies should not chant Gayathri

Manthra. Is it correct? When should it be chanted?

I chant Vishnu Sahasranamam every day. Could someone

please tell me if there is any fixed time or any other

constraint in chanting it? I chant it immediately

after my bath, whatever time it is.

The story about the first chapter of Bhagavat Geetha

was really nice. Looking forward for such stories in

the future.

Om Namo Narayanaya.

Jai Sree Krishna.

 

Seema
