Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 HARI AUM Everytime one gets to read about Guruvayur pilgrimage it amounts to having one more darshan. One has to be THANKFUL to YOU for giving us this divine darshan. May Guruvayurappan's blessings be showered upon you, your family, friends and all those whom you know profusely.
