Namasthe- Sita and parrots_Plight of the (holy?) Cow

[Guest guest]

Dear Savitriji,

Thanks for enlightening the group regarding the story of Sita and

parrots. Many of them may not be aware that an episode ever existed

in the great epic. As you have rightly said the only recourse to

wash away the dushkarma done in the past.. in this Kaliyuga is only

namasankeerthana..this can be done at any place, no matter in what

state one is. Lets hold the PADARAVINDAM OF LORD

GURUVAYOORAPPAN..which is the only solace to mankind.

As it has been said in the vishnu sahasranama

NA VAASUDEVA BHAKTHANAM ASHUBAM VIDYATHE KVACHIT..Guruvayoorappan

devotees will never be let down by him...though we have to suffer due

to our purvajanma karmas...HIS BLESSINGS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US..

ON NAMO NARAYANAYA..

Dear Savitriji,

Thanks for enlightening the group regarding the story of Sita and

parrots. Many of them may not be aware that an episode ever existed

in the great epic. As you have rightly said the only recourse to

wash away the dushkarma done in the past.. in this Kaliyuga is only

namasankeerthana. .this can be done at any place, no matter in what

state one is. Lets hold the PADARAVINDAM OF LORD

GURUVAYOORAPPAN. .which is the only solace to mankind.

As it has been said in the vishnu sahasranama

NA VAASUDEVA BHAKTHANAM ASHUBAM VIDYATHE KVACHIT..Guruvayoor appan

devotees will never be let down by him...though we have to suffer due

to our purvajanma karmas...HIS BLESSINGS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US..

ON NAMO NARAYANAYA..
