Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hari-om ------- Very well said, Chit Puramji, Yes, SATSANG . Something like: Mullapoovinu thottu kidakkum kallinunumundoru sowrabhyam. ( pardon the mistakes).The company of holy men always enhances and indirectly influences the devotee's search for the truth, or the bhakti-marg. You are right; The atmosphere, the aura, the chaitanya , that atmosphere is felt only within the temple precinct. Yes, A true devotee benefits from such experience. jai shree krishna 1 Achuthan Nair guruvayur , Chith Puram <krsnakrpa wrote: > > Namaste Nairji and other Gurudevs! > A temple with the consecration of a deity and pujas performed continuously > has strong positive vibrations.
