Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Dear VSM, Collect a few people who think alike and are interested in saving the temple. On an auspicious day [ ask the local pundit about it ] all of you should go to the temple and recite the following Durga sapt Shati mantra collectively, praying that there should be no obstacles in your effort to save the temple. baadhaa shaanti ke liye [ to eliminate obstacles ] sarvaabaadhaaprashamanaM trailokyaakhileshvari | evameva tvayaa kaaryamasmadvairivinaashanam.h || Go to the group files and read this mantra in Hindi script from the Durga Sapt Shati siddha mantra file. This will help you pronounce it correctly.
