sAligrAmams

[Guest guest]

srI:

 

My humble salutations to the holy lotus feet of HH Sri Sri Sri Jeeyar

swamivaru.

 

Swamivaru, after a long time I came for a visit to India and would

like to visit your Ashramam in Seeta Nagaram. I will be grateful if

swamivaru can bless me with a sAligrama sila during my visit.
