Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Namaste' Thank you Swamiji for answering my questions. Thank you as well Vish for taking my questions to Swamiji. I hope my ancestors are pleased with the mantras and other offerings that I am giving them. I would like to try to come up on the 10th day (is that on Friday?) What would be a good time for me to arrive? All my love and gratitude.
