Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Hello, I will certainly pray for your health and well being when I do my next Chandi recitation. If you are in and around the Bay area, we could also get together to do a puja for your health. May I suggest that you chant the Tryambakham mantra for improving your health.
