Dear srini ~ thank you so much for sharing this with us. I was exactly

wondering why we were chanting the Gayatri Mantra and not at least

also adding the MM Mantra, which I have been told is often chanted at

death. What Swamiji said made so much sense and was so beautiful. I

don't know if everyone else in the digest is as hungry for these

wisdom stories and glimpses of what goes on at the Mandir as I am,

but this is like feeding a starving child to me. Thank you for asking

Swamiji the questions. Thank you for sharing the answers. I have only

read the first so far, and I am crying because it has touched my

heart so deeply. I am going to copy all of the questions and answers

for my DM Notebook, but, I'll just say it again, it is a precious

gift beyond measure to have this shared with us. Please thank Swamiji

for so lovingly sharing his knowledge. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda
