Dear Kavya,

Gayatri mantra is supposed to wash away all sins. It is specially ment for that purpose. But there is a hitch in it. It needs initiation and those traditionalist practicing it wiold not initiate it to either women or non bhramins. If you are a women you will no legitimate way of acquring this mantra. ( I personally dont believe in this Manu's dictum that no women and no sudhra can be initiated to gayatri or veda - and no moksha for them. However this wrong attitude prevails and you will not be initiated in to it.)

Dear Kavya,

Worshipping Siva with Vilva leaves will burn all sins. After killing asuras in war, which is a nessary evil the victorious devine warriors removed the sin of killing by siva linga worship. Lord Karthikeya for example, after his successful battel with sura patma worshipped Siva linga with bel patra (Vilva leafs) to clear the sin.

This is for any body and everybody.

Pravticing kundalini yoga, and attaining nirvikalpa samadi is the sure way of distroying all karma good or bad. It gives mukti.

Dear Ravi kishore,

Bel and Vilva are one and the same and refers to the common holy leaves offered to Siva, in his worship. This is a leafe with three leaves attached to the same stem. You can find it in any flower seller near a siva Temple. If you ask for it the seller will give you.

Peeple tree is a very common tree in India Its leaf is heart shapped with a tail like extention at the bottom of the heart. It is a holy tree hindus worship. Some times you will see a ganesa (Idol) sitting under this tree. You can see it in many temples (along with banian tree).

These two peeple and bale are very common. Ask a religious hindu
to show you.
