Warmest Welcome Arjunaacharya!

[Guest guest]

Salutations Brother Arjunaacharya,

 

What a delightful surprise to see you here!! Warmest Welcome!!!!!

Brought a joyful smile, thank you Arjunaacharyaji.

 

Hope you would visit regularly. Could do with your wonderful darshan

here any time )

 

You're right about the 125000 times for things to really kick off

unbelievably; but so true. You know I'm lazy as hell sometimes.....

It takes a special person of high discipline like yourself to see

the fruits. Truly admire you and appreciate your presence!

 

Jai Shree Ganeshaya Namah

guru does help speed one on the path, but practice is still

necessary. There are many mantras I have learned and used since I

received my original initiation.. It is often said that repeating

it sincerely 125000 times is needed to get the effect!
