Dear Guruvayur Sri Krishna

I have visited these places almost in every month of the year and have been instrumental
in various groups plan their itinerary.

Even early this morning a group member called - at 4 am to update me on their progress. They
had completed Ayodhya and were to board a train to Allahabad.

The ideal time of the year would be now when all the rivers will be flowing full, with fresh water from
the Hills - just after the monsoon - Mid Aug to Send Sept. October onwards it becomes cold.

Summer time, there is very little water in the rivers [ tends to get contaminated] and also being the holiday
time for schools/colleges, the crowds can get irritating and unruly.

This time of the year will be ideal - all the streets too would have been rain washed - no stench
of urine or sights of human refuse - our people are experts in messing up places.

Like any other pilgrim spot, be on the alert for pickpockets, touts and other conmen.

I had been to Varanasi number of times. In fact we stayed for a fortnight
and did all the rituals. I have heard about the above temple and do not remember immediately.
However, the following temples are very prominent in Varanasi. Kasi Viswanatha Temple, Anna Purana
Temple, Sankata Temple, Kalabhairav Temple (a famous only), Mritunjaya Mahadev Temple, New
Viswanath Temple, Durga Mai Temple, Tulasi Manas Temple, Anjaneya Temples, Sankata Mochan
Temple, and Bharata Mata Temple. Sastrigal belonging to my from Swami Malai is there only.
If I ask him, he would be able to tell me. I shall let you know in the next post.

Dear Sir / Madam

Ref : Your post # 9

This Temple is also referred to as "Panch Kowdi Matha Temple " - opposite the
Durga Temple in Varanasi. Colloquially termed " Kowdi Bai Temple ".

There is enough data on the net .

Wishing you a safe and fulfilling Kashi Yatra. Should you require any information on the Yatra itinerary etc.,
please feel free to query on the Forum.

Dear Viji Mam

I have been there several times and have thrice organised [ actually led the groups ] Kashi Yatra for
groups of friends in Chennai - on a purely ' Cost Sharing ' basis.

By popular demand from friends, I might organize another tour [ group strength of 25 couples ]
- sometime 3rd week Feb 2013. We might take a full IInd class compartment if the group strength
swell to 35 couples.

But I don't want to, in any way sound like I'm 'canvassing' on this Forum. The bigger the group strength
the greater the responsibility for me.

Wishing you a safe, and fulfilling Yatra - I suppose you already know that the Yatra is completed in
Rameshwaram - with Theertham brought from Prayag [Allahabad] from Abhishekam there.

I am single-widow and in Coimbatore.
If I am well, I shall definitely join you.
Thank you.

Dear Viji Mam

Being a 'single' / 'widow' is no dis-advantage for performing Pitru Karyams in Gaya. There is no such rule
that only menfolk must do the karyams.

There is a famous legend [ sub story from the Ramayanam ] wherein Sita Devi herself does the Pinda Pradanam
for her F-in-Law, while her Hubby & B-in-Law are away in the forest.

When I mentioned 'couples', I meant it only to convey/calculate the group strength. We have had many
'singles' Gents and Ladies in our earlier groups. This time my Akka will be joining [my B-in-Law passed away
a couple of years ago].

I have not finalized anything yet - itinerary/costing anything. But please consider, my groups consist of a mixture
of Brahmins AND Non-Brahmins, and I hope that is OK with you. We travel together, stay together and eat together
as ONE unit - though the rituals are slightly different for NBs.

Will let you know once things are finalized.

Thank you for information.
Definitely do inform me when you finalize the programme.
I do not mind joining together as the home where I stay also there are non-brahmins. So no problem.
Thank you.
