We are supposed sit for a few minutes in any temple we visit - after
worshiping the deities but before leaving the temple premises.
WHY and for doing WHAT???
We are supposed to pray for these three things which actually decide our present, our future and our after-life in the future!

ray:
1. Give an easy death (anAyAsa maraNam) without suffering.
2. Give me strength and good health to be self dependent as long as I live
3. Give me a place under your lotus feet so that I can escape the endless
cycle of Birth and Death!
Our ancestors have thought of everything including the easy transition
from one state of being to another!
Death is inevitable but it can become easy and pain-free! Right???
