Significance of 108 / 1008 has been elaborately discussed in many sites... But to tell you in short form - 27 natchatras, Each natchatras 4 paadams 27 multiplied by 4 = 108 So in order to pacify all the adidevathas of all the natchatras and its devathas mantras are asked to chant for 108... Hope this clears....
Dear sir Pls could clarify my doubt on the following 1) wht is the diff going around Ganesha inside temple vs Ganesha that is under a bodhi sat a tree 2) In normal temple there is navagraha inside it, wht is the rule around praying to this navagraha for pregnant ladies 3) in north during prayer they cover the head but south we don't, why we don't cover in south.
Replies 1) Going around Ganesha temple is termed for goodness..and around a Bodhi tree is meant for health and progeny issues. 2) Good question, but wrong thing..... As far as pregnant ladies are concerned, it is not advisable to go around Navagraha in the temple as all the 9 planets will hold them for 9 months one bye one (which is 9 months pregnancy, and 10 month baby out)... Hope this clears
Dear Sir, Last Friday, I was given a Sree Yanthram by one of my friends. I received this on the day of Aadi-puram, when I had done "maa-vilakku" at home and I was very thrilled to have got it. Is there any specific pooja or sloka that I should be doing for this Yanthram ? I understand that you need a Guru's initiation to do elaborate poojas & recite slokas for the Yanthram. Currently, I follow the below procedure : In the mornings, I offer flowers to all the Gods and the Yanthram, during my regular prayers. In the evening, I offer little bit of kumkum to our Kulaidevam (Devi) and Sree Yanthram, after reciting Lalitha Sahasranama (I hold a small plate with kumkum in my hand while reciting LS). Is this ok ? Would appreciate your guidance on this. Om Sri Sai Ram

Don't worry. Go to a nearby temple and lit ghee lamp and pray. Believe in God and do it. Will be fine. Hope you feel better.
