Chitrakoot was considered to be a very sacred place in the Tretayuga, or the third epoch of the Hindu cosmology. Eleven of the 14 years of Lord Rama's exile were spent in the jungles of Chitrakoot. This is reason enough for pilgrims to flock to the place. Chitrakoot seems to sum up the religious ambience of the Northern Plains. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Thanks for the compliments Kishore. Most of us have broadband, 3.5 MB doesn't really matter much. I remember a 4.5 MB podcast too! I was going to add a flute tune from " Call of the Valley " in the background, would have inflated it to 10 MB or more :-D Ravin '82 PS: Yes, I do know the next line... jab lagi Ram ko thand... :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
