点评:I was fortunate enough to go to Gaya to perform Pind Dhaan for my mother in Jan of 2025. Based on prior reviews on TripAdvisor, I contacted Bhanu Kumar Shastriji a month before and scheduled a date. I explained to him that my father is alive and need to do pind dhaan for my mother alone. He collected details like gotra, veda sect etc and provided me the date I had requested for. He was able to communicate very well in English, Tamil and Telugu. I stayed in BodhGaya and he asked me to wait at the entrance to Vishnu Paad Mandir. He sent his associate to bring meto his place, a short walk (100m).
He explained everything to me in detail on what he is going to do in a very clear manner. Since my father was alive, he did the additional Matru shradham apart from pind dhaan. He mentioned I can pay what I can and was not demanding any money. His place is clean and I was able to do the ritual in a peaceful manner. He did the ritual in a very thorough manner, explaining to me after every mantra on what it means. His associate was very helpful and guided me with the rest of the process. After the ritual, his associate came with me so I did not have to deal with any intermediaries when submitting the pind at banks of Phalguni River (to the cows as we are not allowed to leave the pind in the river, since it was not flowing), at akshaya vat and at vishnupad mandir. All these were within 50m walking distance from his house and were very convenient. After that, the associate took me to a common kitchen, where two brahmins came and partook meals and blessed me. I returned to Sharstri’s place, took his blessings and came back to the hotel. The overall process took around 4 hours. I highly recommend BhanuKumar Shastriji for performing Pind Dhaan at Gaya.

翻译:2025 年 1 月,我有幸前往 Gaya 为母亲举行 Pind Dhaan。根据 TripAdvisor 上之前的评论,我在一个月前联系了 Bhanu Kumar Shastriji 并安排了日期。我向他解释说,我父亲还活着,需要单独为母亲举行 pind dhaan。他收集了 gotra、veda 教派等详细信息,并提供了我要求的日期。他能够很好地用英语、泰米尔语和泰卢固语交流。我住在菩提伽耶,他让我在 Vishnu Paad Mandir 的入口处等候。他派他的同事带我去他家,步行一小段路(100 米)。
他非常清楚地向我详细解释了他要做什么。由于我父亲还活着,除了 pind dhaan 之外,他还做了额外的 Matru shradham。他说我可以支付我所能支付的费用,并且不要求任何费用。他的住处很干净,我能够平静地进行仪式。他非常仔细地完成了仪式,在念完每句咒语后都向我解释咒语的含义。他的同伴非常乐于助人,指导我完成其余过程。仪式结束后,他的同伴陪我一起来,这样我就不用与任何中间人打交道,在 Phalguni 河岸(献给牛,因为河里没有水,所以我们不能把 pind 留在河里)、akshaya vat 和 vishnupad mandir 献上 pind。所有这些都在距离他家 50 米步行距离内,非常方便。之后,同伴带我去了一间公共厨房,两位婆罗门来这里吃饭并祝福我。我回到 Sharstri 的住处,接受他的祝福,然后回到酒店。整个过程大约需要 4 个小时。我强烈推荐 BhanuKumar Shastriji 在 Gaya 执行 Pind Dhaan。您可以拨打 99340-89203 联系他。
