点评:I visited Gaya for the Pind Dan of my parents in March 2025. Since I had no idea of the rituals etc I contacted several pandas, including Pandit Gautam Gayab ji, whose number I got from the internet. Out of all the persons, I found Pt Gautam ji the most reasonable, extremely polite and reassuring, after my telephonic discussion. After reaching Gaya, Panditji himself came to meet us where we were staying and made arrangements for the smooth conduct of my parents' Pind Daan, next day. As I am unable to sit on the floor, due to a spinal problem, Panditji even made arrangements for footstools for me and my wife. The Pind Daan was completed smoothly by the panda designated by Panditji, who was also personally present. He explained each step of the rituals so we could understand the essence of it and the deeper religious significance. The cost was absolutely reasonable and as per the tentative estimate that he had given. I would advise to carry some notes of small denomination for giving dakshina to the numerous hands that will come for alms and for dakshina at the temple. But there was no compulsion and no harassment as the panda designated by Pandit ji was monitoring everything. It was really a soul touching memorable experience. Panditji also has residential accommodation at his residence as an option.
My deep gratitude to Pandit Gautam Gayab ji (m- 9234270031) for dispelling my apprehensions regarding Gaya visit for Pind Daan and making it a deeply fulfilling religious event.

翻译:2025年3月,我前往伽耶参加父母的“品丹”(Pind Dan)。由于我对相关仪式一无所知,我联系了几位“大师”(Pandit),包括我从网上找到的Pandit Gautam Gayab ji。电话沟通后,我发现Pt Gautam ji在所有参加者中最为通情达理,彬彬有礼,令人安心。抵达伽耶后,Panditji亲自到我们住的地方接我们,并安排第二天我父母的“品丹”(Pind Daan)能够顺利举行。由于我的脊椎问题,我无法坐在地板上,Panditji甚至为我和妻子准备了脚凳。品丹由Panditji指派的大师顺利完成,他也亲自出席了。他详细讲解了仪式的每个步骤,让我们理解仪式的精髓及其更深层次的宗教意义。费用非常合理,与他给出的初步预算完全一致。我建议带上一些小面额的钞票,用来给前来化缘和在寺庙里施舍的众多人施舍。但潘迪特·吉指定的熊猫一直在监视着一切,所以没有强迫或骚扰。这真是一次触动心灵、令人难忘的经历。潘迪特·吉的住所也提供住宿选择。
我衷心感谢潘迪特·高塔姆·盖亚布·吉(手机:9234270031),他消除了我对前往盖亚寺参加Pind Daan的担忧,使这次宗教活动非常充实。
