[Nookala Satish Kumar]

Dear Shri Sastri,

I am very very thankful for your kind help in rendering me the correct
version of dhayana slokas. I would be delighted if you can send me the
Devanagari version of the same (both Ganapathi and Shakti
Panchakshari). My email is nosaku at gmail.com

Once again I am very thankful to you.

Regards,
Satish.
