Hi Girish,
This is Nitin Pednekar.
I have seen your site on geocities so many times, I really want to thank you and the want to appreciate your sincere efforts plus collections of photos which you have uploaded on the site.
Specially the Album.html contains lot of info and images of Vengurla. First time I have seen good information about Vengule which is difficult otherwise to find out on the net.
I am a hardcore fan of Vengulre and its beauty infact of whole konkan. Currently I am settled at Mumbai but my native is at Vengurle(Ubhadanda) Near Helekar mandir.
Thanks
Nitin

Hi Girish,
I saw your web site. It has very valuable info about Vengurla. But I couldn't found a thing that I was searching for. I am interested in information about accommodation facilities in Vengurla and Malvan. If you can share some information regarding the same it will be a great help. I am planning to visit Vengurla and Malvan very soon.

Anyway I must compliment you for your efforts and feelings for our village. Will it be possible to scan an Image of dev Vetoba , Sateri , Mauli - Redi and Shiroda ?

The website has come out really great. Keep up the good job. I have visited the site quite a few times. I can't resist giving you a suggestion. Try to include the pictures of the temples of Rameshwar, Sateri, Vetoba and others.
We are a first 'Mankari' family of Shri Rameshwar as well as Shri Bhairi Bhawani (Sateri).
Let's keep in touch for any discussions in this regards.
Wishing you all the bast in your future endeavours.

Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2002 03:40:00 +0000
Hi,
I was just browing your pages. Thought you may be interested in picture of Navadurga Temple in Bhaktapur, Neapl (see attachment). Actually we are not allowed to take the picture of the idol of Navadurga in this particular temple. Just in case you are interested, the idol itself is about 6 to 8 inches tall. But, interestingly enough, the face of the Goddess is removed from the idol. I asked the locals of the reasons and found out that the Goddess is so powerful that the face had to be removed as it is beyond humans to see the face. And in this temple, they keep big clay masks of all nine durgas for worship. These masks are worn by the the temple's minders for different festivals etc. and for performing various rituals of dances. There are so many legends surrounding the temple that makes it very very interesting...
Thanks.
Regards,
Samir Shrestha

Subject: NAVDURGA name of godess Durga
Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2001 10:08:55 +0530

Dear Mr. G. Gavaskar,
I was just going through your site. Out of 108 names of Durgadevi you have mentioned one of the names is NAVDURGA. Please note that foral de Ilhas of Gancim village of the year 1546, a copy of which I have in my possession clearly states that the name of the goddess at that time was DURGA DEVI and Portuguese called her by name DRUGA DEVI. It was only when she was shifted from Gancim to Marcaim, Cundaim and Reddi that her name was changed to NAVDURGA. Please clarify whether the adjective NAV was added because new deity was being worshipped instead of old one or NAV is the name in puranas? ( Something to do with nine number). The goddess is no where known by name NAVDURGA in old Portuguse official books. She was known by name DURGA DEVI alone.
The gotras of Mahalsa are Atri, Bhardwaj, Kaushik, Koutsa and Gargya and that of Navdurga at Cundaim are only Gargya and that of Navdurga at Marcaim is Atri. Please let me know what the the gotra of Sunil Gavaskar. I am doing research on Gancim for last eight years.
Thanks,

This update is great. It is a very useful tool to educate the young and old to seek and identify their heritage. The updated 108 names surely will help folks with faith to practice their devotion. You may perhaps consider adding 'Vedic sutras' such as 'Shree Sukta, Devi Atharva Shirsha Sukta or Suktas from 'SaptaShati'.

Dear Mr. Girish Gavaskar saheb,
Saprem namaskar.

A couple of months back, when I was searching site of Mahalakshmi of Kholapur, I luckily came across your site of `Shri Devi Navadurga'. I visited your site again yesterday and I found it even better than before. Specially the link you have provided to other sites of temples and gurus is wonderful. Last month my family & I tried a lot to find out the site of Shri Swami Samarth of Akkalkot, but failed to find one. To our surprise, yesterday through your site, we got an easy access to that site. We thank you for that.
We are very much impressed by your site. We were wondering whether we could create a similar site of our Kuladevata, which is near Trambakeshwar, Nasik, Maharashtra.
It will be kind of you, if you can guide me as to how this can be made,
1) Is a photo of idol taken by digital camera required? 2) Are there any agencies, which undertake this work of creating a site?
How much do they charge approximately?
It will be kind of you if you guide us regarding this.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours truly,
Kiran Bhatte.

Dear Girish Gavaskar,
It was such a pleasant surprise to read your mail. It is truly enchanting to see how God connects His devotees all over the world, you in India and me in NJ,USA.
I did visit your website , and see that you have been meticulous about giving every detail about your family deity. I am sure your family Deity is very pleased with your devotion.
Being so far away in US, we really miss out on all the latest that comes from Sanatan. Maybe if you had some free time on you, you could translate and send us the articles that you learnt most from.So that seekers like us far away from India , can benefit from it. It would be really good to have some spiritual food for our soul.
Also, do visit the sanatan weekly we have started at www.Sanatan.org/weekly and give us your advise on it and comments on it.
And by the way, I am from Goa, hence it adds to the excitement of recieving this email.
Hoping to keep being in touch with you,
At His feet,

Hi Girish
I had a look at your site and since the Konkan Coast is a passion with me (I have a house at Devgarh - right behind the beach) I enjoyed your site and photographs. However, I am afraid we would not be able to exchange links as it is against our policy. I was wondering if you could add value to our site with your love for travel and penchant for gathering factual data. The format will have to be that followed by us on the articles that I showed you. If you can do that, we can help you put your articles on our front page. We get about 10,000 page views per day and that when we have not launched commercially. We soon intend to start hotel bookings and follow it up by commencing air line ticketing. Please let me know if you would like to part of our contributing community.

Thanks.

We can have many more modes to it. It can become an universal site for Saraswats worldwide that can cover many aspects of our culture.

Dear Girish,
It's really a wonderful site. I like it very much. I have few suggestions since you have all resources and technical capabilities to do it.
1. Separate out Ganapati's website and make it for all possible Ganapatis (E.g. AshtaVinayaka, Titwala, SiddhiVinayaka, GanapatiPule etc.)
2. Add all other KulDaivats of Saraswats such as RavalNath (Our KulaDaivat)
ShantaDurga
Mangesh
ChamundaDevi
Siddheshwar etc.
You can have a separate site for all possible Saraswat Kuldaivats.
Blessings from Kuldaivat before starting the routine work is a great idea.
It can give opportunity to see Kuldaivats to all Saraswats worldwide. You can suggest it in Saraswat Chaitanya and get it done too. Getting clear and professionally clicked photographs of such Kuldaivats is a only main task to be executed.
I hope you are not upset by my suggestions.
With warm regards
Raju
