Effect of doing good deeds
By
Srivathsa Somadeva Sharma
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
Every religion believes that
doing good deeds would lead to
blessing of God and personal benefits in
life. Ofcourse this differs slightly
from religion to religion. Hinduism
believes that every one should lead a
good life. This list of good deeds and
the gift that we are likely to get by doing them is given by a great
Scholar called Srivathsa Somadeva Sarma. This material is
the English translation of the information that he has given in a book
called “Stotra ChinthamanI” published in Tamil by Sri Surabhi Jagatguru Publications , Madras
in the year 1998.Most of these good deeds are extremely easy to perform. Even
if you do not believe in them, Why not try to do them and see for yourself
whether they are true or not?
1.Grow a forest of Thulasi (ocimum), your sins would go
away.
2.Worship a Brahmin,
your dangers would go away.
3.Grow trees, your life in this world and in heaven would be
pleasant.

Very Great sir. Thank you for posting. Can you please tell me if chanting of the mantars has to be done i asan all the time to have the benefit or they can be done in any way like walking and doing some work while on foot wear ? sitting in asan is not possible for me due to less time and more chants.
Thank you
Hello Sir, Can you please tell if mantra japa has to be done in asan or it can be done while we walk and with foot wear on too? Many thanks
Kumar
