GREETINGS

Pranam swamiji, Recently my brother went to shabirimala and he also visited all punya kshethras like Guruvayoor temple,padmabha temple, kanyakumari and so on…i felt very happy when he says abt guruvayoor temple and its traditions.i want to ask 2 questions 1.I listened that some people are saying the diety is directly frm vykunta but i want to know the greatness of guruvayoor temple frm ur words. and 2. I recently heard that when we chant manthras in punya kshethras it is 10 or 100 times more when compare to normal temples becoz it is swayamboo. and also heard that ganga river can remove the sins compare to normal rivers is it right swami. If yes then spirituality is differ frm place to place.
