I would like to add that in my opinion the peace around great souls,
their samadhis and famous places of worship is a real and tangible field
of calm and serenity and not experienced just due to the belief of the
persons visiting or because of the inscense sticks and camphor lighted,
just as the mantra has a power of its own.

Suresh.
