Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Jai Ma Kali!!! Namaskar everyone, Tomorrow I leave for India it is my first trip and my excitement can not be expressed through words only. Please wish me luck. It is Goddess Kali Ma's blessing for me to be taking this trip. I had a vision of her over 3 years ago and have prayed daily since and now I am off to visit her in Kolkata!!! I will be continuing my study of Tabla as well as learning the Bangla langua. I am living with members of the Baul sect and will study there music as well this is such a beautiful thing. Has anyone here been to Bengal before???? If you know of any interesting things I should check out please let me know about it. I understand Bengal is a big center of Shakti worship and I would like to learn more about Shaktism and Tantra. I really would love to get initiated into some sort of Shakta sect that practices rituals. I love rituals!!! I don't before much myself because I don't want to do anything wrongly! However I work with what I have and will do simple pujas with food and drink offerings, prayers and candle burning that sort of thing. I really would like to learn more esoteric forms of worship and hope to get some more formal training in Bengal. So if you know of anything in particlar I should check out or do while I am there please let me know. I love this list so much I am keeping it even in India and will post anything interesting that I learn as well. Thanks so much for all the great discussions and information I really feel like my knowledge has grown through this group Take Care and wish me luck!!! With Love, William Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
