Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hello Kalyx! How funny to run into you here! I'm also relatively new to this list and most of the reading is way over my head too, but I'm very excited about how much I've learned since I joined just lurking and reading. I, too, was drawn here by Matagni. I was doing an internet search because I read somewhere about her connection to Sarasvati and I stumbled upon this website and list. Now I've decided I'm going to try to learn as much about Tantra as possible and weave it into my personal path. As for vultures, I know that in the Ramayana a vulture tries to rescue Sita after she had been kidnapped and is injured trying to protect her. Also I remember reading an article on the NPR website last summer about the vulture population in India dying off, I found the link: http://www.npr.org/programs/atc/features/2002/june/vultures/ The article made the point that the vultures solved a major problem of disposing of deceased sacred cows and that their disappearance has caused problems. I hope this helps with your question.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Namaskar, Kalyx: Thank for for your kind words; it is a pleasure to meet another Matangi bhakta. *** Already I can see that much of the posts are way above my head *** Please do not feel that way. The concepts being discussed here are quite simple in their essence. The more complex ideas tend to be details that enhance one's sadhana, but are not essential. The most essential thing is the bhava, or feeling, that one brings to her or his devotional efforts. Some would disagree with me I am sure, but unless you are seeking lesser powers rather than larger spiritual goals, the feeling is more important than the mechanics. *** I actually follow a different path ... other what I've learned through my devotion to Mother Matangi I don't know much about Tantra) ... so I'm just going to delight in being among those who know Her, be quiet and learn. *** Please feel free to share from your path, and to ask any questions you may about Shakti Sadhana. We are all learning here, all the time - - but if we were all quiet, it wouldn't be much of a discussion group, would it? ;-) Aum Maatangyai Namahe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
