Input Requested: Khadgamala FAQ

[Guest guest]

Now that the Khadgamala is up, I've already received a couple of

useful suggestions, so I suspect a new, slightly edited version will

be up by week's end, incorporating these suggestions (which are

mainly clarifications of the English translation.)

 

At the same time, I am sensing there is a definite need for a

Khadgamala Devis Series FAQ. Because there seems to be a lot of

misunderstanding (1) as to what exactly it is; (2) as to how it's

done; and (3) as to what it means.

 

Here are my proposed questions -- are these OK? Any additional

suggestions? What I might do is incorporate this into the KS

document itself -- as an Introduction of sorts, built in as a kind

of crash orientation for anyone who wants to undertake this most

valuable and holy practice.

 

Here goes:

 

1. What is the "Khadgamala Stotram"?

 

2. Why did you post it?

 

3. Why should I use it?

 

4. How do I begin?

 

5. How should I use it?

 

6. How often should I use it?

 

7. What is the effect of using it supposed to be?

 

8. What does the symbolism mean?

 

9. Is it okay to recite Khadgamala Stotram without a guru?

 

10. I'm confused by all of the pictures and posts surrounding

this "Khadgamala Devis Series." Do I have to know or memorize all

this stuff?

 

Should that do the trick? Or is more needed?

 

All input welcome and appreciated!

 

Thanks
