Navaratri Greetings from Devipuram

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends:

 

Namaskar! As you may know the nine-day festive season of Devi

Navaratri begins this year on Thursday October 14 and will continue

through Friday, October 22. On this sacred festival of Navaratri,

Guruji and Amma from Devipuram, India, convey Devi's blessings and

sincere wishes to all.

 

On this blessed occasion, we are pleased to announce the following

updates:

 

(1) We are thankful to all of you for the overwhelming response to Sri

Nandakumar Nayar's earlier audio of Guru Stotram. Impelled by the

encouragement and requests from many of you for "more", we are

delighted to release a brand-new melodious audio of the Mahalakshmi

Ashtakam in Nandakumar's voice. This audio can be downloaded at:

http://www.vi1.org/mantras/mlstotra/mla.shtml. On this page you will

also be able to download a pdf document of the text (in Sanskrit with

explanations in English) for the Mahalakshmi Ashtakam. In addition, on

this page you will also find a description of Guruji's meditative

vision of Sri Mahalakshmi. We thank Nandakumar for his generousity in

volunteering his time and talent for the Devipuram/Vi projects.

 

(2) An exclusive Devipuram Screen Saver which can be downloaded at:

http://www.vi1.org/screensaver.shtml. Please follow the instructions

on this page for downloading and installing the screen saver. We are

grateful to Sachin, a graphics artist based in Bangalore, for

developing this beautiful screen saver. We are also thankful to Don

McKenna and Sriganesh Madhvanath for providing the pictures embedded

in this screen saver.
