[Guest guest]

Hello Ralph,

 

 

Ik had in Wassenaar gewoned maar nu ben ik in Malaysia.

 

Ik kan spreak Nederlandse taal maar mine schrijf taal is nog niet duidelijk.

Nederlandse grammatica is mogelijk en andere reden mine dochter naar

International school geweest. So, Opportunites were rare to pick up and

learn perfectly.

 

Ik kan wel leze and verstand jouw taal. Daarom het is geen problem.

 

I shall go through your site and article before commenting. One observation-

You ask more question on Shiva than on shakti and yet you run devi- asharam

- any reason, I am just curious. raji

I WOULD THINK MATRIKA'S ARE devi's OWN REFLECTIONs, in other words

different aspect of same devi. We have three element when comes to

spirituality - ie. Mantra, Yantra and Tantra. They all go hand in hand.

 

I have not yet gone any where near Yantra and Tantra to comment.

 

Some learned member can guide you. We hindu's feel holy towards cow - and

many in South are vegetarians. My roots are from South but upbrining is from

Bombay.

 

Anyway, Mag ik een vraag stelen- Welke deel van Nederlandse komt u? raji.
