Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Thank you Lady Joy-ce! This web page is simply beautiful and the Gayatri chant here is sung in the most melodious voice! i have forwarded this link to all my near and dear ones so they can enjoy the divine sound of this MANTRA! Yes! women were not supposed to chant this mantra ; and that too one has to be initiated into chanting this mantra.... so on and so forth! but guess what! Joyce! This is what Swami Vivekananda says ... "Quoting the Shukla Yajur Veda (XXVI - 2), Swami Vivekananda asks: "Can you show any authority from this Veda of ours that everyone has not the right to it? This Veda is our only authority, and everyone has the right to it." (Collected Works Vol III - 457) Go ahead ! my girl-friend! It is the purity of the heart that counts and the 'shraddha' ( love and devotion) with which you approach the lotus feet of the Divine! In the Srimad-Bhagavatam (9.4.68), the Lord says: sadhavo hrdayam mahyam sadhunam hrdayam tv aham mad-anyat te na jananti naham tebhyo manag api "The devotees are always in My heart, and I am always in the hearts of the devotees. The devotee does not know anything beyond Me, and I also cannot forget the devotee. There is a very intimate relationship between Me and the pure devotees. Pure devotees in full knowledge are never out of spiritual touch, and therefore they are very much dear to Me." So, Joyce- you have pure 'love' In your heart and only a lover Of Krishna recognizes another Lover! With LOVE, HONOR AND RESPECT TO A FELLOW PILGRIM ...
