As one new to the faith, could you make specific suggestions as to what I should read and/or be doing? The little experience I've had is with the Hare Krishna's but I'm venturing into worshiping Siva. Any help would be greatly appreciated."<<< Hello, I think it would really be helpful to read "Before Becoming This" as well. It can give you a grounding in the approach of Shree Maa and Swami Satyananda Saraswati and that can, in turn, help you to feel commpletely at ease with the information you are receiving and how to put it to use. In my experience, everything is offered freely and generously from the heart. As Steve suggested..the "Shiva Puja" is a great place to start....the "Shiva Puja...beginners" seems, at first glance, to be fairly "simple" (just like the "Durga Puja..Beginner's version") but, in reality it contains the basic components to doing virtually any puja. The simplicity really allows you to focus on the meaning behind the actions you are performing without getting too worried about "doing it right". It's really wonderful when you have "mastered" the short version enough to relax and begin to see what arises as the result of worshiping in this way. best of luck to you, sadhvi <*> / <*> <*> Your Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
