Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hello Sy, I remember that you said some time ago that once when you were ill you were a Durga Kavach with your navaratna ( something like that...). Yesterday I did a search in Rudra Centre but I didn't find nothing related with Durga. Could you please help me in this? By the way, for some time now I want to buy a - small... - Durga statue but with no luck until now in Portugal. Do you know a place where I can order a Durga statue?
