Yes - today is the beginning of Summer Navarathri.

 

....You can take any sankalpa to deepen your relationship with Divine Mother.

E.g., reading Chandi book. It is very auspicious to say Durga Mantra "Om

Hrim Shrim Dum Durgayai Namaha" -- So a nice sankalpa to take is to promise

Divine Mother that you will say this mantra a specific number of times every day

or within the 9 days.

 

 

Dear Ramya ~ thank you so much. Unfortunately, I cannot find my Chandi. I

did not get very far with my unpacking before I got the call that my mother is

dying. But the Durga Mantra is my lifeboat. I say it all the time. : ) So I

will stick with this and the EMS, and I have made a sankalpa to chant the MM

Mantra twice a day. My sister will be there, and she is a devotee of Maa and

Swamiji too, so I'm hoping we can do some worship together, in the in-between

times, since my mother is only aware a very few times in any given day.

 

Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda
