Swamiji's Chandi this morning and Special blessings for Linda and Mayi

[Guest guest]

Dear All esp Linda,

 

This morning I tuned into the Devi Mandir audio broadcast. And what a

time to tune in - Swamiji was asking for the boons in Chapter 13 . He

was asking of the Divine Mother "Always stay in the Devi Mandir and

bless those that pray in the Devi Mandir. Bless those that stay in the

Devi Mandir. Bless the families of the Devi Mandir" .

 

It is such a wonderful way to begin a morning.

 

So I let the broadcast continue while I went about my morning schedule -

and after Swamiji finished the Chandi, he said "Here is a special

blessing for (he mentioned a few names and then).... and LINDA and MAYI"

..

 

I was very happy to hear that Linda and knew you would like to know, and

hence this post []

 

Anyways, Swamiji chanted a blessing and then offered a coconut into the

fire. He also said that the reason coconut is offered to the fire is

because it is the purest offering of nourishment of all creation.

 

And finally, after he finished the homa, he said "Well - you all have a

nice day, I am off to answer all your emails" [:x]

 

JAI SWAMIJI !!!

Dear Nanda,

 

What are good times to try to listen to the audio broadcasts? I seem

to never get anyone when I try to tune in. Thanks.

 

Jai Maa,

Govindji,

They are on Pacific Standard Time (west coast of the USA). At their

time, I believe Arti happens around 5:15 or 5:30am, although there

were songs to the Divine Mother starting at 4:30am during Navaratri.

 

Swamiji will start chanting the Chandi Path most days (except Sunday)

at about 6am. On Sundays other people come to the Temple so the time

may vary. Also there was a recent post about time changes due to the

current heat wave in California. Shree Maa and devotees also do puja

at various alters in the mornings, but I think it is Swamiji that will

wear the microphone and be chanting at the fire. There is Arti and

Shree Maa's mid-day puja, but I have not heard that she will be

wearing the microphone. She does not do this at the fire so will be

some distance from the main microphone.

 

Last night he mentioned that today, after the Chandi, he was to chant

the Cosmic Puja at 10am. Some days Sriniji does this.

 

In the evenings there is usually a group chanting of a text...perhaps

tune in around 6:30pm?? Definiately by 7pm. Often in the evenings

Swamiji also has a bit of Satsanga commentary during the evening

chanting time. When that is completed (around 8pm?) there will be

arti. Sometimes Shree Maa does kirtan in the evenings.

 

Also, there are devotees that chant during the night. I don't think

there is a set schedule, but someone seems to everynight. Not sure

that they will be wearing the microphone but we should be able to hear

them if they are at the fire.

 

All seems to change with special holidays/events.

Could someone at the Mandir give us a better schedule?

Thanks

Jai Maa

Dear Govind,

 

If I may add a couple of things to Sadhu Maa's beautiful time line....

Sunday chanting of the Chandi Path has moved to 7am (California time)

until the summer heat subsides ( no set date yet). Arati in the

evening starts at 8pm except for Saturdays when it starts at 7:30pm.

 

Hope to see you there!

 

Jai Maa,

Gauri
