Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Dear group, I can't remember if I have shared this yet. Some of you know of my frustration about not having the right book at the right time, especially the Advanced Shiva Puja. I had a sense that I already had a copy of the book, and so I resisted buying another one. But it wasn't where I "remembered" putting it in the trailer, and as we packed the trailer off, I never found it. Then, the other day, I was unpacking a box marked "books," that had been in storage in Oregon for 5 years! And so guess what I found? The Advanced Shiva Puja, as perfect as if I had just received it. What a gift to be drawn to open that box, especially as I have been focusing mostly on getting kitchen stuff unpacked. I hugged it; I kissed it, and now I am reading/reciting it, doing as Swamiji recommends in his introduction ... to see what mantras or aspects of the book speak to my heart and make them my own. When I saw that book in the box, my spirit danced a little jig. (Now I just have to figure out which box my Chandi is in ... if it isn't one thing, it's another.) And now, next time we do something that draws on the Advanced Shiva Puja book, I have it! As my grandmommie used to say, "a caution and a wonder."
