[Guest guest]

Namaste Karen and Everybody,

 

thanks so much Parvati for this wonderful class!!!

 

It is so exciting and timely! Just a week from today - we will all be praying to Mother Kali

together! Jai Kali!

 

Karen - in answer to your second and third questions --

No need to sprinkle water. The mantras purify the mala and we ask (pray to the maala) to

illuminate us too!

 

 

> > Pg. 19 (tie a piece of string around right middle

> > finger or wrist)

> > Recite this mantra only.

> >

> > We do not do tie the string around our own finger or

Yes, completely correct! :-)

 

Jai Maa!! Thanks for your questions! I am waiting with you to learn from Parvati the answer

to your 1st question!

 

Jai Maa!
