A student's and teacher's humility- to Ryan

[Guest guest]

Namaste Ryan:

 

The "Guru and the Goddess" book will provide 2 methods of using the

mantras.

 

1. repeat the negative mantra then the positive one, for 1 mala which

equals 108 times.

 

2. repeat the negative mantra for 1 mala, 108 times, then repeat the

positive one 1 mala, 108 times.

 

When you get the book, we can discuss it in detail. It is very

powerful and very helpful.

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
