Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Namaste Carie: I am glad the data helped. I prayed to Maa to type the proper information for you both. I always ask Her, in my heart, what to post. Regarding the pronunciation, I listened to Maa's pronunciation, and broke the mantra in parts this way: trailok yasya khilesh vari When I chant the entire mantra daily for the sankalpa, I pray to Maa each time, and ask Her to bless my attempts, and to magnify my prayers, and all our prayers, to help this Universe. In that way, if my pronunciation is off, I offer the best I can to Maa, and She will take care of it. So, not to worry, do your best. God knows what is in your heart. Please keep in touch, and join us on the web for the live broadcasts of class every evening at 6:30 Pacific time. All the classes are stored there too and can be watched anytime. There is so much data there. A treasure house of techniques and information to help you find the best methods to have a direct and personal relationship with God, in whatever form you feel most attracted to. We are here anytime for questions and to help. Jai Maa Jai Swami vishweshwar , "Carie M" <m.cirene wrote: > > Thank you for what you have sent; it seems you know what we have been > looking for.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi Carie, I hope you don't mind if I break in here... It looks like you may have decided to pursue the sankalpa. I think this is great, a very good choice. If I may, I would like to suggest that you commit to the entire one hundred thousand repetitions. I can see that you are struggling with the mantra, and so it must seem a huge commitment, but the discipline it requires will really get you going on the path to regular and fruitful sadhana (spiritual practice/discipline), and of course it will get much easier with time and practice. This mantra has all of Mother's and Swamiji's blessings and power behind it. Couple that with the fact that so many of us are reciting it at the same time, and this mantra is an open door to divinity, filled to bursting with shakti (divine energy). You will be doing great good for the world, and as Maa has also said, you will get many blessings, yourself. A sankalpa, in case you don't already know, is a holy vow. All of us who are reciting the mantra have taken the vow to complete it. Take the sankalpa and join us. Just let Nanda know you have done so, so she can include you in the list, and keep her informed of your weekly total. At this point, three malas a day will get you close to the required number by the end of the year. You may need to add to that later on, but it will be easy by then. May God bless you, whatever you may decide... Jai Maa! Chris , "inspectionconnection108" <inspectionconnection108 wrote: > > Namaste Carie: > > I am glad the data helped.
