Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Namaste All- I just wanted to share a beautiful experience I had last night. I was re-reading Before Becoming This, and I felt a very intense longing to feel the presence and blessings of Shree Maa. I tuned into that longing and said a prayer to her, asking her to aid me in my devotions and practice. I also told her that I wanted very much to see her in person one day. Last night, after praying and reading a while longer, I had the most wonderful dream. I dreamt that I had the privilege of going on a retreat with Shree Maa. I was dressed in a very heavy, linen sari with orange fringe, and a mala around my neck. There was lots of singing and meditation and fellowship. I felt soooo peaceful. When I awoke this morning I thought about it, and "heard" Shree Maa's voice say to me, "Why don't you wash up and do some puja?". So I did! I felt very joyful to do so, as well. I don't yet know the full Durga or Shiva beginners puja, and I don't have all the physical supplies (although I realize it is the intention and devotion that really counts), so I lit a candle and some incense using the mantras from the pujas that I do know, and just sat in that peaceful state. I felt really blessed and look forward to more experiences like that! Can somebody please tell me the Shree Maa gayatri again? I had it on one of the lovely cards that is sent along sometimes with the various materials from Devi Mandir, but I seem to have lost mine! Are there other prayers or mantras that I can do to bring me closer to her energy and stay there more consistantly? Thanks, ~Devi~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hi Devi, I goes like this: Om sanaatani maayaa vidmahe jnaana prakaashaayai dhimahe tanno shrimaam prachodayaat I think the sankalpa mantra is a good one for tuning in....
