Like to chant the Chandi ? Then here is a sankalpa for you

[Guest guest]

Sorry to bother you with questions. When is the appropriate time for

the chanting?

 

Since I am used to chanting in the evening/night will it be O.K.

 

Jai MAA !!

Hi Sankar,

 

I doubt the details of the lunar calendar will be posted. It hasn't

been done since the beginning. Rather, it has been the practice to

encourage everyone to get their own panchanga and learn how to use it.

This way, we do not become dependent on someone else for our sankalpas

(and it cuts down on poor Nanda's workload).

 

There is a panchanga available for download, prepared for the Western

US. There are links on the same page to a world clock to help people

who live elsewhere to adjust for their time zone, and a presentation

(Power Point) to help one learn how to read a panchanga and make a

sankalpa.

 

Here's the link:

http://www.shreemaa.org/drupal-4.7.3/panchanga_2006_2007_0

 

Jai Maa!

Chris

Hi,

 

Yes. Always, in the past, it has been said that whatever time is most

convenient is the right time.

 

Your questions are never a bother!

 

Jai Maa!

Namaste!

 

I began this sankalpa this morning - and soon realized that I was very

confused! I just kept chanting, looking for the markers that are

listed below, but couldn't find them named. So, I am wondering if, for

those of us who are not as familiar with the text, some kind person

can list the corresponding page numbers in the Chandi Path book. For

instance, I looked in vain for something labelled " Kilakam " this

morning and couldn't find it. I just want to be able to do this

sankalpa correctly, and avoid complete discouragement.

 

Thank you!

-Sundari

Namaste Sundari,

 

every day, we will be reciting the mantras beginning on page 14 (we

bow to the respected Great Lord of Wisdom), and ending on page 33 (Om,

Peace, Peace, Peace).

 

Then we will also add a different part every day, so:

 

on day 1, we go on with p.34 (Sapta Sloki Durga), and continue, ending

with p.84 (why will people not sing Her praise?)

 

on day 2, we recite p.14-33 AND p.86 (The Praise to the Night of

Duality)- p.143 (end Chapter 1)

 

then on the next days until day 8, we recite 14-33 AND the Chapters

listed below

 

on day 8, we recite p14-33 AND p.303 (The mantra that removes the

curses)- p.357 (...Therefore I bow down to the Supreme Sovereign who

is the form of the Universe)

 

on day 9, we recite p.14-33 AND p.358 (Prayer for Forgiveness) - p.388

(...who takes aspirants across the difficult sea of objects and their

relationships)

 

I hope you have the same edition I use, otherwise we may get some

confusion with page numbers. But the parts of the text I put in

brackets after the pagenumber should help you identify the page.

 

if I have made any mistakes, I pray somebody will correct me,

 

with love,

 

Henny

Thank you everyone for your illumination! It turns out I just about followed the program today, with just a bit more to recite tonight.

Jai Maa !Some of the books come loose at the binding, but this is a blessing in disquise, because if one takes the book to a printer and has it bound with one of those spiral thingys, it is very much easier to use for chanting - because the book will lay flat and open, rather than having to be held open (since they want to close back up when they're new).

Yes Nanda, That is one reason I enjoyed the fall apart feature but like it also because the pages all come out so nicely that I can punch and put in note book and it stays open to where you are without having to clip or weight the page. Wonderful how it turns out.Nirmalananda Saraswati <nirmalananda1008 wrote: Jai Maa !Some of the books come loose at the binding, but this is a blessing in disquise, because if one takes the book to a printer and has it bound with one of those

spiral thingys, it is very much easier to use for chanting - because the book will lay flat and open, rather than having to be held open (since they want to close back up when they're new).

It says it is the 6th edition. 2001 do I need to get a newer one? DebiShankari Kali <shankari_kali > wrote: Dear Nanda,I just got my book today, and it is different from the version I had. It seems to have quite a

lot more hymns in it than the other version. In the Sankalpa, on the first day we are just reciting hymns, right? Are we just following each hymn or chapter in succession?Thanks,Shankari KaliNanda <chandimaakijai > wrote: Dear All, Thanks to YOUR momentum, a new Chandi Group Sankalpa has taken shape. Chris had taken your suggestion to Swamiji, and He has graciously given us a method of chanting the entire Chandi Path spread over 9 days. A big thank you to Chris for representing us and helping crystallize this sankalpa for the group. If you would like to chant the Chandi but were intimidated by completing the book in a day, or had time constraints because of work and the world, then this is a perfect opportunity. Also, if you are like me, and find yourself happily keeping at a sankalpa simply because "Maa told me to" , then this is another perfect reason to participate in this sankalpa. The power of Maa and Swamiji's words, the benefit of the group power will carry us through. So ... I earnestly ask you to join in !!! The sankalpa involves starting on the 1st day of the Shukla Paksha (Waxing fortnight) , and ends on the 9th day of the same fortnight. OUR FIRST GROUP CHANDI BEGINS ON APRIL 17TH = THE FIRST DAY OF VAISHAK Day 1: Devata Pranam through Kilakam Day 2: Devata Pranam through Shanti Path, and Vedoktam Ratri Shuktam through Chapter 1 Day 3: Devata Pranam through Shanti Path, and Chapters 2, 3 and 4 Day 4: Devata Pranam through Shanti Path, and Chapters 5 and 6 Day 5: Devata Pranam through Shanti Path, and Chapters 7 and 8 Day 6: Devata Pranam through Shanti Path, and

Chapters 9 and 10 Day 7: Devata Pranam through Shanti Path, and Chapters 11, 12 and 13 Day 8: Devata Pranam through Shanti Path, and Shapoddhara, utkilana, and mritasamjivani mantras, Navarna Viddhi through Murti Rahasya Day 9: Devata Pranam through Shanti Path, and Kshama Prathana through end Interested ?
