Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hi Kanna, It's really heartwarming to hear your feelings about how the Chandi sankalpa is binding your family together even while you are apart. It really does connect us all. It is very important to me too. I'm sorry to say we (those of us doing the Chandi sankalpa) are not chanting the Chandi together. The logistics of getting everyone together at the same time would be difficult, and would force some to forgo participation. Perhaps you're thinking of the daily recitation of the Chandi that Swamiji et al do at the Mandir every morning at 6:00 AM Pacific Time (that's right, isn't it Vish, 6:00 AM?). In Malaysia you are 25 hours ahead, so you would want to tune in at 7:00 AM your time. Thanks so much for sharing this. May she richly bless you and Veni as you worship together. Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Dear Kanna and Veni, I informed Swamiji you both are doing the Chandi sankalpa and he was very pleased. His words were: " Thats wonderful! Please give them my regards. " So, here they are! Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 It's just a thought, Kanna, but those feeds are really very bandwith intensive if you have basic DSL. If you are almost, but not quite getting the feed, why don't you try turning off one of the cameras and see if that helps. Jai Maa!
