Dear Chris and everyone ~ I'm guessing that the watching is real time. Does anyone know if these segments are being archived and are available, and where I would go to see them. I don't know if I can catch up, and, of course, I didn't know about the Chandi Sankalpa until now. Perhaps someone can fill me in. As I said to Vish, I will be sure to check the next Digest no matter what. Also, I noticed in an earlier post you wrote to Sundari that this was the first day, or class. Does that mean that tonight would be the Devata Pranam through Shanti Path, and Vedoktam Ratri Shuktam through Chapter 1? I LOVE Ma Chandi, and I could use Her Armor and guidance at the moment. My husband and I split up (for the second time). I welcomed him back, partially because I am so sick, and I need help, partially because I hoped we could work it out. But I discovered very quickly that he was still going to be abusive, and I could not handle being terrified much of the time. So I am trying to do my best to do what needs to be done, though most days, if I eat twice a day, I'm doing well. I believe Ma Chandi would welcome me back, and I always hold her in my heart. I have read through the Chandi many times, and each time, I find something new to learn ... it is never ending. I do think I will have to break down and buy the newest version of the Chandi, though, because, even a year ago when we were doing a Chandi sankalpa, all the Chapters and page numbers were different in my book. I've figured out that if I look at the beginning of the actual chapters, I can find what I'm looking for, like the Devata Pranam ... I will look for these for tonight. Thank you so much. Jai Chandi Ma ~ Linda P.S. to Muktimaa, my dear sister ... I finally got one of those glorious flower crystal tea light holders. :::sigh::: I love it. See what's free at AOL.com.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hi Linda, It's great to see you again, even though your news is not all good. The Chandi sankalpa is in its third day now, and we are chanting the Devata Pranam (also called the kushandika) which, in case you don't remember, starts at the very beginning and goes through the shanti path, then we are doing chapters 2, 3 and 4. The Devata Pranam is done each day before the new section. You can find the video class archives here: http://www.shreemaa.org/drupal/node/721 May Chandi Maa give you energy! roganasheshanapahamsi tushta rushta tu kaman sakalanabhishtan | tvamashritanam na vipannaranam tvamashrita hyashrayatam prayanti || When you are pleased you destroy all infirmities, and when you are displeased you frustrate all desires. No calamity or disease befalls those who take refuge in you, and those who take refuge in you invariably become a refuge to others. Jai Maa!
