Chandi Sankalpa (Day Four!)

[Guest guest]

Hey! How did it go?

 

I think this sankalpa (all of them, really) is important - as you all

do, I'm sure - and deserves a little something posted every day, even

if it's just a short note, so, here it is!

 

This recitation went really fast for me. I enjoyed it a lot (I enjoy

it all a lot, I guess - I must, because I want to keep saying so!). I

hated to leave my Divine Mother surrounded by a vast army of thoughts

bent on her subjugation, but I have a feeling She'll get the better of

them all tomorrow

 

Here's a question that came to my mind today, and I wonder what you

all think...What do you think is that " excellent spirit " She Who Tears

Apart Thought was drinking again, and again, that created " wild

ecstasy " and allowed Her to destroy the Great Ego with such ease

(yesterdays recitation)?

 

Tomorrow (today, really - I'm writing this at about 8:30 A M on

Saturday) we get to my favorite (OK, one of my favorites) part, where

Kali manifests with such great energy and just devours everything! See

you on the battlefield!

 

Saturday - Day Five (past the half-way mark!) The Kushandika (Devata

Pranam) and Chapters Six and Seven.

 

To all of my fellow sankalpians: Your energy keeps buoying me up and

pushing me along, so to you I say, " namastasyai , namastasyai ,

namastasyai, namo namah. "

 

Jai Maa!

Namaste Chrisji,

 

I have wondered myself about the 'excellent spirit'. And I don't know,

but here's an attempt (and I am open to other suggestions:)): since

there is some emphasis on the colour red in these lines ('red eyes'

and 'Her mouth became red'), I associate the drink with passion, with

the passionate Love of Life, the sheer extasy of Being. When our

consciousness becomes completely filled with the Love of Life (Life in

whatever name or form, loving all the transformations), even the Great

Ego must lose his head and become a Lover.

 

Jai Maa!

Yeah, I'm thinking passionate devotion, or perhaps the distilled

essence of the devotion of all the Gods.

 

This is an esoteric, experiential thing, I think, associated with the

kundalini, the sexual energy and ojas, emotion/passion, amrit, and the

lunar energy, all of which are associated with water or liquid in some

way. It's interesting!

 

Jai Maa!
