Good questions Eric!

 

I could answer some of them, but I'll wait for someone with more

experience than I have to do it.

 

Jai Maa!

It would benefit all the members if a document can be made with the

details of procedures exclusively for monthly CHANDI PATH recitation.

 

Maa Nanda had conducted a Puja class sometime back. May be excerpts

from that and additional details with reference to CHANDI Path.

 

I am requesting this as I do not think a Shodopachara Puja is done in

Shanti Path. I may be wrong.

 

Jai MAA !!!

I would like to elaborate on my earlier message.

 

I request that Maa Nanda and others to clarify whether what I have

stated below is correct.

 

The recitation of SRI SRI Chandi is not a Puja but a Japa. We recite

the Shanti Path which is basically a prayer for Peace. It includes

Devata Pranam or prayers to all Gods and Goddesses.

 

Only Deepa (Light) and Dhupa (Incense) are mentioned in the text.

 

Other offerings like Camphor (Karpura Neerajanam), Arghya, Akshada

etc. (which are part of Puja) are not part of this prelude to CHANDI

Parayana.

 

I do Naivedyam to Vigneswara and MAA after the CHANDI Parayana as part

of our daily Puja.

 

Jai MAA !!!
