Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Last night after class Maa and a couple of us offered 10 malas of " Om namah Sivayah " to the fire. At the end Maa laughed and said that She really enjoys saying " swaha! " just like Satyavrat who repeated " ai " . As we walked out of the temple Maa spoke about Shravan celebration in India and Her experience...and i paraphrase... " Devotees go on pilgrimages to the Ganges. There people take bamboo poles and decorate them. They fill two pots (also decorated) with Ganges water and place them on each end of the pole balancing the whole thing on one shoulder. They then start walking to Siva (Lingam) singing " Bole Bom Bom " . It is so beautiful. They don't care if they have to walk one, five, ten days. They just walk and sing. From Delhi they walk to Haridwar, from Gauhati they walk to Vashista's ashram. I walked this path, too. People have so much devotion; it is so beautiful to see.
