Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Namaste Jennifer: Thanks for sharing this wonderful technique. Indeed Maa has promised that She will be with us always, it is up to us to remember Her. You have taken that to heart and your life has been enriched. It is a great confirmation for us all that She responds to our prayers whatever technique we use. She knows the language of our heart, not just Sanskrit mantras. If other family members have learned other techniques please share them will us all. These past 9 days were very powerful and brought about many changes for us all. I pray we can grow deeper and deeper with Her. Jai Ma Jai Swami vishweshwar , " jrholm1007 " <jrholm1007 wrote: > > Hello everyone, I am feeling very grateful for all of the posts > during Navaratri.
