TO DEVI

[Guest guest]

Namaste Devi: I marvel at your life. Maa and Swami have really

entered into your heart, and your entire life. What an incredible

blessing. So great you are doing Cosmic puja. I hope you will share

your experiences from it with us all.

Maa and Swami constantly remind us to live a spiritual life, not to

get lost in meditation, puja, etc., but take the mantras out into the

world and make it a better place. You are certainly following their

direction. What benefits this knowledge is bringing to you. Thanks

for sharing your experiences.

I too liked doing the Durga mantra during Navaratri, and am still

doing it. I do Durga puja daily so it fits right into my life.

Glad Sascha is out of pain. Still praying for you all.

My family is doing well. Son in college, living at home, and working

with Swami editing class on his computer. Bharati is great, and we

all wish you and your family well

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami

plans for Navarati were to add Cosmic Puja and Chandi if possible to

my practice. This has gone very well.

this summer also.

do most of it with the group but lessoned in to see what was to be

done next.

sections til can talk to Swami about it somemore. Set up pot for

Navarati and that went well also. Have a few questions to ask Srini on

flower placement and need to go back over Cosmi class to see what I

can answer on my own before taking up others time with questions.

added to practice.

> As for the Chandi I was unable do things with Mandir and take care

of family so did it in 9 day incriments and along with Mandir on

Sunday. But to my great joy have done it all the way through BYMYSELF

this past Sunday. Followed what is done on Sun and took 4 hrs so was

very pleased.

> It has been a sore spot for me for a while. Seemed each time I

had made plans to do things with group something came up to put it

politely. It was a great lesson in serving others and seeing divinty

in everyone. Now that I see I can do them myself there is no longer

the treat of anger from ego saying but I I I I wanted to do this and I

I I can't do it with out doing it with group because I I I I can't do

it b y m y s e l f. All excuse have been erased by Durga.

> Mantra was the best. Really enjoyed it. Was doing it at the

Dentist too and had no pain or fear. My dentist said he want's to do

it now. He's practiced yoga for a while & meditates and is so good to

help his patient with the fear factor and relaxation at the dentist.

I have gone from fear to sleep at the office because of Maa and Swami

and Ramakrishna. The doctor just had to ask me how my last three

visits have gone so well. Told him Maa sits in that chair in that

corner and Swami in that corner and today Ramakrishna Danced &

laughed at my feet. How cld I be anything but ok. Then he wanted to

know about the Durga Mantra.

> Going to the dentist after meeting Maa is like going to the temple

and the temple can be in India, America or anywhere we deside to go.

My favorite place is inside my heart. Dr. Harmon had to ask me

several time the same question last visit and I told him I was sorry

but he would just have to give me a min. just not fully back yet. He

smiled and said, HEY I want to go there!

a busy and wonderful Navarati.

lesson to what I am directed to do but to DO what is given to do.

From bowing at seat to not going to Navarati just because something

wasn't right. I have learned more clearly than ever that God speaks

to us all the time we just don't appriciate it enough or trust that

voice enough to respond.

just wasn't right I would have bought the

became manifest and the reasons were clear and it all turned out for

the best. I learned that first we get information, then we

experience it, or do it, then it is learned; we know it.
