Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 namaste Ranveer: a yantra is a physical representation of a metaphysical state of consciousness. Swami call a yantra a road map to follow to reach the Divine. I cannot explain how to use it here, it is too complex. Go to the web site, www.shreemaa.org, and locate the section where video classes are stored. Look for the class on the " Cosmic Puja " . In that class, Swami teaches how to create a yantra as part of a puja. Also, it included in the text " Cosmic Puja " , available for sale on the same Mandir website. How to chant the Chandi mantra? We chant the mantra with OM each time we repeat it. That is our tradition. Others may teach differently. There is no wrong or right way. I suggest if you want to worship Kali or Durga, purchase the books of Kali Puja and Durga Puja from www.shreemaa.org. Also purchase the CD's of Maa chanting the Durga puja and the 1000 names of Kali. After you try each puja, see how you feel. See which Goddess attracts you more, then continue to worship Her. These books contain the tradition forms of worhsip of each Goddess. Once you have the books, you can post questions about worhsip here.

Check out the Spiritual calendaron the Devi Mandir website for auspicious days to chant or pray toKali or Durga. Beside special days, anyone can chant Their Divine Names anytime. Iperform Shiva and Durga Puja daily for the past 6 years, and Kali pujawhen the calender suggests it is most auspicious. There are no restrictions. Maa and Swami teach that this is ourpersonal relationship with Durga, Kali, Shiva, etc. How and when weworship is up to us. If we want to cultivate a relationship withthem, we chant their name all the time. Maa and Swami have translatedtexts, available on Devi Mandir website, which we can use tocommunicate with the Deities. Durga puja, Kali puja, Shiva puja texts,CD's with Maa chanting 1000 names of Kali, Maa chanting Durga pujaetc., are all available. Just make your choice.Let's take a minute and think about our daily life. If we met someonenew, and we felt a connection to them, we would phone them often, orvisit them, or write letters, or e mails. We would want to get nearerto them in order to build a relationship. We want to know all aboutthem. What pleases them, etc. In the same way, building a relationship with God, in whatever form,we use the tools that devotees have used for thousands of years. Andwe yearn for Their Darshan, we yearn to feel Their presence in our lives.And that yearning, that desire, is what propels us to worship, to giveour time and energy to learning about, and worshiping to, Kali orDurga, etc.So, if you feel attracted to Kali or durga, I suggest you close youreyes, and ask them, from your heart, how they would like to beworshiped. Listen, and They will speak to you.Also,if you feel attracted to Chandi, listen in every Sunday at 9:30am Pacific time, as Maa and Swami chant the Chandi Path at the homa. You will learn the way we pronounce the Chandi mantra, others maychant it differently, but you will hear us chant. Also, it isavailable on CD from the Devi Mandir web site.I hope this answers your questions.Jai Maa Jai Swamivishweshwar> Namastey> > My name is ranveer from england.> > I seeking advice on how, when and where to chant durga and kalimantras. what are the rules and restrictions.> > I have been advised to chant om aim hreem kreem choumundaey vicheyaabahym.> I have heard people chant this mantra but they pronouce itdifferently to how its written.> > Can someone also please tell we what a yantra is and where its keptand how to use it?> > thank you very much for your time> > namastey> > > ________> The next generation of MSN Hotmail has arrived - Windows Live Hotmail> http://www.newhotmail.co.uk> _______________ > The next generation of MSN Hotmail has arrived - Windows Live Hotmail > http://www.newhotmail.co.uk > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
