Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Namaste all family: several of our family asked Swami's advice about taking a sankalpa to perform some of the Chandi each and every day of this new year. Please consider the fruits of chanting the Chandi. They are included in Chapter 12 of the Chandi Path text. The blessing and Grace are out of this world,i.e.: She will put and end to every difficulty; destroy the Great Ego; remove all fear; bring mental peace, physical peace, and spiritual peace; the power of bad dreams is removed; removes the adverse effects of planetary influences, etc. Swami's response is below: Jai Maa Jai Swami vishweshwar SWAMI'S RESPONSE: Namaste Jennifer and Henny and all other devotees who want to integrate the Chandi into their regular sadhana, It is a wonderful journey that you propose to embark upon, and Shree Maa and I support this plan more than 100%. Our assignment is to become very familiar with the kavacam, argala, kilakam, devi suktam and narayani stotram, vedic devi suktam and siddha kunjika stotram, and then begin adding one other chapter a day until you complete the book. Then start over again until it is comfortable. Then add two chapters a day. three, a siddha path, and then the whole book. Then you will have to come here for some time to take the next steps (which we highly recommend). Have a beautiful, safe, healthy, productive, and Happy New Year!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Peace to everyone! I just wanted to add that in addition to those out-of-this-world blessings, it's just such a beautiful song to sing every day! And it's such a privelage to sing Her beautiful song every day. And then also, Swami said that the best worship that we can employ to help Mother Earth and all of Her creatures move forward in a positive direction is the regular recitation of Chandi! I started this Sankalpa yesterday and I'm really excited and grateful beyond words. Thank you to Henny for such inspiration, and also to Barbara and Devi who expressed interest. Please, if any members who have been on this path with Chandi, regular chanting, have any practical advice for a beginner like me, I would appreciate hearing from you! Looking back on your first days with Chandi, what helped you?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Namaste Beloved Family, I, too, plan to take this sankalpa. I am simply stating it here as a way to reinforce this inside my own head and heart, and to connect with everyone else doing it. I am thoroughly looking forward to this, knowing it will be a very rich experience. I pray for the day to come when I can return to the Devi Mandir and sit with the group chanting on Sundays and not miss every 5th word!! Thank you, Maa and Swamiji, for blessing us with this sankalpa. Knowing you are with us will certainly allow us all to succeed and reap Chandi's blessing a thousandfold. Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 namaste All its a great thought to start chandi sankalpa for this year. Hail MAA to invoke this thought on all minds of her devotees!!! I do have a question with regard to the " parayan " or " proposed method of study " of this great scripture. SOme of the scholars do suggest that there are some concluding prayers which have to be chanted at end of each day parayan. Though Swami and MAA have given prayers to be chanted before the scripture, is there any prayer to be chanted at end of a days's parayan. for example, after kavacham,kilakam etc and proceeding to say chapter 1 for first day and ending it, should there be any prayer/stotram to be chanted at end of chapter 1(end of that day's reading???) Please advise as this is essential before the parayan.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Amrish Namaste,You can start on page14-33On sankalpa p28 after patham at end start what you will be doing (chapters, stotrams and such)then Karisye.Do what you said you are going to do then:P. starts pranamahIf you like you can do arati p 378 before pranamah and meditate then do pranamah.This is how I do it.Love and Blessings,Deviamrish krish <krisam76 wrote: namaste All its a great thought to start chandi sankalpa for this year.
