Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Namste everybody, here are my two cents about getting to a first name basis with Chandi Maa: i first started by listening and following along (trying at first, but it comes around) with Maa and swamiji's recording of the Chandi Path....back then it was in cassette form. It is slow enough that a beginner can catch on after some time. Some time later that became a little too slow. Maa recorded a new Chandi (with all the elements of the sankalpa for this year) on 3 CD's -- just Maa and her beautiful tambura. i would listen and attempt to keep up as much as i could. in time that became the perfect speed for me...Maa cahnts, but adds a melodious edge to this recording that is reallu FAB! i still play it while driving, especially the Siddha Kunjika Stotram which i belt out with Maa and i go down the highway! IMHO, this is the way to go...Maa and Swamiji have made recordings that aid us in the beginning and later on anyone can tune in to the webcam and chant along wherever they are.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Peace to you! Thank you so much for sharing about this. I am learning by chanting along to the CD that has both Shree Maa and Swamiji on it. Is the one that you are referring to still available for purchase from the website? And, is it the same as the recording that is the continuous audio stream, or different? Thank you, Jennifer PS, I am feeling so excited and grateful for these two beautiful sankalpas this year. Thank you, Swamiji and Shree Maa, for inviting us into such beautiful ways to grow in love and demonstrate our desire for Mother's peace to fill this delightful creation. Thank you for filling every step on the path with joy and brilliance. Thank you for creating a place for this family to join in worship. , " gauri_108 " <gauri_108 wrote: > > Namste everybody, > > here are my two cents about getting to a first name basis with Chandi Maa: > > i first started by listening and following along (trying at first, but > it comes around) with Maa and swamiji's recording of the Chandi > Path....back then it was in cassette form.
