Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Namaste Jennifer and all: To help us understand Sanskrit better, Swami has written 2 short texts. In each he takes each letter of each verse and translates it and relates it to the context of the verse. One text is chapter 1 of the Chandi, and the other is chapter 2. Since they are in the context of the Chandi, they are very helpful. Also, wanted to thank you for the wonderful post about your experiences with the universal peace mantra. It really moved me. Thank you and God Bless Jai Maa Jai Swami vishweshwar , " jrholm1007 " <jrholm1007 wrote: > > Dear Nanda, thank you so much, I did explore those links, and that > particular online dictionary is somewhat helpful, but it is because I > am such a beginner probably that I cannot make use of it to it's > highest efficiency.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Thank you Vishweshwar, I have been curious about those texts and your description of what Swami has included there is very helpful for me. I look forward to studying them! Have a beautiful Sunday!
