Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Namaste Eric, Jennifer, Brindavanshakti, and everyone, I found this post (#22969) which I suspect is the one you are referring to. I don't see a response from Swamiji. I have copied and pasted it here, for your ease. Jai Maa! Ambika ps - Jennifer - thanks for your idea about the " thought beads. " I love it and will try it -- I do need it!!!! =========================== Namaste Swami Ji, I am great devotee of Chandi Ma. I recite everyday her mantra in the morning and evening. Even when i am sick, when i listen to the mantra recite by guruji, i feel relief and the sick is gone. I never get a mother's love since born to this world as i was given away by my parents to my aunty. There i suffered a lot. To me Chandi Maa is everything since childhood., She was the great mother to me. I talk to her, cry to her, smile to her, wish her good morning etc etc etc. Every Friday, I will keep a lime with a trisul drawn on it. I will keep this in front of her till next friday and would light up a camphor on the lime everyday. By doing this, most of the time my wish was fulfilled. Is this something correct or i should not do this? Please advise. Jai Ma Chamuda!
