RE: To All: Chandi Sadhana

[Guest guest]

Namastey all

 

To do sadhan, does one have to perform anushtan or sadhana on the ground floor in their house or can one perform their sadhana or anushtan upstairs on the second floor? some say you should have direct conection to the earth ground inorder to perform sadhna.

 

Can you also tell me please when the actual U.K. date for holi is? some say 21st march some say 22nd march?

 

Many thanksRanvir

Namaste all: With great respect, I would like to respond to yourstatement about intellectual and devotional tendencies. Swami and Maahave stated that it is important to understand what one is chanting.For example: I meet and fall in love with my Guru. Now, I want toknow what pleases her, what makes her happy, what food she likes, howto serve her, how to worship her. So, once I have this knowledge and understanding, my relationship withHer can grow and expand and deepen. And, as my devotion grows, I willhave more questions, and so it goes. Likewise, if I can understand what that Chandi represents, what thetext means on many different levels, then my relationship with Chandi,and MySelf, can grow and expand and deepen. Devotion and knowledge are 2 sides of the same coin. Both areimportant. At the Devi Mandir, we are blessed to have Swami and Maato directly interpret and explain the many facets of the Chandi. Then, we can sit at the homa and chant with them. We can feel theirbhava and experience their enthusiasm and devotion. My own experience has grown 100% because I now understand what I havebeen chanting for years.Jai Ma Jai Swamivishweshwar , "Sankar Viswanathan"<sankarrukku wrote:>> Namashkar.
