TO RANVIR AND ALL Chandi Sadhana

March 14, 2008

Namaste Ranvir and all: One does not have to perform one's sadhana in

contact with the ground on the ground floor of one's home. Shree Maa

and Swammi, for example, both perform sadhana in 2nd floors of their

dwellings, not in contact with the ground floor. For many years, I

have performed sadhand and homas while not in contact with the ground.

While in the Temple I built, which was not on the ground, but

elevated, Maa and Swami can and performed the first homa and blessed

my Temple. Afterwards, I performed homa and sadhana there for the

next 2.5 years every day.

I have chanted in airplanes and in automobiles. Swami has said he

chanted the Chandi while driving a car on a long journey.

One does one's sadhana wherever one is, under whatever conditions one

finds oneself. It is the intention, to chant to the best of one's

ability, and the devotion one brings to one's sadhana which brings

God and His / Her blessings and darshan, not the location of the

devotee in time or space.

We know that there are " ideal " spots for meditation and sadhana, i.e.:

great Temples or Holy Mountains-blessed by the countless saints who

worshiped there, but, the average devotee cannot go there.

So, we worship in our bedrooms, or wherever there is space, and cry

for God to help us, and that intention, and our desire to surrender to

God's Will, will bring us the blessings we deserve.

As Swami says, ... " we thank you Lord for giving us your blessings, and

we pray that you increase our capacity to receive more, and to worship

You with greater intensity. "

Jai Maa Jai Swami

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--- In

Namaste Ranvir and all: One does not have to perform one's sadhana incontact with the ground on the ground floor of one's home.
