Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Namaste Marsha: I would soak the mala overnight. Regarding visiting the Mandir, send an e mail to Srini through this club stating when you wish to come and for how long. He will confer with Swami. Maa and Swami maybe gone for several more weeks. Visiting the Mandir is a great privilege. The Mandir is Maa and Swami's home, and they desire that sincere devotees who visit come to perform sadhana and seek to deepen their experience of the Divine. The refined atmosphere of the Mandir is unlike any place I have ever been. It is steeped in the coherence and sattwa resulting from countless hours of deep prayer, meditation, pujas, and homas. Please consider this when requesting a visit. I ask that others who have come to visit, post their experiences here to help others prepare for the experience.
