Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Namaste Family, Thank you for all your thoughtful contributions to the discussion! let us keep it going! Dear Devi, The sling is a device for firing stones or other missiles. I am guessing at our thoughts. The arrow is not mentioned in the dhyanam. Only 9 weapons/ objects are mentioned. I asked Swamiji this and He said the tenth is understood to be the arrow. Shines like a blue gem. Blue represents the sky. Swamiji says Kali is infinite like the sky. Supreme consciousness is asleep. I believe Lord Vishnu is in deep samadhi. Not unconscious, but in a state of unity. Dear Usha, Thanks! I found your remarks very interesting. About the Rishis living in peace with all the animals – all the animal tendencies are tamed. The Yoga sutras also talk about this. When one has not hurt any other being for 12 continuous years then all animals will approach them without fear and with love. Dear Eric, Thank you for your poetic sharing! Dear Vish, Morningsong, Nirmalananda, Sanatani, Thank you for your heartfelt sharing! The goals for me are purposeful action with a calm mind, free from restlessness and worry. When I look at Sri Kali, I am not sure what to ask. Her image is so powerful, that I just say " hello " . I bow down to Her. Maybe one She will give this blockhead some wisdom.
