Class on Devyatharvasirsham

[Guest guest]

Namaste Family,

 

The following are some of Swamiji's comments on the verses from the

Devi Atharvasirsham in the Chandi Class (just got over):

 

Verse 8:

 

When we do the sadhana that is the true bowing down.

 

Verse 12:

 

Prachodayat: May that wisdom continuously rise like the sun that rises

at dawn.

 

Verse 15:

Explaining Sri Vidya:

 

When you are paying attention you are paying respect.

 

Verse 19

 

When we do to japa we start to contemplating the meaning of the mantra

and then we go deeper, we will start consulting differences for the

meaning. This is the beginning of the meditation on the mantra Thenwe

will start employing these meanings in our lives. And suddenly you

become aware that you are not the same person you were when you

started reciting the text/mantra.

 

Verse 26:

 

Great death is when we forget our spiritual selves and instead focus

on our material selves, a lifetime of material attachment

 

Our Prayer to Divine Mother:

 

We want give you tapasya. We want to demonstrate the sincerity of our

devotion.

 

Love
