Dear Srinivasan,Namaste !I request you to suggest a schedule for the reading of the Chandi during the 9 days of Dasera. I request you to let me know the Daily chants that lead up to the Chandi Chant of the day as well as the concluding chants and arati.I cannot do the netire Chandi on a single day because I have my regular swadhyaya to perform. I request a favor of your reply.Affectionately,Sivakumar--- On Sun, 9/7/08, srini_sadhu <srini_sadhu wrote:srini_sadhu <srini_sadhu[www.ShreeMaa.org] Spiritual calendar Date: Sunday, September 7, 2008, 9:12 AM

Dear srini and all ~ please excuse my using this post as a way to ask a

question. I wasn't sure what else I could do. I have 2 email accounts.

It appears as though I am joined to the group via my accoung

(skyedaughter). But I receive the digest at my other email

account (Nierika). Soon I will be getting rid of the aol

account. Can someone tell me what I need to do in order to have the

digests come to my mail. I will greatly appreciate any help as I

don't want to stop getting the digests. Thanks to all ~ Linda

Dear Gauri, Brindavanshakti and all involved in this discussion,

Brindavanshakti's negative perception of the story moved so many

positive responses. Even Ramakrishna has said that EVERYTHING -both

good and evil are part of Maya created by God. The classic example of

the shadow created by light falling on an object is so illustrative.

What is interesting about these Puranic stories is that they have so

many dimensions and so much depth, limited only by our own sense of

perceptions and attitudes.

The Puranas are full of such stories - brindavanshakti should read

Swamiji's translations. The one about Harishchandra would probably

drive his sensitive spirit to the edge.

They are like true life situations. The best of us is prone to those

sins we KNOW are negative - anger, jealousy, passion, arrogance. Deny

it, though we may. But when you have Gauri's attitude, or Vish's, you

try to retain a positive attitude even in the worst of situations -

and its that attitude that saves the situation. A negative attitude

under the same circumstances can mean the END, failure. More and more

management gurus are propagating this theory about winning and losing

w attitudes.

I 'worship' Maa and Swamiji because they are to me the epitome of what

attitudes should be.. when I am beginning to get negative about a

situation I think of their wisdom and take heart.

Just another observation to end my sermon (Did I hear

Yawns)Brindavanshakti says " what sort of a man would let his wife... "

Excuse me, do men have some sort of ownership over their wives'

thoughts or emotions? Is'nt a curse a spontaneous reaction (Karma's

arrows) caused by anger etc.? Hmmmm....

 

Thank you all for your patience! I love this Blog. and I love the

discussions.. I always find something to inspire me or remedies. Thank

you all &

Victory to Maa and Swamiji and US ALL!! Bharat is currently residing

in NAPA in the Devi Mandir Ashram.

 

Love

Manjusha
