To Linda,comprehensibility of the Goddess and some questions for the whole group

[Guest guest]

Namaste Linda and all family: Swami has created a wonder-full class

on the entire Chandi. His complete discourse of every chapter is

stored at the Mandir web site, chapter by chapter, at

www.shreemaa.org. All your questions will be answered, and more. I

sat at most of the classes, and time after time I was amazed at the

depth of wisdom and transcendental bliss which was transmitted through

Swami's words.

Remember, Swami has chanted this text for 35+ years. He knows it

backwards and forwards. He received the boon of sitting full time at

Shree Maa's feet because He devoted himself heart and soul to Maa

Shakti, Maa Chandi, Maa Kali, Maa Lakshi, Maa Saraswati, etc.

Now it is our turn.

 

Indeed, if we all listened to these discourses, everyone will start

chanting the Chandi immediately. The Chandi touches upon every level

of our existence. It changes and modifies every level of our

existence, and leaves us in contact with Her. This text is a discourse

of every moment of our lives. When you read it, remember this, and

" see " how the Generals in the Army of the Great Ego, inside you and

me, interact and cause so much trouble. They are: self conceit, self

deprecation, too much, too little, wandering too and fro, want of

resolution, etc.

After you have listened to each chapter, post your comments and

feelings. I guarantee that this will change your lives.

 

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami
