Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Namaste... I am writing this email to request prayers and blessings from all of you. I am looking for job in US. It is very difficult to find at present. I had many many interviews and many times it looked like I will get something. But nothing came! I chant navarna mantra daily and am a follower of shakti. I believe in prayers a lot and believe any prayer from followers like you will be very helpful. Please pray for me and pls send me blessings. Jai Maa! jaisanatanimaa <jaisanatanimaa Sent: Friday, May 8, 2009 4:30:53 AM[www.ShreeMaa.org] Re: Chanting mantra during daily tasks Namaste all, thank you very much for all the inspiring posts about mantras and thank you, Ramya Maa, for the story about Maa's teaching! It has certainly inspired me to do my best to chant more. The Peace mantra is the one I turn to most. But I have also found another treasure: the mantras from the Tantric Praise of the Goddess have proven themselves to be very practical tools in daily life. In all kinds of circumstances, experiencing hunger, confusion, satisfaction, engergy etc., these mantras help me to recognize Divine Mother in all that and call forth Her qualities. Last night when sleep would not come, I recited the mantra praising Mother as Sleep residing in all existence and I was off in minutes. It is fun to discover all kinds of ways in which Mother helps us to remember Her! Jai Maa!
