Post from Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Dear Swamiji,

 

May this find you at heavenly best! My husband Michael and I

would like to ask you to please recommend the most important

texts/classes from your "college of higher learning." We also

wonder if there might be a best order of study. Many, many thanks!!

 

 

There are three distinct aspects of our practice:

 

1. Puja, which includes japa and meditation.

2. Path, which is the recitation of the scriptures.

3. Homa, which is the sacred fire ceremony.

 

To learn the pujas start with the smaller ones first: Shiva and

Durga

Beginners. Then work your way to the intermediate pujas like

Hanuman.

Then go to the advanced like Shiva Advanced and the Cosmic Puja. Add

some

new material from each book on a regular basis, expanding your

worship

15 minutes a month.

 

To learn the Path, how to recite the scriptures, take a scripture

and

chant for a specified period every day. There are many of them:

Chandi,

Bhagavad Gita, Devi Gita, Guru Gita, Lalitha, Sundar Kanda - There

are

many to choose from. Start with a few chapters and become

comfortable

with them, and then add more chapters every week. If you take the

Chandi, for example, start with the Armor, Bolt, and Pin, then add

the

Highest Meaniing, the Tantric Devi Shukta, and the Key to

Perfection. Then

keep adding to it every month. Let your sadhana grow organically.

 

There is a beginner's homa in the Hanuman Puja, a more advanced homa

in

the Shiva Advanced. Also there is a Video CD. Then start reciting

the

Sahasra Namas: Shiva, Kali, Lakshmi, Vishnu, Annapurna, we are just

finishing Gayatri (almost ready for publication).

 

In the evenings study the philosophy behind the sadhana: Kashyap

Sutras, Before Becoming This, Life of a Saint, Devi Gita. We're

working on a

new translation of Ramakrishna's story. There are many to choose

from,

and you can intergrate the internet classes into the study. Also

look

at our stories and articles on our web site. You'll find menus for

the

pujas, stories, parables, quite a collection.

 

Namaste.
