Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Yes, Kelly , we all learn from each other, from books , and also talking about the texts with each other . The idea is to keep at the Sadhana in one form or another. Posting to this site is another constant reminder to keep at the Sadhana. Continuing with "collecting" mantras from the texts that talk about removing fear, here is one from my favorite Sidha Kunjika Stotram. "Vicce chaa bhayadaa nityam namaste mantra roopini" "Vicce gives eternal freedom from fear. We bow to you in the form of mantras." Next time I am tempted to fly past the mantras when I do 108 of them I will remember the beauty of 'Vicce' . Remove all my fears oh Goddess. The brave die only once , the coward every minute. Remove all fears. , Kelly Leeper <blissnout> wrote: > One who is addicted to self-depreciation can never help themselves and expects self-depreciation to serve them, how confusing! This is true. I sure hope someone writes, "The common sense of MaaChandi" and enveils such blatant revelations.
