Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Greetings all, I am new to this Group/Message Board. I have enjoyed brwosing through old posts. Lots of intelligent people/discussion here. I was wondering if anyone could give me some directions in simple Kali Puja. I have Swamijis Kali Puja book. Hooweee! That is a little too advanced for me. But, it seems like all the elements of a simpler Puja are there (Nyasa, Kavach, Arati, Japa etc.) Could anyone tell me which parts to use, what order etc. Thanks SE101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Welcome SE101 ! I know someone on the forum will respond specifically for Kali Puja. Swamiji always advises us to start with the beginner Siva or Durga Pujas. Do you have the beginner Durga Puja book - it is a complete puja and takes about 15 mins to go through. The CD that can be bought additionally is chanted by Shree Maa and is very very very lovely. It will help you to get a jumpstart on puja. Again, a warm welcome to you. If you are in the Bay Area, we can also get together if you want a demonstration on any of the aspects of the Puja.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 You could start out with just small pieces of the Kali Puja. Adya stotram, the Kali Kavacham (armor of Kali) or the 108 names of Kali might suit you fine. Just find a part of the Kali book that you especially like and give it a try. That is the way I started out with it. To this day, there are parts of the Kali Puja book that I have never done. , "sunelectric101" <ouranian@l...> wrote: > Greetings all, > > I am new to this Group/Message Board.
