Hello folks,

Last month I had sent this email to Latha and she had suggested that

I post this on the forum. So here goes...

 

Hi Latha,

Got a chance to read your interesting posts on the Devi Mandir

chat. You have a wonderful expressive style of communication and I

am certain you are helping a lot of fellow spiritual travellers with

your honest and witty look at the Birth of a Rishi. (you call it

the "Diary of a Sankalpa")

 

I'm usually not vocal on such issues since Sadhana is one's own

spiritual journey, however, putting aside my hesitation I decided to

write to you directly to offer my two pennies worth of suggestions.

>From what I gather from your chats you do take several breaks

through your chant. Instead, why not do all the chapters listed in

the table of contents except for Chapter 1-13 in the morning. You

have now established The Divine Mother in your entire being. You are

wearing Her Armour (Kavach), you have taken Her Form (Argala) and

are now graciously stepping into the world of objects and

relationships. When you are back from work, take all the asuras

that piggybacked on you through the day and offer them to Her, so

that they too may find Peace. Do Chapter 1-13 along with the Siddha

Kunjika Stotram and Arati. I personally like to do at least one mala

of Om Namah Shivaya after that.

 

This way, you will have done one complete recitation of the Chandi

Path, built a stronger asana / pranayama and sneaked in a bonus

benefit. To quote the last verse of the Devi Atharva

Shirsyam....."Who recites these mantras in the night will be freed

from all sins committed during the day..... who recites both in the

day and night will be freed from all sin.".

 

You have the blessings of the Divine Mother, your Gurus and the Devi

Mandir family. Don't worry about devotion, about wisdom.... just

think of it as making a connection with your Mother. Ring, Ring!

Hrim Hrim! What's the difference!!! (That's me being silly!)

 

You have the perfect circumstance so don't give up.

Loves,

Ruk

One thing I would like to add, I seem to recall Swamiji saying that

the chapters should not be recited without first chanting the atha

navarna vidhih (someone please correct me if need be) so although it

was chanted in the morning it could be used to commence evening

worship followed by the thirteen chapters and so on as the post

suggested. This is a really beautiful suggestion. Thanks for sharing.

 

Jai Chandi Maa

It is nice to do so. The more japa of Navarna, the more the Chandi

comes alive.
