Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Is everything ok with the radio station? For awhile they were playing the Ramakrisna satsanga, but I could never hear the whole thing because the sound would always cut-off, even though the player continued playing (counting). Recently, I have not even been able to connect. I get a 3285 disconnected.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 puj.lath, If i am fortunate enough i surely will tell our group members.... There are two experiences which have left a marjk on me : One powerful experience which remains with me... on a recent trip to India i visited an Old Shiva temple.... on banks of riv.Narabda at a place called Chanod. Upon entring the temple and reciting "shiva Chalisa" i started to cry... tears would not stop... toatlly uncontrolable... i cannot remember any feeling but some how felt sad at imense sacrifice made by Lord... i now also have the same reaction ... at some temples of Maa notable one in Borivili in Mumbai. I cannot put my finger on it nor can i understand as to why i should be affected like this... The second experience ... My brother and i had been searching for a linga for our home temple...wanted some thing big and unique like my lord... this search lasted for a number of years covering various visits to India as well as attempts of "designing" one.... then out of the blue i find one linga in a flea market in FRANKFURT germany.... of all places... lords gift to me... I love my lord Shiva... i call him "dada" find it comforting. namah shivaya shashi --- Latha Nanda <lathananda wrote: Shashi, And what a wonderful time to be chanting the name of Shiva ... now that we are moving towards Sivaratri .
