Chandi - Study of Chapter Two- book is now available

[Guest guest]

The in-depth "Study of Chapter Two" of the Chandi is now available at

our online bookstore.

 

In this book , like its predecessor , Swamiji parses EACH verse of

chapter two ,down to the individual words and meanings. He then

threads all the words together and gives the complete garland of

meaning. It is a must-have for any serious student of the Chandi .

 

What is chapter two about ?

 

Swamiji writes ...

 

"The Great Ego is extremely powerful and devious. He will stop at

nothing to get us to be his servants. That is his job. That is his

nature. We cant ask him to change his nature. All we can do is to ask

the Divine Mother to take Her energy away from the Ego and give it to

the Gods, so we can maintain our divine perception as Gods and

Goddesses. That is what is happening in Chapter Two"

 

My personal take on the book - this is one of the few books , aside

from the Kashyapa Sutras, where Swamiji expands on the philosophy

behind what we read. In Pages 3-6 , and again in pages 50-58, Swamiji

elaborates on the story of Chapter Two, how it applies to us in our

everyday lives, how the negative thoughts come in and plague us at

our different stages of spiritual practice . And how Chapter Two is

all about us admitting to the Mother, that we cant do it , only She

can.

 

Only She can reclaim the power from the negative thoughts and give it

to the Devas inside us, so that we can go back to being Gods and

Goddesses in the Garden of Bliss.

 

You can get the book at http://www.shreemaa.org/bookstore.htm

this is something to celebrate. the insights into the power of ego

in the chandi path are extraordinary. all the wise have said, we

need god[dess] on the 'other side' to pull us through. swamiji's

words tend to be in exact conformity to these great insights ... the

chandi path provides a depth in application that is not commonly

available. BRAVO. i have not yet read the chapter 1 book, it is next

on my list, then chapter 2. i look forward to it.

Could we cover Study of Chapter One in our forum here. I could type

out each verse and Swamiji's expostion and we could reflect on each

line as we go along . I often look into the sanskrit dictionary and

try to gather the explanation of the words (sometimes I can't find

them,may be I am not looking at the right place) in comparison to how

Swamiji expose the inner meaning of the words so it would help a lot

in my understanding as well

I know we could do this in the online clases like we did for Durga

Puja or listen to Swamiji's exposition in the website but somehow I

feel a the mail discussion would be good mode of satsang as well.

Steve , Latha , Parvathi and others what do you think ?

i think it sounds good, it is pretty much up to latha and parvati,

as they might feel they would need to do preparation to manage

that ...

 

btw i am looking into reading sanskrit online, and typing it ... i

found this site, and satish also referred me to it ... i have

installed the program and fonts, but i do not have my windows xp

install disk so do not have access to the files required to set up

international languages and regions control panel correctly for

this ... someone else might find this useful though ...

 

http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/itranslator2003.htm

 

btw latha showed me how, if someone is using e-mail, the

available fonts are very limited ,... but if you use outlook, like i

do, then you have access to any font on the system ... so in theory,

if person A had a particular sanskrit font, and e-m ailed to person

B who had the same exact font and outlook, they could write to each

other in sanskrit.
