DURGA AND KALI PUJA

[Guest guest]

This weekend I will be taking part in a Kali temple's annual puja ritual

where after the puja the devotees/volunteers are pierced with skewers

all over their body and they don’t feel anything because of the intense

sadhana that helps to nullify the pain. Anyone with any similar

experience? Currently im undergoing a very strict sadhana to partake in

the event. There will be a mass procession on this Saturday and the

procession will come to my home for rituals also....anyone wishing to

send in prayers (to be printed and placed before the procession of Maas

Durga and Kali) can send their written prayers/requests to my email

directly which I will print out and place before/or on the feet of Maa

Durga and Maa Kali.

 

JAI DURGA MAA, JAI KALI MAA.

 

JAY DAYAL.

Re: Question - Detachment

 

what is the right answer to this question?

 

it is so easy, isn't it, to make some sort of superficial anser.

 

or some other response that doesn't rise to the code of the sadhu.

 

we have only the words of the gurus, lathaji:

 

hold to the hem of her dress, and as she rises so will you.

 

om! pranams! namaste! thou art that!

 

and! as she descends, if it is at her will, so shall we!

 

here is my faith:

 

as you work and work and steadily work at your sadhana, detachment

will come.

 

the very principles you hold dear, consistent practice, seva, and

respect for your gurus, sangha, and all others, virtually guarantees

your success.

 

we can ask "when?" but that is up to Her; we also ask, "how?" and

are given these works ... and, as we watch these oceans rise and

fall within her, surely, detachment will come.
