i wonder what the gurus and devotees are doing at the mandir now

[Guest guest]

much sadhana and celebration i am sure.

 

here at home we are working away.

 

nobody knows what navaratri is.

 

om shalom! meditate a little longer,

 

OM a little stronger ...

 

please finish this navaratri business soon and return to your online

devs!

 

we miss you, we are too young, to be certain, will mother ever come

back from the store?

 

navaratri, it's in here, along with the mother.

Steve,

 

Last year Parvati gave us updates on what all the doings were at the

mandir -- esp. what Maa and Swamiji were up to....HINT!....HINT!

 

Yes, it's kind'a lonely online lately....

Dear Bingo/Chris and all,

 

Here is what is happening this Mandir this Navaratri (AFAIK)

 

Morning Arati at 5 pm

Bhajans led by Parvati - you HAVE to hear the song "Jago Tumi

Jago" . Hope the Mandir can cut a CD with that song sometime.

 

Shubalananda if you are reading this - I know why you are so hooked

on Kirtans. One song sung with feeling and devotion is ......(each

person can fill in the blanks as appropriate)

 

Back to our schedule.

After Bhajan, there is a chanting from the Chandi. Yesterday we

recited the entire book, but usually it is passages from the book.

 

And oh, Swamiji is chanting ...God knows how many rounds of Chandi

and other texts.. Sufficient to say that when one sees him, he is

chanting or between short breaks of different recitations. JAI

SWAMIJI ! JAI SHREE MAA !

 

Love to all

Latha

Are there more people than usual there at this time?

 

More talking or less talking?

 

Does Swamiji use a book or by heart?

 

Do people dress up for Navaratri or is it very subdued?

 

How is Shree Maa doing?

 

Is anyone doing deep meditation?

Namaste Steve,

IMHO, there is no difference in the external activities at the

Mandir except for the additional group bhajan/chanting in the

mornings.

Jai Maa
