Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Once at the Devi Mandir, Swamiji had all of us sitting in a very large circle. He then taught this section of the Chandi and said that if we focused all our light, the Goddess would manifest in the center of the circle. Much later, there was an evening homa. I believe it was the night of the Kali Puja (amavasya, new moon). We were all chanting our hearts out, sitting in a circle around the homa fire. Suddenly I saw the form of the Goddess, dressed in green, in the middle of the fire. The fire was very high. I remember hearing my heart say “There She Is”. Happy Diwali to you and blessings in all areas of your life. As I was going through the Chandi Path this morning I came upon such a beautiful expression of the spirit of Diwalli, and wanted to share. In Chapter 2 things are at their darkest, egoistic ignorance is running rampant... The Gods want help to set things right and here is what happens... verses 10-13: 10. And in excessive rage a great light emanated from the face of He Who Holds the Discus of Revolving Time, and from the Creative Capacity and the Consciousness of Infinite Goodness as well. 11. The Rule of the Pure and all the other Gods, too, emitted great lights from their bodies, and all the lights unitedto form one light of radiant splendor. 12. The Gods saw that great collection of light like a blazing mountain that pervaded all the directions with its flames. 13. There was nothing to compare with this light which emanated from the bodies of all the Gods, and after collecting into one, it assumed a feminine form whose illumination was apparent throughout the three worlds. Happy Festival of Lights, dear ones. May your year be overflowing with blessings!
