Dear Latha ~ this does help. Thank you. I am still so in learning phase : ) or baby steps phase. It was wonderful to participate in the group sadhana of reading the Guru Gita. Whenever I read, I always read the Sanskrit transliteration first, which as you said can be quite intimidating, with the words all run together (thank you for that technique; it is wonderful, and I will use it). Then I read the English. I do it this way because, if only in a small way I am beginning to recognize some Sanskrit words and their English counterparts. I love doing these group sadhanas. Will there be one for Christmas? Jai Maa, Jai Swamiji ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Linda, If I may, I will make a suggestion.... Latha said she uses a pen. I would recommend against this. A light pencil mark is all that is needed, and it is really a struggle, for me at least, to figure out which letters belong to which words. I have had to change more than a few! I'm not sure about the ink (the ink used to print it) in the Guru Gita (I think it's a little better), but the ink in the Chandi is not very permanent. It tends to erase along with the pencil marks, so if you make a mark, keep it light. Jai Maa! Jai Gurudeva!
