Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 hi dear nanda i can join you and the others in this with happiness. for others, re: the fear thing ... i have never been good at learning languages, but i learned the shiva puja, to read it anyway. take it slow. i am not sure why it is so satisfying but it is. if you take it as a spiritual exercise ... and not as a job or a mental achievement .... it is a connection to god and guru ... you might find it a pleasure. the other benefit is the people on this forum. the smallest question i had, they answered. think of it, not like learning french, but like doing a yoga of the mind. it is a way for YOU to connect to GOD. it is not a way to keep separate or get hung up in difficulties. every words and meaning in sanskrit is related to the divine. the meanings probably take a lifetime to reveal. what's the rush?!?! sanskrit is a kind of puja in itself. :-) swamiji said sanskrit means to "share together" or something like that. steve , "Nanda" <chandimaakijai> wrote: > > Dear All, > > As you might remember from this post > > /message/9484 > > March 8th is a big day for us for many reasons > > * Maha Shivaratri > * It is New Moon that falls on tuesday and is in the Satabhisha > star.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Dear Nanda, I would love to join in the Sankalpa but I do not own the Shiva Puja book. I think I have a copy of the Shive Mahimna in an old chanting book. Will this suffice?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Grace said : I would love to join in the Sankalpa but I do not own the Shiva Puja book. I think I have a copy of the Shive Mahimna in an old chanting book. Will this suffice? Sankar said : I have the book Siva Puja. Which portions are applicable for the Beginner? [..] What about the Siva Ratri Vrata? Latha's response :- Thank you for your questions. To make it simple and for many people to join, we will make our Shiva puja a bare minimum one a) Chant "Om Namah Shivaya" 1008 times or 10 rounds of mala. b) Offer a little milk to Shiva - either as a direct abishekam (bath) to the deity , if you have a Shiva Lingam or atleast offered in a cup to your altar. Anything else that you would like to do for Shiva depends on what you have at hand. So if you would like to chant Shiva Mahima go for it. If you would like to take portions from the Advanced Shiva as part of your puja , go for it. There is NO particular section taken from the Adv Shiva Puja book that would constitute the Beginner Shiva book, but we can take ANY section from it and make it part of our own puja. Regarding the Vrata or fasting we will leave it to each individual's capacity. The group sankalpa is a barebones one , and every one is encouraged to add to it as they feel meaningful to them.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Querida Kalachandra, When I had surgery one time and was at home recuperating, I talked to Swamiji on the phone. He told me that Shivaratri was a great time to heal. He said "grab the tail of the Shiva energy and hold on tight." I was sad that I couldn't be at the Mandir for Shivaratri but he made it clear that Shiva was always with me. I will be praying for you. I had gall bladder surgery a long time ago. It went beautifully and the recuperation was quick. May you be surrounded by our Gurus' light at all times.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Its a please to be part of the Group sankalpa, please sign me up. At this time we are 4 hours ahead of California. Best wishes KaliNanda <chandimaakijai > wrote: Dear All,As you might remember from this post/message/9484March 8th is a big day for us for many reasons* Maha Shivaratri* It is New Moon that falls on tuesday and is in the Satabhisha star. This is a VERY powerful and auspicious configuration and has been mentioned in the Chandi as a good day to chant the 108 names .* This same configuration is also mentioned in the Kali Puja book (thank you Ramya) as a good day to recite Kali's 108 names.It would be great if we all made use of this opportunity and had a group sankalpa. So here is the minimum sankalpa and each person can expand it to however long they want depending on their time and circumstance.On March 8th we will do1) Beginner Shiva Puja - and if you are not sure how to do puja, well its a good time to learn.2) Recite the 108 names of Durga from the Chandi Path book3) Recite the 108 names of Kali from the Kali Puja bookCan you please let me know if you would like to participate in this sankalpa. There are no time slots like our previous sankalpas but everyone participating will chant it during the auspicious time - and if you send me your geographical location I can find it out for you.Please , please do not let a "fear" of chanting sanskrit inhibit you from joining in for this sankalpa. If you dont know how to do the Beginner shiva Puja, read the book and ask questions on the group . We are here to learn. Please make use of this opportunity.I look forward to hearing how many of us would like to participate in the sankalpa.JAI SHIVAJAI DURGAJAI KALINanda html banner|**| -->Tired of spam?
