Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Jai Maa, Can you please tell me what time do I start in Mobile Alabama ? and do I continue every 3 hours? Thankyou. Bharat Patel ===== With Best Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I suppose the time in Kolkata would be 2.50 hours ahead of Kuala Lumpur. I find that we are celebrating Sivaratri on Tuesday in India. More important, with my limited knowledge of Sanskrit I find that the Ashtora Namavali should be written down and recited. How do I go about it? Can I write it once and recite any number of times? It has been a long time since I wrote anything in Devanagari script. I can start practicing now. It should be done on Wednesday night. Am I right?
