To Linda on Navaratri Sankalpa

[Guest guest]

> Dear Nanda ~ I would like to participate, and I have a few

questions. As you know, I have the old Chandi book (I guess I will

have to get the new one > sometime if I want to be able to really

understand what page you are on, so to speak). I don't know what

you mean by Swamiji's book. Are you referring to the Samputs?

 

Dear Linda,

For this sankalpa the old Chandi book works equally well. When I

say "Swamiji's book" I am referring to the Chandi Path text.

 

 

 

Linda says:

I am assuming the preliminaries are all the text passages prior to

chapter 1. If this is wrong, please let me know.

 

Nanda says: Correct - It is ALL pages leading upto chapter 1

 

Linda says:

Also, you say, you can chant at your own pace. I'm not sure what

this means. Does it mean on April 10, when there is quite a bit to

cover, that I could break it into two parts?

 

Nanda says:

Yes, you could chant it in however many sittings that you want to do

that day. You could do it in snatches of 15 minutes or half hour at

a time - upto YOU.

 

Linda says: Also would it mean that, for example, on April 12, when

there is only one chapter, I could perhaps also do chapter 5 or

even 5 and 6, so I don't end up with 4 chapters on one day?

 

Nanda says: It is preferable that we stick with schedule ie do the 4

chapters on April 12. But I have news for you, Day 1 (Apr 10th) and

Day 7(Apr 16th) are going to be the longest days. April 12 will be a

breeze in comparison.

 

Linda says: As you know, a major consideration for me relates to my

health, and I don't want to put myself in a position where I set

myself up to feel I have failed. Any light you can shed on my

questions will be greatly appreciated. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda

 

Nanda says: Yes I understand. I believe we have split the Chandi

that should be easy for most people. However if you feel that you

dont make the list, you do have the option of letting the CD play on

and listening to it. It is STILL within the bounds of the sankalpa.

 

Hope this helps. And hope that at the end of this Navaratri - you

can say with confidence - "I TOO have chanted the entire book ,

cover-to-cover."

 

Jai Chandi Maa
