Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Namaste my friends, Day 2 was even better than Day 1. In addition to chanting Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 along with Swamiji and reading the English translation, I studied Swamiji's book "Chandi Path: Study of Chapter 2." The Study is so wonderful. It not only gives a word by word translation and a synopsis of the verse, the book contains a very deep lesson on the philosophy of the Chandi Path and how it applies to modern life. I found it very inspiring. Nanda, here's the report on my fast so far. Saturday and Sunday and up to 5 pm on Monday went beautifully. Then my daughter surprised me by showing up at my door. She wanted to take me out for dinner. They had driven about an hour and a half from San Bernardino. I told her that I was happy to see her, but I was fasting and did not want to go out for dinner. Not only was she disappointed, she was upset. She said "eating - yes. fasting - no." She is convinced that fasting is unhealthy, especially for me. I ended up giving in and having dinner with her. Afterwards I felt almost physically ill. I felt anything but healthy. And of course there was the disappointment in myself that I had not kept the fast. Today I was back on my fast and feeling wonderful. Despite the problem with the fast last night, this is the most wonderful sankalpa I have ever taken. I am loving the Chandi Path more and more each day. Love and blessings to all, Ardis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
