What you have said about the singing bells reminds me of some of the Names for Maa i had offered that have 'bell' in the Name. These Names are: 'She Who is the temple bell calling us to worship' 'She Who is a singing bell' 'She Who rings the Bell of Freedom' 'She Whose Laughter rings the Bell of Truth' 'She Whose Laughter sounds like tinkling bells' What you said above inspires another beautiful Name for our beloved Shree Maa: 'She Who protects us with the sound of Her bell' Jai Chandi Shree Maa!

'She Who rings the Bell of Awakening'! 'She Who is one with the sound of the Bell of Awakening'. Jai Maa! i am reminded of one of the last potent lines of the great movie classic 'It's a Wonderful Life'. George Bailey is standing by the family Christmas tree holding his youngest daughter 'Zsu Zsu' in his arms, when a bell ornament starts ringing on the tree. Little Zsu Zsu says to her father, "Teacher says whenever a bell rings an angel gets his [her] wings." Ring your bell, Henny and fly high on your wings of light! Jai Chandi Shree Maa! Jai Shiva Swamiji! Jai Ramakrishna Deva! Your sister always, muktimaa > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Today's Parayana is comparatively light.
