Navaratri Sankalpa

[Guest guest]

Don't be upset, Linda. You're not the only one who's

behind in performing her Sankalpa. I've been having

what appears to be a stint of food poisoning, plus a

painful gout attack in my left foot. My sister, bless

her, is aggravating me that I'm not helping her enough

with our father, who's being treated in a physical

therapy facility. And I fell behind in my Chandi

readings.

 

I am chanting the Ya Devi, and the Navarna mantra

("Chamundaye vicche"), and will eventually get the

energy to pick up the Chandi Path and read it through

again. I'm also meditating on the Nine Names and

Images of Durga, and asking Ma for Her encouragement

and protection.
