Nav Sankalpa day 5 - A Chandi a week keeps the Asuras at bay.

[Guest guest]

Day 5 of the Navaratri Sankalpa complete. I finished chapter 9, 10. No

more asuras... Gone! Kaput! Finito ! FINIS !

 

You would think .. but amazing how ingrained some of them are. Then I

remember the hymn "Take it to the Lord in prayer".

 

And Maa singing the song "Whom else can I cry to Mother?"

 

Anyways, glad to know that we are all still going strong, whether we

are doing our sankalpa a day early (Lieve Henny) , or catching up

(Dear Linda), or keeping up (Dear Nanda) when I realized something

.....

 

It takes me on an average 20 minutes to chant the day's sankalpa. Just

20 mins and I have with God's Grace been able to come from my office

and sit at the altar.

 

There has been no pressure, because this amount of time I CAN give. It

is like small change box on the dresser - a little bit here and bit

there ...

 

Before I know it, at the end of the week we would ALL have completed a full Chandi Path.

 

That is 52 weeks a year , so 52 Chandis a year ! NOT BAD AT ALL !

When you think it is just about 20 minutes a day (well the first and

last days are much longer, but if we doing just the seedha path then

we could still accomplish 52 Seedha Chandis in a year)

 

And that is no mean feat !!! Plus we are covering the most important

aspect of a sankalpa - CONSISTENCY !

 

Just 20 minutes a day reading a chapter or two , everyday and completing a Seedha Path in 7 days.

 

(Sorry if I sound like one of those insurance ads on TV - JUST 1

dollar a day and your insurance can NEVER be denied and etc etc )

 

But to me this is very important - how a big sankalpa can be broken

out into smaller achievable chunks . We put them back together to

achieve the GOAL.

 

Jai Chandi Maa

Dear Nanda,

 

by the grace of God and Guru I have completed day 5 (yesterday

evening) and day 6 (this evening). I also did the Shiva puja before

chanting, and I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you taught me

how. It has been a most extraordinary week. And I like your idea of

one Chandi a week via small installments very much!

 

with love,

Henny
