Just 20 minutes a day reading a chapter or two , everyday and

Dear Nanda ~ I am still catching up. Today I completed chapter 4. It

actually takes me longer than 20 minutes, from 30 to 45 depending on

the length of the Chapter, because I chant the sanskrit, and then I

read the English. This is the only way I can do it. So I'm kind of

limping along. I would like to share something I wrote to Muktimaa

this morning after receiving a letter from her.

 

Today I finished Chapter 4. Yesterday, I did two chapters. I find that

if I do it first thing in the morning, after I am awake, I can get at

least one chapter read. It makes me want to cry when I read them

because so much of what I read pertains so precisely to my situation

with my mother, which remains unresolved. I pray to Shree Maa to feel

independent from my mom and forgiving to her for the sad experiences I

had when I lived with her. Today, the chapter said something about

Durga slaying fear and anxiety, and these are the two strongest

emotions I have about my experiences with my mother. I am almost

crying just to think of it. Not only is the Chandi a beautiful method

of worship, a wonderful book, but it is also a guide to living.
