Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Congratulations on the sucessful return to your fast. Family can so often be distrupting when then think they are only interested in our good. You did well not to dwell on the slip and just continue.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Namaste Beloved Ardis Ji Am so happy to read about your prayers. You are divine. Just today I completed my 10 full Chandi Paaths that was going on since 9th. Today and yesterday I had to recite 2 full Chandis to complete my sankalp. Tomorrow (Durga Ashtami day) we are conducting a Chandi Homa and a full Cosmic (?) Homa. It will be an exciting day. You are in my prayers. Am so happy to be associated with divine and blessed devotees like yourself. May Maa bless you a trillion! I would like to send Puja Prasad to devotees - if anyone is keen to receive Chandi Yagna Prasad (kumkum and bhasma) please email me your delivery address directly and I will rush that on Tuesday - no matter where in the world you are. Jai Durge!
