To Nanda on reverence toward our books

Once at the Mandir during homa, I had placed the book (that I was

chanting from ) on the floor . Maa , who was watching, told me not to

do so. Since then, I have tried as much as I can to place atleast a

cloth on the floor, before I place the book. Of course , if you used

a book holder then you wouldnt have this problem .

Dear Nanda ~ didn't you awhile back recount to us how you took the

books apart, or maybe you xeroxed them, and had them spiral bound so

they would be easier to read, without having to hold, while doing

puja? Could you clarify this. I am very curious, especially in the

light of this post. Whenever I chant any of the Chandi ~ I finish by

kissing the picture of Ma Durga on the front, on her third eye. It

makes me feel very closer to her. Jai Chandi ~ Linda
