Nuggets from the Chandi - Destruction of inappropriate conduct

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

I was chanting and reading the meaning of the verses at the same

time and this particular verse got my eye today.

 

Is there anything in our conduct or character that we are not

particularly proud of ? I found this verse in the Chandi that

specifically prays to the Goddess for destroying inappropriate

conduct. A good verse to remember the next time we catch ourselves

thinking/doing something that we would rather not be doing ...

 

This is verse 25 from the "Highest Meaning of the Goddess"

(discussed by Devnath earlier with respect to Hrim)

 

The verse is

 

"Taam Durgaam Durgamaam Deviim Duraacaara vighaatiniim

Namaami bhavabhiito-ham samsaaraarnava taariniim"

 

which Swamiji has translated as

 

"I bow to the Reliever of Difficulties , to the Goddess who destroys

Confusion, who destroys all inappropriate conduct, who takes us

across the sea of objects and relationships free from fear".

 

Jai Chandi Maa

Jai Swamiji

Jai Shree Maa
