Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 -Jai Maa, dear sister Parvati ji! First of all, let me say it is always a special treat to have you post! So thank-you! Thank-you for the Guru Purnima correction, i should have checked the Panchang, first. i humbly apologize. And, lastly, thank-you for your kind consideration in reminding us of "Summer Navarathri", i am embarrassed to say that i totally forgot! Just one more wonderful reason to increase our loving devotion and Sadhana to our Beloved. Jai Chandi Shree Maa! Jai Shiva Swamiji! Jai Thakur Sri Ramakrishna Deva!
