Today, ie 3rd Oct is the start of the first day of Navaratri. We do

not have a group sankalpa but you are encouraged to take your own

individual sankalpas.At the Mandir, Maa has encouraged everyone to

chant "Om Hrim Shrim Dum Durgayai Namah" a 1000 times silently this

morning.Here are a few more recommendations...

Dear Nanda :::waving::: As I said, I've been lurking now and then. I

loved all these suggestions for ways to honor Navaratri. I started by

cleaning off my altar, adding a picture of Durga in a frame, and

tomorrow I will go pick wildflowers to put in a small vase.

(Actually, for me, cleaning my altar, which is the bureau in the main

living space of my trailer, because the bureau tends to be a thingie

collector, and then under all the thingies, there is dust, and then

after I dealt with that, I had to clean the rest of the bureau and

the mirror above it. And this was after I'd been doing errands all

morning. Luckily, I had a long nap.)

 

I am going back to my beloved Chandi, but I believe I will also do

some of the other things you suggested too.

 

My love and pranams to all the group and to Sree Maa and Swamiji ~ Linda
