Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Namaste Everybody! Prostrations at the Holy Feet of Shree Maa and our Beloved Swamiji and many humble pranaams to all of you! Hope everybody had a beautiful Navaraatri!! Last year, our sweetest Parvati had suggested that we join her in a 9 day vrat chanting 1000 names of Mother Kali - it was sooo fun and wonderful!! The message from last year is attached below! I was wondering if some of you would like to join in this sankalpa this year as well? I am not sure of the last day - in the US -- so i just started chanting Kali's names today In our Indian calender they say that today 20th is the 3rd day of the dark fortnight. Our calender says that the 14th day is 1st november -- so that would mean that our 9 day sankalpa would begin on october 24. If somebody else knows the exact dates can you please post? Thank you! If you want to do some other sankalpa too for this period, please share with all of us what you plan to do! It is so inspiring to share in sadhana plans and sadhana thoughts -- and of course to do sadhaana! I pray that we can together welcome the festival of Lights (Deepavali) with a beauiful lamp of devtion shining brightly in our hearts - a lamp welcoming the source of all Goodness, all Purity and all Love!! Jai MAA!! Jai Swamiji! yours lovingly, ramya ********************************************** MESSAGE # 7677 FROM LAST YEAR , "parv108" <parv108> wrote: > > > > Namaste to all, > > Many thanks to Shree Maa and Swamiji and to all of you for > your inspiration in keeping the light of wisdom and devotion > burning. > > If anyone is interested in taking a sankalpa or vow for 9 > days(Navaratri vrat) based on Swamiji's recommendation it will > begin Nov.2-Tuesday (6th day of dark > fortnight)-Nov.11.Thursday(new > moon or no moon, amavasya). > > Since Thursday, Nov. 11 is Kali puja and Friday, Nov. 12 is > Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and marks a new beginning, > one possible sankalpa to take during this time is to chant the > 1000 names of Kali every day for the 9 days starting Nov.2. > -Nov.11. > > If anyone would like to join me in this sankalpa or has another > sankalpa they will like to take for these 9 days could you please > share your thoughts, inspirations with the group. > > Looking forward to hearing your ideas. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai MAA!! Jai Swamiji!" Jai Maa, dear Ramya ji! How perfect! Thank-you for thinking of this wonderful Sankalpa! "Please, dear Maa Kali, take away our darkness and reveal the Light!" *"Who says Thou art dark, o my Mother Divine? Thousands of Suns and Moons, out of Thy Body do shine! Who says Thou art dark, o my Mother Divine?" :<) *From "Cosmic Chants" by Paramahamsa Yogananda Your sister dissolving in Kali Maa's Love, muktimaa > > Namaste Everybody! > > Prostrations at the Holy Feet of Shree Maa and our Beloved Swamiji > and many humble pranaams to all of you! > > Hope everybody had a beautiful Navaraatri!!
