Dear Nityashakti ~ thank you so much for sharing your very personal

experience of your own transformation with your mother and father,

and being able to see them as simply human, as we all are, warts and

all. I have just received the Cosmic Puja book several days ago, so I

am very inerested about the pujas you mention above. Is the Pitru

Paksha and the short puja from the Cosmic Puja the same puja? If not

can you, or someone else tell me about the Pitru Paksha and what part

of the Cosmic Puja constitutes the short puja. I would also like to

know how these one (or two) pujas relate to the "family ties" issue

that Sadhumaa brought up.

Many thanks to anyone who can help me out with this. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda
