Rudrastadhyayi again, as well as the Thousand Names of Shiva again,

and also perform japa of 10,000 times the mantra Om Namah Shivaya.If

we have time, we will perform the Maharudra Yajna, which is a series

of Samputs offered with the Rudrastadhyayi. It has required a new

book, similar to the book we did called Pronunciation and the Chandi

Samputs. We haven’t had time to publish Maharudra Yajna yet, but hope

to get to it soon.We send you all our blessings, and pray that the

Gods and Goddesses bless us all.All our love and blessings,Shree Maa

and Swamiji

Hi Nanda Ji,

Actually you mean Maha Shiva Ratri. There is a Shiva Ratri every month of the India calendar.

Pranams,

Surya

Message from Swamiji on the occassion of the 10th day of Navaratri

Vijaya Bhava!Namaste. Today is Dasami, the last day and victory

celebration for the Navaratri, and Shree Maa and I send all our love

and blessings!Remember, Navaratri can be celebrated any time, but

there are four times that are special: winter, spring, summer, and

fall.There has been some confusion between Navaratri and Shiva Ratri.

Navaratri means nine nights and ten days of worship. Shiva Ratri is

one day and one night only.On the occasion of Shiva Ratri we will

perform the Cosmic Puja, as we do every morning, and then the Chandi

Path, as we also do every day. Then we will recite the

Rudrastadhyayi and the Thousand Names of Shiva, which is in the

Shiva Advanced Puja Book.In the evening we will perform the Advanced

Shiva Puja four times: at 6 PM, 9 PM, 12 AM, and 3 AM, offering

milk, yogurt, ghee, and honey respectively. In between the pujas we

will recite the Rudrastadhyayi again, as well as the Thousand Names

of Shiva again, and also perform japa of 10,000 times the mantra Om

Namah Shivaya.If we have time, we will perform the Maharudra Yajna,

which is a series of Samputs offered with the Rudrastadhyayi. It has

required a new book, similar to the book we did called Pronunciation

and the Chandi Samputs. We haven’t had time to publish Maharudra

Yajna yet, but hope to get to it soon.We send you all our blessings,

and pray that the Gods and Goddesses bless us all.All our love and

blessings,Shree Maa and Swamiji

Dear Maa and Swamiji ~ it is hard to imagine being so fortunate as to

have our dear gurus send us a personal message. I have no words to

describe it.

Bhava soars,

Chanting resounds,

Both enthusiastic and sweet.

The Gods and Goddesses gather,

the Fire rises

igniting the Spark within.

This Cosmic Love

streams Light into every heart,

embracing Mother Earth.

And we Her children,

your children, Swamiji and Maa,

accept this gift with wonder.

Jai Maa!!!!! Jai Swamiji!!!!!!
