Dear Nanda ~ I copied this Vishnu mantra to a file I am calling

Celebration of Festivals at Devi Mandir. I am interested to know

everything that is being done, but many times, I am behind the train,

running to catch up.

 

This week, though I wanted so much to observe HOLI, I had two doctors

appointments in two days, one very disappointing, one encouraging but

only by putting me on stronger pain medication. I've been sicker

again, and so I've gotten behind on the digests. I think I am about 3

behind right now.

 

So I am reading what you wrote, but it is the 15th. If I miss a day,

can I do the celebration on the next day? By the time you answer

this, it will by then be many next days, and so perhaps I should just

continue on with the EMS Sankalpa for now.

 

My hubby bought a wireless card for my computer, so I could read in

bed, just as I often have to do my chanting in bed, but it didn't

work. At the moment I feel as if someone has been clubbing my entire

body with rubber mallets, and I am hard pressed to sit at the

computer, but I want to at least read this digest.

 

Would there be other times when it is auspicious to chant the Vishnu mantra?

 

Thank you so much for all your time and energy ~ Linda
