It has been some time I showed up here. But you know, God's ways are

sometimes (maybe always?) mysterious. Shiv Puja has been on my mind

since I first ecountered it here, gotthe book, put questions and

then I put it away, delved into someother practices and kind of

forgot about it. Then some time ago Shiva somehow seemed to have

knocked on my innerdoor kind of calling: "Hey, didn't you want to do

my puja? So dear,get going."...

Dear Dharmavidya ~ I remember you. Nice to see you again. I loved

reading your account of Shiva knocking at your door. Perhaps you

don't remember me, but I am very ill, and so when I first came to the

group I wasn't able to participate in much except for the prayer

group. I worked with the Chandi, but it was mostly reading. So awhile

back, it was Mahashivaratri, and I was determined to do a bit more. I

got the Shiva Puja Beginner and the CD, and I surprised myself by

being able to do it all in one sitting (sitting, being a term I use

loosely because I can't stay in any one position for too long.) But a

year ago, I would never have been able to do it. I am so happy for

you, and I look forward to see how your questions get answered

because I still would like to do the puja with the ingredients.

Lots of wonderful things going on here at the moment Dharmavidya. We

are doing a year long sankalpa for Mother Earth at the behest of

Shree Maa. Let us know if you're interested and someone can direct

you to the information. And now Navaratri is coming up (beginning on

the 29) and we will be doing the Cosmic Puja together. Do you have

that one? And if you go here:

wonderful sight ... some of the Mahashivatratri celebration at the

Mandir.

Blessings, and hope you pop back in once and awhile ~ Linda
