....I dont know how to pronounce nor how to use these books ... Can I

expect some help from you all ...

Dear Jeshwanth ~ Hello to you also. I do not yet have the Kali Puja,

but the Pronunciation Guide in the back of the Chandi Path is of

great help. All of the digest group will, of course, be glad to help,

to the extent of their ability. But for the best pronunciation, go

straight to the source ~ Swamiji. Both the Chandi Path and the Kali

Puja are on the Shree Maa website (homepage: left side -> "Learn

More" -> Classes, then click on either the Chandi Path or the Kali

Puja.

These Classes include Swamiji both reciting and giving commentary on

these sacred works and are inspiring and enlivening. Also you will

hear the correct pronunciation. The Classes are divided into

sections, corresponding to sections of the books, so you can begin at

the beginning, or wherever you currently are, if you are reading. For

the Kali Puja, there is an introduction, so you have to go the the

"read more" at the end and click on that to get to the page where the

"chapters" or segments of the scripture are.

To everyone: please forgive me if I am endlessly referring to the

online "Classes." After all, they have been there ever since I became

a member of the digest. Knowing they are there, though, and actually

listening are so completely different, and it is impossible to

describe with words. But anyone who has had the blessing to meet

Shree Maa and Swamiji, when they were still touring, or at the

Mandir, knows that actually hearing either of them speak and seeing

their manner of behaving while they speak, understands the huge

difference between even the wonderful words of something like the

Chandi Path and actually hearing Swamiji and/or Shree Maa speak them.

(Also, I have forgotten to mention the tapes, CDs, or Mp3s, which are

available for most of these scriptures. I can only at this point

speak to the example of the Chandi Path, but the tapes I have for

that one have both Shree Maa and Swamiji alternating the

recitation...again, indescribable.)

Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda
