Would there be any possibility of spiral binding -- this way a book

could easily lie flat on a bookstand for worship purposes. Possibly

this would be a too-expensive option, but just thought to mention the

idea, in case.

 

 

 

Dear Rosetta ~ it's amazing you should bring this up. This is exactly what

most of the people at the Mandir do, and probably many who are not. They take

the books as they are and copy them and then have them spiral bound. I'm not

sure the Mandir itself would publish the same text in book format and then in

a spiral bound format, but we can do it ourselves. I am starting with the

Chandi Path. Even though I often have to do my reciting in bed, I have realized

that if I had one of those little bed trays (that would stand up over my

bloated tummy), then could put the bookstand on it, and my hands and arms would

be freed up for the mudras (which I still don't quite understand) and for the

rolling and clapping. More participation!

 

I know it will be a bit expensive for us to do it ourselves, and I may have

to have a discussion with my favorite xerox place so they understand this is

for my own use, for learning, and I am not copying it for any other reason. I

will copy it in sections. But when I heard about this (I forget who told

about it), I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread ... better than

sliced bread. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda
