The chandi Path

Dear Sundeep Khandelwal, greetings and welcome! Thank you for posting

about your journey with Chandi, it warmed my heart to read it. What

other magical power but Her Kindness could we possibly want? : )

What is accomplished through Kindness is good for everyone. Kindness

sustains humanity, reinforces the highest principles for living and

gives us all hope for a better future. May we all walk in the light

of Her Kindness! Jennifer

Hi, and a very hearty WELCOME!

For someone who is interested in chanting Chandi and who loves Durga,

I cannot think of a better place to be. I'll bet there are few, if

any, in the body who are greater authorities on the Chandi Path than

Swamiji and Shree Maa. May you find just what you need.

Jai Maa!
