Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Posted July 24, 2002 Hello everyone, Well, you know I am loving this list so far........I have something that I wanted to address, simple as it may be- it is very crucial to me! Awhile back, before I had read anything on Hinduism I had visionary experiences of both Kali Ma and lord Shiva in quick succession. This has utterly changed my life-hopefully for the best! I tried my best to devote myself to these deities and primarily Kali as her Darshan was definitely more intense. Now, I find myself at an uncomfortable crossroads.... I am playing Mridangam, Harmonium, and Tabla and studying Hindi. My general knowledge of Indian culture and religion has increased and that certainly fills me with joy, but sadly I feel a little disconnected from what got me here in the first place! I have an altar arranged for Ganesh, Kali, and Shiva and also pictures of Saraswati about the house which I frequently pray to for help with my studies, but aside from simple prayer-I still find things a little confusing and feel like I could act more ritualistically. This list is giving me lots of good info and I see so many knowledgable people here. I know in my heart that Kali Ma and Shiva called me to them, but unfortunately they never told me what to do! How could they? Would I be a fit devotee if I didn't work? ..........but help is always nice! I don't want to ask you for too much, but if you found yourself in my shoes, what would you do? I already know what the right thing for me is, so now it is just a question of HOW? Any thoughts, feelings, comments, suggestions, opinions, lambasting would be greatly appreciated.
