40 days discipline / Detox

September 3, 2003

Dear Sister,

It sounds like they were impressed. We went the easy route and bought modakas

to offer Sri Ganesh on Chaturthi. I gave a talk on him at the Vedanta Society

here that by his grace was well received. He has always been a wonderful help

to me and to my wife. We began a 40 day sadhana using a mantra for him on

Ganesh Chaturthi, chanting his mantra together. He is quite easy to please if

appraoched with sincerity. He gave immediate aid when a family member was

suffering from a life threatening disease.

Pranams,

Arjuna

Dear Brother:

ThankQ so much for your analysis. Actually, I had done the 'Lakshmi Ganesh'

pooja on Saturday. I wasn't very successful with the 'laddoo' recipe,

however, they tasted great, but were a little soft. It took me all day to

make the laddoos, so I had done my pooja late afternoon. I managed to make

108 laddoos. I guess they must have been impressed!

ThankQ again.

Dear Ladaji,

When I was working a stressful job, I asked my guru about how long I should

meditate. He said to just do it every morning and evening and that the

length of time would take care of itself. He said that regularity was

improtant. I have found that to be the case. It certainly sounds like Sri

Ganesh and Sri Laxmi have blessed you. May their blessings continue without

a break!

Jai Sridaya! Jai Sridayi!

Thnx Sis. appreciate your response. This is a very busy time of the year

for me workwise. I have been working overtime, just about everyday and

week-ends. After work, running off to my 'Hot Yoga'. As I suffer from

fibromyalgia, getting up early in the morning is a chore. I haven't been

able to chant all of my mantras. At work in the mornings I push paper, and

afternoons I deal with my clients. So I plug myself to my headsets and

listen to all my mantra tapes at work, with interruptions in between. I

have been feeling very guilty about this, as I leave for work each morning,

I do a shortcut pooja, and I say to them...'you know how much I love you

all, stay with me, in my heart and in my thoughts throughout the day'.

This morning, as I was changing the water, which I leave in a stainless

tumbler each morning on my alter for the deities to drink in case they're

thirsty, the color of the water had changed to milky in color. I've used

only water, no milk at all in that tumbler. Also, on the day of 'Ganesh

Chaturthi', I found a 'one inch long white rock candy just below 'Lakshmi's

picture', I figured it was a gift for me so I ate it.

I hope this is a good sign.

Many of us believe, I think, that women can wear them right through

the month. As DDji reminds us, women are even CLEANER, as the old

blood leaves the womb. The stuff that is no longer useable is coming

OUT.

I know I wear my beads, without respect to monthlies.

Awesome!

I have an excellent recipe, however, I also have a bad habbit of changing

the recipes around, so that is how I gooffed on the 'laddoos'. I live on

Vancouver Island, supposedly a very spiritual location, this island is also

big on devil worship. I don't own a car at this time, office is five

minutes away from home, shopping accross the street, I live downtown.

However, very few Indian stores. I personally, don't like to offer food or

sweets that are prepared by others. I like to put positive thoughts and

positive energy while preparing them, so thats my theory.
