...the consolidation of Dharma becomes possible.

[Guest guest]

"By holding yagnas of the Lalita Sahasranam (worship in large

groups) the consolidation of Dharma becomes possible in the Age of

Kali. Chanting this hymn is most beneficial also, for eliminating

the ill effects of Kali Yuga. There is no barrier of country,

caste, or religion in this regard." (benefits of chanting the LS)

 

 

With all the increase in World strife since just before the full

moon in July (mid-east crisis, heat wave, sudden spike in crime

locally in DC, etc.) I'm surpised the great swamiji has not

encouraged large or increased chanting of the LS and of the

Mahishasura Mardini Stotram. If not that, maybe some fasting and

prayers, tapas, or a few extra bhajan sessions at the very

least???

 

If the LS or MAM stotram is too Hindu or difficult, then at least

arrange group chanting of Lax Archana/chanting of one mantra. I've

posted a short video clip of this being done among Sai Baba

devotees, blessing the rice before they feed it to the poor. It

reminds me of Amma's suggestion of offering rice during archana and

then cooking for devotees as prasad (not like anyone really does

this). It would be a nice group event and sacrfice to offer.

 

Anyways, the video clip I've posted is a snippet from an old Sai

video, the original segment was tiny bit longer and explained what I

just did above. Checking the download, the original played fine on

Windows Media Player, but clicking on it seems not to work, which

may be a problem with my computer, but copying and pasting the url

into Real Player made it come out fine.

Tom, you are absolutely right. We all could be doing more to raise the positive vibrations on this earth with our prayers and practices. Thank you for the reminder.

love,

Prajna
