Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I forgot to mention that a Laxarchana is chanting a mantra 100,000 times for worship. Since that would take quite some time, I'm guessing participants would bow in/out for the time they could contribute, rather than expecting a marathon session or taking group breaks. tom Ammachi, "Tom" <tomgull wrote: > > (snipped) > If the LS or MAM stotram is too Hindu or difficult, then at least > arrange group chanting of Lax Archana/chanting of one mantra.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 At the Vedanta Temple in Hollywood, we used to individually pledge a number of reps so that as a community we made up 100,000. If 20 people pledge 5,000 reps each it's quite easy to accomplish in a week. Maybe we could organize a Laxarchana here in this group. -Prajna Tom <tomgull (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote: I forgot to mention that a Laxarchana is chanting a mantra 100,000 times for worship.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Nice thought, but my original point was about the power of group worship as Amma teaches and Dayamrita's Dharma to issue a directive about it, considering he's National Satsang Leader. tom Ammachi, Prajna - Brianna <prajnaji wrote: > > At the Vedanta Temple in Hollywood, we used to individually pledge a number of reps so that as a community we made up 100,000.
