Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Dear Narasimha ji I have a few questions regarding the chandi path and I hope you can help me with your knowledge as you have much experience in this. How do you do certain number of chandi paths? Does one person reads the book continuously until the number of pathas is completed? I was wondering if it is OK to do simultaneous paths by say 7 people to complete sapta chandi path? If that is possible then sata chandi path can be completed even in one day. But I remember you did that in Chennai over a period of 10 days or so. In this case did the person (I think you) who took the sankalp to complete the sata chandi path stayed in the temple from start to end? I understand from my experience that without mother's wish such a thing is not possible but do people invoke mother's protection in some way besides choosing an auspicious time (as you did) Thanks and with my best regards Swadhin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Dear Swadhin, The normal interpretation is to add the counts of all participants. If ten people read nine times each, the count is 10x9=90. When we did Sata Chandi homam, we did it that way. Actually, we did not do over ten days. It was 7 days. We cumulatively chanted 90 times in 4 days and then chanted 10 times *in the fire* over the final 3 days. The priest arranged for some other priests to read Chandipath during those 4 days and clear the count of 90 with a safe margin. But not all of them were reading it at the temple. They were reading it at their homes with the mental sankalpam to contribute to the homam at the temple. The homam was due to the sankalpam of my spiritual master Dr Manish Pandit from Manchester, UK. He suggested that we should actually get to the count of 90 *at* the temple if possible. So some of us chanted several times a day and actually covered the count of 90 at the temple itself with a margin. In addition, some more people read it at homes, based on the previous plan of the priest. So we made the count in different ways. I was not there all the 7 days. During the first 4 days, I was away for 2 days, visiting Tirupati, Tirunannamalai, Kanchi etc. But my guru was there chanting all the seven days. On 5 out of 7 days, I too was there at the temple. However, we left the temple and went to the house of the head priest to sleep in the nights. It may have been a good idea to sleep at the temple itself. Again, it is a very alive temple with so many kinds of energies... Yes, we think we are the doers, but we are just pawns. Just read the kavacha, argala and keela in the beginning of chandipath on each day for protection. I took a vow at the Sata Chandi homam to read Chandipath for 108 consecutive days and completed it in June 2006. A couple of months after that, the head priest of that Kalikambal temple visited Boston. He was at our house and we did 10 Chandi homas at my house. We did 8 on a Saturday (starting in the morning and going on till 2 am!), the 9th on Sunday morning and did an elaborate final one on Sunday afternoon. It was six months after the Sata Chandi homam in Chennai and it can also be considered a different kind of Sata Chandi homam.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Dear Narasimha ji Thank you very much for your quick response with a detail explanation. I have been doing chandi path at least once during every visit to India. This was disrupted for last two and half years due to deaths in family. Because of the cumulative method you explained I hope I could resume, even during a short visit, the chandi paths with a sata chandi path, rest mother's wish.
