need some calrifications about chandi-path ; to Narasimha ji

[Guest guest]

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

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.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

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.

 

With my best regards
