Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi Shankari Kali, This is the one I have - " Tantric Visions of the Divine Feminine: The Ten Mahavidyas " : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0520204999/104-8602778-4607963 Life is good. I went to hindu temple for the first time in a long while. I was speaking with a Bengali friend of mine and she mentioned that she has a house in Kolkata, so that if i ever get the chance to go - she'll let me stay there - i mean how sweet!!! I'm currently reading " Kali's Odiyya " - amongst like five other books at the same time - hehehe. Oh, go see " The Namesake " - it's a beautiful indian movie (not sure if i've mentioned it in previous posts), filmed partially in NYC and partially in Kolkata. No mention of Kali, but there were some instances of Saraswati presented throughout the movie? How are things in your world?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi Andy!Wow! You are lucky! I would like to visit Calcutta, and Assam where they have the famous pitha of the Divine Mother Called the Temple of Kamakya.I was pondering whether or not to buy that book that you have now. I did read "Kali's Odiyya". I have to admit that it was really bizarre to me at the time, but for some reason I could not put it down.I recently read "Tantra Unveiled" by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait. It was good. Again it had some of the left hand path rituals listed in there.I got through the Chandi Path, but the opening hymns were not transliterated into English in the version I had, so I had to order another version from www.shreemaa.org.Do you know anything about Sri Vidya? Supposedly there is a Tantric group called Sri Vidya, and then there is another group that only recites the Lalitha Saharanam Stotram, and they also worship the Sri Yantra. I think the older Sri Vidya is a wider Tantric culture or group, and the newer one follows one particular Guru. I'm not sure.I still don't have the courage to go to a Hindu Temple. I would have to drive for quite a long distance unless I went to a small satsang for the Hugging Saint Amma. I'm just not ready to take the plunge that way.Take care,Shankari KaliAndy <happytheclown37 wrote: Hi Shankari Kali, This is the one I have - "Tantric Visions of the Divine Feminine: The Ten Mahavidyas": http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0520204999/104-8602778-4607963 Life is good.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hey Shankari Kali, not so much lucky because it's not like i'll be visiting Kolkata anytime soon. I can't even afford myself, let alone a trip to India - but it was the sweetness of my friends gesture that i really appreciated. Never have heard of Assam though I'm only into the second chapter of Kali's Odiyya, but i'm looking forward to getting freaked out, err, learning everything i can from it I'm not familiar with the Chandi Path, aside from hearing it referred to in passing. I know it's mentioned a lot on Shree Maa's website and/or but there are so many posts to that group everyday that it's like information overload and i tend not to read any posts - bad i know. I do have a wonderful musical kirtan by Shree Maa. I had ordered the Kali Puja book from them and they were so sweet and kind to include the Shree Maa CD for free - i was very pleasantly surprised and have listened to it quite often, amongst other kirtans. I'm not familiar with Sri Vidya nor Lalitha Saharanam Stotram, sorry. It's beyond my very limited knowledge base at this current time. I think, if/when the right time comes for you to goto a hindu temple - you'll know it at the time. namaste, andy Kali_Ma , Shankari Kali <shankari_kali wrote: > > Hi Andy! > > Wow! You are lucky!
