Navaratri Chanting
Message from Swami Sarvadevananda

Dear All,
My hearty greetings and best wishes.
This year 2020 is very challenging for the whole world. Covid’s impact on every individual is tremendous. So far more than 36 million people have been affected and more than 1 million have lost their lives. The whole world is being buffeted in every aspect of life—physical, mental, emotional, financial, and other areas.
Now it has become more important than ever to call upon the Divine Mother, chant Her name, and pray to Her so that She may take care of the calamities and save Her children all over the globe, granting everyone good health, prosperity, joy, peace, Jnana, Bhakti, Viveka, and Vairagya.
This is a great opportunity for us to withdraw our minds from the painful world, and dive deep in the contemplation of the Divine Mother, repeating Her name continuously.
This year the Navaratri period is : Saturday October 17 to Monday October 26, 2020.I invite and encourage everyone everywhere to join in chanting “Jai Sri Durga” over and above their regular daily japa, during these ten auspicious days, for our own spiritual growth and the good of the world.
Swami Swahanandaji inaugurated this practice of chanting Jai Sri Durga (or our own mantra) and used to say that every 100,000 repetitions of Jai Sri Durga will bring the same benefit of performing an entire Durga Puja (which is a serious amount of auspiciousness!).
Counting may be done using a mālā (rosary) or tally counter, or simply by measuring how long it takes to do one hundred or one thousand, and thereafter keeping track of the time spent in japa.
May Mother bless us all.
Yours in Mother,
Sarvadevananda

NOTE: Please send your pledge per day during the 10-day period of Navaratri (October 17-26) to: ( text message ) to 919-824-1700. or email   ushagulati@earthlink.com or WhatsApp site. . We’ll submit the total number of our devotees’ japa to Swami Sarvadevananda after Navaratri. Thank you.
