I wrote this letter to Prashant this morning.
Dear Prashant,
Hari Om.
I would like to tell you about an experience I just had while chanting the Devi Durga.
When I chant this mantra, it seems my body seems to know how it goes. When I get the melody right, it seems i know from the melody, the sound of the mantra, what comes next. It seems like there is no other option. When I slip and make a mistake, I feel it immediately. And when I get it right, it feels great.
It still doesn’t happen often, that i get three repetitions right in a row. It worked today and without paying attention, I stilled into a fourth repetition, and when I realized that, I was so surprised that I lost it:-)
That was indeed funny to realize!
I also noticed, that today, while chanting, it kept my other thoughts at bay. I noticed some thoughts coming up and then they disappeared quickly.
I truly enjoy the 32 Names of Devi Durga. It is very different from the other mantras. I am looking forward to a quiet opportunity to chant it 32 times.
Kind regards
Hari Om.
