19th October

Went for a brisk 45 minute walk. In chamber from 1 to 4 pm. Shri Ranjan and his wife met and discussed their case.
The Goddess Durga manifested as Skandmata on the 3rd day of Navaratri.
She has eight hands which denote eight directions. These hands have on them : Lotus, Shankh, Chakra, Shastra, Sword, Dhanusk, Mala and Gada. These are symbols. They convey the Goddess's powers. They also explain the mysteries of life. The Goddess is the energy which pervades the universe. It is well expressed in the श्लोक  " या देवी सर्व भुतेसू नमस्ताये नमस्ताये नमो नमह ". The lion is her ride. She is in all of us. She has to be awakened with the help of the मंत्र , so said Guru Maan in the morning discourse today.
Retired to sleep at 10pm.
