Namaste Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing post on the charkras and the beautiful photos of the beej mantras.As a hindu from India, I find it intriguing that westerners are adopting hinduism and practicing it more religiously than native hindus. Its inspiring. I wanted to contribute to the cause by mentioning that you can listen to excellent explanation of srimad bhagvatam puran at http://srimadbhagvatam.com. Also, there are 24x7 internet radio stations on hinduism at http://www.wisdomspeak.org
Wish you the best of Luck.
