Welcome to ambaa-L
ambaa-L is a e-mail discussion group comprising of devotees of
shrImAtA and Lord shiva. Worshipping the supreme being (saguNa brahman) as divine Mother and Father of this cosmos is a part of ancient and eternal religious tradition
(sanatana dharma).
The principal goal of this discussion group is to study the devotional works on shrImAtA and Lord shiva thereby enabling the members to worship them (shivAbhyAm) better. The upAsana-kramam followed by various devotees and discussions pertaining to that are also welcome. In a sense this forum is like a group praying together and celebrating their glory. To this effect, every post sent to this forum should reflect the devotional attitude towards ambaaL and Lord shiva.
