terror plot against Amma

Dear all,

My mom told me that in the malayalam paper Mathrubhumi, there was
mention of a plot against Amma by three terrorists(different from the
recent knifing incident); the plan was to attack Amma when she came to
Kozhikode. Apparently the indian intelligence agency found this out
before they could do it. Some one can confirm this?

This is not at all surprising, since many inimical forces would like
to prevent Amma's message of goodwill and compassion. I request all to
pray for Amma's welfare and safety.

Now some pseudo-rationalists will ask that why do we have to pray for
Amma, after all if she is Devi then no one need pray for her. To this
I will say that Amma is fully submerged in non-dual awareness, to her
a killer and the big swami would both be identical :-). She might even
gladly invite the killer to do his job.

A story from the life of Acharya Shankaracharya - there was a
kapalika who wanted to kill Acharya for a ritual that would give him
immense power. The kapalika came and requested Acharya to be the
sacrificial victim. The acharya gladly consented and told him that he
would arrive at the time to the location specified and told the
kapalika that he must keep this a secret as acharyas' sisyas would
prevent this. So the time came and the kapalika was raising his sword
to behead the acharya; at that very time Padmapada a prime sisya of
the acharya who was also a partial incarnation of Narasimha had a
hunch and he prayed to Narasimha to reveal the truth. When he learnt
of the plan, Padmapada became so angry and at this time Narasimha
entered him and he instantly reached the place of the sacrifice.
Narasimha-padmapada killed the evil kapalika and was still raging with
anger. The acharya who was in samadhi woke up and sang one of his
famous Narasimha stotra to pacify Shree Narasimha [the exact version
of the story varies depending on the source].

MORAL OF THE STORY - Mahatmas dont give a damn if their life is going
to end or not; so it is upto us sisyas to do prevent that.
