Another Amma Doll

[Guest guest]

Saturday at the MA Center in Castro Valler/San Ramon, there was

another Amma doll story. A lady who had been sitting near me and who

is dealing with her dad's final illness went upstairs. There she saw

Tripti, the woman who manages the kitchen at the ashram and when

Mother comes. Tripti was sewing a tiny Amma doll. She sewed on the

eyes and the mouth. She sewed on the earrings and the nose ring and

sewed on the hair. The lady was so overjoyed at how loveable -- more

and more loveable at every step, was this little Amma doll that

Tripti gave it to her.

 

While we were visitting about news regarding her dad, both of us were

exclaiming how enchanting was this tiny, tiny Amma doll. She wrapped

and rewrapped the tiny little sari so carefully hemmed. Thus this

very small sewing project lifted our hearts even though we were

talking about heart rending things.
