Amma in Chicago and New York

[Guest guest]

Greetings to all - thanks for all the Amma stories and

wonderful comments. Reading stuff from everyone is

very uplifting for me and I feel even more a part of

Amma when I see how everyone is feeling and thinking.

 

Well, since I begged for Amma stories awhile back, I

am feeling like I have to share my Amma story too. I

was blessed to see Amma in Chicago and New York. The

Chicago program was great and since I wasn't in the

host satsang, I got to spend more time in the hall

with Amma and had a great time.

 

Thanks to all the Chicago devotees for all the hard

work - I had a lovely time.

 

The biggest event in Chicago for me was the Guru

Purnima puja. Oh my God!!!! I was so overwhelmed

during that puja, I started crying at the beginning

and cried all the way through it. I wasn't sad crying

just happy holy crying. The beauty of all the people

there and the fact that all these years having done

puja's to Amma's slippers and then to have her

actually there during a puja was so BIG in my heart

and so sweet. Afterwards I felt really charged with

energy and at the same time in a zone of peace and

calmness.

 

The drive home from Chicago was tough because I don't

sleep much when Amma is around and I had not slept for

many hours. And, that morning of Devi Bhava in

Chicago there was the most intense thunderstorm

(shortlived and wild).

 

(It reminded me of a time when I first left Seattle

and moved to Michigan - the second day in Michigan

there was an intense storm and I had never seen such a

thing - I sat all night with my eyes as wide as plates

in the window watching with fear - and then I thought

how far I had come since that time and how much fear

has left me.)

 

I followed the storm home and tried to regroup for

work on Tuesday afternoon.

 

Is there a limit on the size of postings? I have a

lot more to say, please advise.

Dear Supriti,

 

No limit that I know of(the size of the archive on most groups is 32

MB, that probably would be limiting factor:-))

 

But if you could post it in parts, that would be useful in keeping us

going during those lean days, where there is not much to read(just a

suggestion).
