Guest guest Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Peace, everyone. I was wondering if others experience something I experienced last night, something I would call spontaneous remote darshan. I was driving to PetSmart at around 7:30 p.m. and started to feel a little strange. The energy kind of settled in my heart chakra and then spread out from there. As I was driving down the highway I caught a faint glimpse of Amma's face in my mind's eye, I felt very close to her and tears started to form. The sunset looked surreally beautiful. By the time I got to the store, I was in post-darshan glow, something I had not experienced so vividly since Rhode Island, which was my first retreat. The kicker is, I had insomnia that night because a relationship crisis reared its ugly head. No tense interaction, just something internal to me evidently. We discussed it tonight and my partner was totally sanguine about it. Just my post-darshan detox, I guess. Khalid Hussain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Khalid dear, I think all devotees have these experiences with Mother and or whomever the object of their devotion (Elvis for example). I believe that Adi Shakti manifests and speaks to us every day, and in everyone, it is just Maya that makes us oblivious. Of course Amma is an avatar (we say with great conviction ) and being devoted to Her the connection is ever strong as Adi Shakti flows purely through our own hotline to heaven, Amritanandamayi Devi. Divine Mother is talking to us always, but through Amma we get eye openers like what you had, and that's Ma's job as avatar, right? I wish there were more storytellers to come forward with their amazing stories, i know everyone here has something to tell.. Last night I had a very sad & lonely feeling like a yeddisha mamma "They never call, they never write.. what am I chopped liver!?!?" this feeling. And hurting, I really cried out loud with my silly-selfish-sorrow choking me "Amma, Amma, Amma.." and I heard/felt a raspy deep "Yes daughter?" Shocked, I felt a hot flush on my skin and answered aloud "nothing, nothing, I just love you Ma" (sure, the neighbors think I'm nuts) and I felt real embarrasment over my.... despair? crying like so to Amma. A few minutes later I said inqusitively "Amma" just to check if I could hear/feel Her voice again (then I'd *know* what my neighbors may believe already). I was immediately touched by a presence there that reinstated a proper state of mind. A person may call this is imagination, but if I was in control of the experience at all, why didn't I use my self control, my own will, to conquer sorrow? I chanted consistently thereafter and maintained a devotional mood. She is the utmost, Sri Sri Mata. I hope this post makes sence somehow, sleep-typing again.. at 1:00am Jai Ma!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Thank you, Diana. >From what you've written, it seems she is trying to bring you up and out of selfish grasping for love and into loving acceptance. Same trip she's been putting me on this summer. I'm practicing in another tradition and consider myself a guest in her tradition. That is to say, I have not made a conscious commitment to her. Maybe she thinks differently . . .
