Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Namaste to all... _/\_ I was wondering how you all feel about getting a mantra from Amma. Do you think it has changed your relationship with her? Do you feel it is necessary to do so? Is it possible to be a "good devotee" without having a mantra? What about receiving a name from Her? How is this different from getting a mantra? A few years ago, I was typing an email to a friend and thinking about what I was going to do afterwards. Suddenly, I looked at the email and I'd just typed out "Love, Padma". I didn't even realize it before that! It was a very VERY strange experience. So, I sort of feel like Padma is a name I was given by Ma some time ago. I take the thought of receiving a mantra and/or a name from Amma VERY seriously and am not sure if I am ready. However, there is a part of me that feels as if a mantra will strengthen my connection to Her and help me along with my sadhana. Any thoughts would be appreciated. With love!
