Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Namah Shivayah, dear ones I'm feeling a little bit depressed that I did not get to take the IAM training here in LA. The contact listed at Amma's website kept returning my e-mails unsent, and when I got ahold of someone at satsang, I was informed that the class was full:( Does anyone know if there will be opportunities to learn it during the summer tour? I feel so sad! I sent so many e-mails and none of them went through! Think Mother likes to keep Her relationship with me suspenseful, as I recall Her telling me to wait until summer for my name. Sadness! Nameless and without Mother's special meditation technique... ah me. Sigh. Is this Her way of creating longing in my heart? Of helping me learn to cry to Her? I feel so emotional today, and miss Her so much. June seems so very far away... love, Brianna Finance: Get your refund fast by filing online. http://taxes./filing.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Namah Shivaya Brianna, There will be an IAM course here at San Ramon March 12-14th. I hope you can drive up here and attend it- too bad you missed the local one at L.A. Here at San Ramon, most probably, Dayamrita Swami will teach the course. I know its a long drive from LA up to San Ramon- but beleive me, it is worth it!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Dear Brianna, I don't know the official answer to your question. However, I would tend to doubt that it'd be possible for the IAM training to be offered during the summer tour, since the training itself is more than two days long and an effort to coordinate. I know that all of our energy among the NY planners will be going to tour coordination, and I'd imagine that it's the same situation for most, if not all, other cities. Take heart, and remember that everything happens in its own right time. I've heard of some devotees waiting more than 10 years for a spiritual name! Hopefully, though, you will get yours, and the IAM training, much sooner than that! ;-) When I'm missing Mother, I find it most helpful to connect to Her in my heart. Namah shivaya, Iswari P.S. In addition to the San Ramon IAM course already mentioned, there is an IAM training scheduled for Santa Barbara from March 5th to 7th. For further info, email to jbecchio. Blessings and good luck to you... Ammachi, Brianna Mosteller <rubyrapunzel> wrote: > Does anyone know if there will be opportunities to > learn it during the summer tour? I feel so sad!

I've heard of some devotees waiting more than 10 years for a spiritual name!" Namah Shivaya Hitchcockian Ones: I sympathize with the frustration over Amma's seeming delay tactics. Allow me to tell you of one concerning myself and another incident told to me by a long term Amma devotee. The incident told to to was about a man watched Amma giving Darshan from a considerable distance at a window somewhere on Amma’s Indian tour ten years back. He was not a devotee just an American traveling throughout India. He had some inkling about going up for Darshan but did not feel enough of an urge to brave the crowds. He stood from a significant distance and watched Her with his nose on a window. Then the traveler left and went about his travels. Ten years later He went up for Darshan at San Ramon. Amma smiled at Him radiantly-lovingly and without any prompting said, " Son, I saw you at the window but you did not come in" In my personal case I saw Amma for one Darshan and was not impressed. I did not come back again for five years. Now I see that the five years were necessary and Amma gave me this "delay" for my personal benefit.
