Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Namah Shivaya, Just to clarify: Amma was not heard saying this; it was on a flier handed out before Devi Bhava in Rhode Island last year ( I was there ). It was an unusual flier which no one could cofirm was printed by MA Center or any other satsang. It didn't look like any other paperwork handed out. In other words, it is currently hearsay. Namah Shivaya, Anumati "this was presented as an important part of the reason why people were urged to join Ammachi's birthday celebrations last Fall." > > I just picked up the February-April 2004 WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT? > magazine.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Namah Shivayah, I disagree that it's hearsay. I was there, too, and was told by two different people high in the organization that it was Amma's express wish that this be handed out at that time.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Namah Shivaya, I stand corrected - I was under the impression that people had been asked and no one could confirm the veracity of the document.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Girija, one of our local devotees, asked Amma about this in Detroit last November. Amma didn¹t deny that she had said it. She just said something to the effect that ³due to good spiritual people like you (the questioner), perhaps the cyclone will instead be a gentle breeze.² BTW, a good friend of mine lives in Andrew Cohen¹s ashram and works on the WIE magazine. He said that Andrew has a photo of Amma in his office, along with photos of some other saints. on 3/1/04 7:11 AM, Anumati at anumati_devi wrote: > Namah Shivaya, > > I stand corrected - I was under the impression that people had been asked and > no one could confirm the veracity of the document. > > Anumati > > "E.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Namah Shivayah, Was it only handed out in Rhode Island? That seems odd to me.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Namah Shivaya When I was in Amritapuri in September, somebody I know was there and he told me of a rumor that had been told to him by a woman acquantance suggesting some kind of prediction he claimed a New York devotee said Amma had made. He said he wasn't sure of this as a fact 100%, but said the woman was very reliable. It was a pretty scary prediction. This fellow told me he asked Swamini Krishnamritprana about it and she said, "No, it's not true. Amma never said this. She did, however, confirm that the Rhode Island statement was true and that Amma had said this". Throughout our satsangs at Amritapuri before the birthday, Amma would answer questions and say things to the effect of, "catastrophes can be lessened and even averted if people gather like this for world peace". Of course, this is very much paraphrased. She also commented one day that people start all kinds of rumors saying, "Amma has said this and that." I think it was in reaction to a question a woman asked which was, "Amma, I've been told that in a couple of years we will only be able to see you in stadiums and that there will be no more hugging, etc. Amma, this scares me very much." This is when Amma said that wasn't true and that she would never stop hugging her children and that people start all kinds of rumors. In San Ramon in November during one of swamiji's early morning classes he commented on the R.I. prediction and said somebody had asked Amma about it...that she really didn't say very much except that as long as there are people like you in this world everything will be alright (or something to this effect...anyone remember this?)

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Amma's response in Michigan QA session was- Thanks to devotees like you. Let us hope that the cyclone turns to a gentle breeze.
