Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 - kalikat Ammachi Friday, April 09, 2004 1:26 PM mantras Namaste, I wondered about this too and did a google search on seed words, bijas, specific words in my mantra, etc., and had fairly good luck. Interestingly, doing this research startled me into awareness (again) of how deeply Mother knows us. I had been worried about the direction I had asked for my mantra to take but, in looking all of its bits and pieces up, Mother had double-focused it for me in the beginning! Gotta love Her naughty little heart! And, speaking of sheer playfulness, She got me a few days ago as well. This tale's a bit lengthy, so will do my best to cut it short. I have been reading like a fiend and continue to see that we must not be attached to anything in this world; on one of my drives to work, I was playing with the idea and came up with 5 personal items that I am still attached to (didn't go so far as to look at people in my world!)- 1 of the 5 was a stone hatchet head that my father (Sioux) carved before he died. Now, to jump, the counselor at my school found out that I have Sioux blood and she is, apparently, a Sioux freak for some reason. Hoping to educate me about my background, she brought a huge bag of books for me to read over spring break - in return, I told her I'd bring in the hatchet head my father carved to show her. I took the carving in and her response was: "Thank you! I will cherish this forever!" Now, since you don't know me personally, I'll tell you I'm a real wimp when it comes to face to face confrontation and I had no idea of how to get the hatchet head back without embarassing her in her misunderstanding. So, I simply said "I thought you'd like it." and left her office - only to literally hear Mother giggling softly inside me! Within two or three minutes, I realized that my loss wasn't a loss at all; the lady will probably cherish it far more than I did and I truly believe the carving is now with its rightful owner. I'm just wondering how - and when - I'll manage to lose possession of the other 4 items!!! At Mother's lotus feet, minus more baggage, Dixie dear group how does one go about discovering the "bija syllables" for their mantra?? kalika >Message: 6 > Thu, 08 Apr 2004 17:50:37 -0000 > "Erica" <sugarandbrine >Re: A Long MAntra Story > >Namah Shivayah, > >I actually had a similar experience as well.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hey, Snehalata, this was a great story! I've had similar experiences. I'm very sentimental, and have noticed that as soon as Amma came sweeping into my life, all of my most prized possesions began breaking or disappearing!! It is the love between you and your father that is eternal. pranams, Brianna --- Dixie Thacker <dixielou wrote: > > - > kalikat > Ammachi > Friday, April 09, 2004 1:26 PM > mantras > Namaste, > > I wondered about this too and did a google search > on seed words, bijas, specific words in my mantra, > etc., and had fairly good luck.
