Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Aloha Amma's Own Children, I am becoming more and more clear about my heart's truest desire and this is to travel with Amma. Though I have traveled with her for a few months here and there, I was sad to leave because I ran out of money. I felt that since She is Laksmi Devi Herself She would help me find a way to continue with Her but it did not turn out that way. Now I can see it was partly due to my being drawn towards the world for other latent desires. but now that I have exhausted many of those with HER ceaseless support, I am ready to re-dedicate myself fully to being in Her presence. I have been here in Maui since HEr birthday working to save money to be with Her but one thing after another has happened where I have had to spend money and it has been like spinning my samsaric wheels in the mud of my ignorance. The idea recently came that mybe there are some kinds of grant foundations that would support an individual to volunteer in Amma's profound mission. I spoke with a woman who is a volunteer-grant writer and she said that it is definitely a possible thing and that I just need to get really clear about what my objectives are within it- the tangible aspects of my seva and also really be able to show how Amma's mission is satisfying the goals of some of these different grant foundations. She explained it like this: For example, there are some that would focus on medial-aid for the impoverished in third world countries and since AMma has Her state-of the-art hospital AIMS in India and since Her International tours are partly fund-raisers for this and Her other humanitarian projects in India, a grant foundation may give me a salary to volunteer on tour full-time and give the rest of the grant directly to AIMS. SO, now I am looking for these grant foundations. If anyone has any ideas about where to look, how to clarify some silly little atom's place in AMma's vast mission on paper for a grant foundation or any wisdom about any steps in this process, please let me know. If this is really possible as she said it was, this could help many of Amma's children be where they really want to be. What this woman, Laura told me was that the most important thing was to realize that it was possible and put ALL of my energy toward it. She has not met Amma yet but it was definitely Amma lifting up my sad lost heart back to the center of original focus.
