Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Dear Omenka: It is inspirational to hear from a genuine sincere spiritual seeker like Omenka. Everything she talked about about is familiar. I not only relate to your post but have suffered and am suffering through a similar crisis. Referring to the syrupy pre-pubescent teeny bopper tune "Bobby's Girl" is somewhat callous. We need to recognize the pain in these posts. Why belittle a sharing of ones deep-seated struggles? This need to be a safe atmosphere for sharing. After pouring my guts out will someone allude to a teen lament even lower than Britney Spears? Sincere Spiritual life is not easy. Can we respect each others pain? I like to lighten up also. Pop songs for Amma occur to me as well. But "Bobby's Girl? "You're not a kid anymore?" This is an an injustice to Omenka. "I wanna be Bobby's Girl?" The lyrics are even inappropriate as a spoof. Are we pining after Amma as if enmeshed in the throes of teenage crush? Why be so cavalier? Hang in there Omenkaji.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Dearest George, If Amma speaks to Omenka through "Bobby's Girl" lyrics, then it is her personal connection to Amma. I guess I don't understand how Amma speaks to each person as individuals, so I try not to. I understand your concern for the sanctity of Amma's name. I also appreciate that greatly. However, Amma speak to each of us in different ways -- including through pop songs. There have been a couple of times when I thought I heard Amma's voice on the radio! With lots of love and respect, Niseema, Amma's Girl! Ammachi, GeorgeSon <leokomor> wrote: > Dear Omenka: > > It is inspirational to hear from a genuine sincere spiritual seeker like Omenka.
