Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I have been on a Spiritual journey for many years since I was 20. And many times the roads were rough in my quest for understanding on the whys in the workings of the Universe and such. I would visit mediums and tarot card readers and so called Gurus and everything under the Sun dealing with Spiritual matters. .. I met my ex wife at work and she introduced me to one known as Sathya Sai Baba that many believe is an incarnation of God. For 17 years I was a follower of Sai Baba and in fact went twice to India to see him. Though vibhuti flows from his hand and have known many who were helped by him I always felt something missing. I could never pinpoint the reason. No matter how hard I tried to follow his teachings it just never seem to click though at one time he did save me from hitting a guardrail during a snowy winter and took me out of my body and showed me the glorious workings of the Universe. Still I felt an emptiness within me though I went along with it with my ex. Having had 5 children and my ex being at home it became financally dificult so I ended up with 2 jobs. Full time at that. Eventually not seeing each other often and at times being angry, not only at myself, my ex had a vision from Ganesha that the way to resolve this was for us to seperate. Which is what happened. We eventually divorced. So my ex ended up with the children and I in an apartment some 20 miles away. AS time went on I saw that this was best also. I got into AOL and there met many wonderful people. One person had in their profile someone they called Ammachi. Initially I didn't think much of it for so many people put things in their profile for this and that. As the years rolled by my curiosity started to get the best of me so I looked up Amma on the internet. What I read made my heart jump. It was like something I never felt. So 2 years ago I first saw Amma in Rhode Island. I can't say that it was an earth shattering experience but felt a love there that cannot be descibed. And the words she spoke to me over and over again .......Namo..Namo..Namo..Namo .. left an impression that lasted till I went to the Retreat lasy year in Rhode Island. It was was finally there that the realization came that she IS the Divine Mother of the Universe. Oh we still have our problems in life and such for we are born on this plane to extinquise the karmic patterns of past lifetimes. But I have found it going quicker knowing about Amma and sometimes I can't think of Amma there for the vibrations itself is sometimes to much. Oh I still have my problems today but knowing Amma has given me a blessings that I never knew before knowing her though Amma was around all the time. Namasté Alexander PS .. oh yes .. Amma has made it easy for going to the Rhode Island retreat on the 22nd of this month when I thought otherwise so ....Om Amma Namah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Welcome wayofeagle/Alexander, Verse 1 of the great Shakta hymn SaundaryaLahari, states that Shiva is a shava (dead body) without Shakti - it is truly the divine mother alone who brings total fulfillment in all realms , material and spiritual. We are all very fortunate, that Amma comes all the way to see us here. Amma's recommendation for solving all problems is chanting the Lalitha Sahasranamam, which is very beneficial if chanted in the early hours before sunrise. Rest assured that everything will improve by Amma's grace; I have been going to Amma retreats only in the last one year, but I have noticed how many people arrive in a very depressed and hopeless state, and six months later at the next retreat, they are very joyful and beaming with happiness. I hope you have a good time at Rhode Island!!
