>Hello everyone,

>

>I recieved my first darshan from Mother yesterday afternoon in NYC.

>It was the most transformative experience of my life. To see her in

>person was an overwhelmingly joyous experience. I could not stop

>crying with joy from the time she entered the hall until the time I

>had to leave, although the tears when I had to leave came from not

>wanting to leave.

>

>When I made my way close to her in the darshan line, I began sobbing

>uncontrollably. I could literally feel love permeating every cell in

>my body. I was overflowing. Then, when I was in her arms, time stood

>still. I couldn't say if it was 30 seconds or 3 days that I was in

>her arms. I felt as if I had come home. As if my entire life were

>leading up to that one small moment. She chanted something in my ear

>that sounded like "momomomomo" and the vibration of her voice was so

>intense that I felt it in my chest. Could this have been "Ma" that

>she was chanting? Perhaps with her accent it sounded different to me.

>When I rose to my feet, my legs were weak and I was afraid that they

>were going to give out. As I walked across the hall, my head was

>spinning and I was very afraid I was going to faint, so I held on

>tightly to my friends arm. It was without a doubt that most beautiful

>and life-changing experience I have ever had in this lifetime.

>

>Also, my friend came with me as a form of support, because he knew

>the day was so important to me. He had never heard of nor knew who

>Mother is. As soon as he laid eyes on her, he began to weep and he

>kept saying "What is going on? Why am I crying? I feel so happy". He

>didn't know what to make of it and then, when he recieved darshan he

>began sobbing and as he walked away he said he felt faint as well. My

>best friend was touched by Amma yesterday, even though he thought he

>was going to simply support me. That was another great blessing for

>me, to see how happy and at peace my freind was after being touched

>by Mother.

>

>So that is the brief story of my first darshan. I am looking forward

>to hearing the stories of others who have had their first darshan

>this year as well!

>

>I also would like to know if any one can help me with

>information/advice about the Boston (Danvers, MA) program on

>Wednesday? I have had a little suprise from Mother in that I begged

>that I might get a chance to see her one more time before she leaves

>America. I just found out that I get out of work at 5:30 on Wednesday

>and that I don't have to be in until noon the next day. A friend has

>offered to drive us out there right after I get out of work, because

>she wants to meet Amma and experience this very special time as well.

>I live in Rhode Island, and according to MapQuest, Danvers is One

>hour and 14 minutes away. With traffic at that time, I am assuming we

>won't reach the hall until about close to 7:30 which is when the

>program starts.

>

>What I am wondering is if the fact that we may not get there until

>7:30 may make the night turn out to be dissapointing. Will we still

>be able to get a token that late? I ask because I know in NY they

>gave out tokens one hour before. Also, there will be bhajans and a

>meditation I believe. Does this start at 7:30? If so, what time does

>darshan start? I also wonder if anyone knows how full the attendance

>usually is at the Danvers program versus the NY program? I have heard

>that all of the programs are different as far as the amount of

>people...with some places numbering only in the hundreds and others

>in the thousands (Like NY for example).

>

>I ask all of this because I am nervous about making it there and

>driving the 1 1/2 hours back with enough time to get some sleep and

>get to a big work meeting the next day. I want to see Mother, but I

>am afraid of not leaving the hall until 4am and then driving back and

>being a wreck at work the next day (which I might do anyway, because

>I really want to go . If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly

>appreciated! Thank you.
