Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I have loved reading about all of the miraculous physical healings people have received through Amma. I have not however talked to many people personally who have experienced these healings. I myself have had chronic back and neck pain for about 10 years and I keep hoping that Amma will remove it. But so far, no such luck. I would like to ask any of you to share your experiences of physical healing. Has anyone here experienced a miraculous physical healing through Amma's grace?

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 One of the charming thing about our Amma is that She always leaves the door open for different interpretations. This summer at a retreat as I was getting ready in the morning, I took an odd little sidestep to allow my roommate to pass. There was a pop(!) in my right knee, and I felt a sharp pain. I immediately began hobbling around, as opposed to walking. Throughout the day, the knee became worse. (What I have learned is that one can't walk with one leg!) I was unable to bear any weight on that leg. A "healer" looked at my knee and solemnly reported that there was "not much" energy getting through the knee. Offers by kind people to get their chiropracter, their orthopedic doctor, etc. did not pan out. By late night I was exhausted from dragging myself around with a cane that my roommate had purchased for me at a drugstore. After being helped to my room, I surrendered to the situation amidst tears. I decided I'd stay in my hotel room all the next day, call the airline to arrange for a wheelchair at the airport, then go home and have knee surgery and spend the summer recuperating rather than following the tour. I even wrote Amma a little note (but didn't send it), saying I was like the little dog with its legs cut off who wants to keep rolling towards its Master. (Amma had told that story earlier in the day.) The next morning I called room service for my breakfast and crawled on my hands and knees to let the room service person in. After breakfast I was sitting in bed looking at my knee and observed that some of the swelling seemed to have disappeared. In fact, I noticed, my knee looked NORMAL! I decided to try to stand up. When I stood up, it didn't hurt. I could even walk! I did the rest of the retreat, including all night seva (sitting and standing) with a cane, but no real problem. I count this as one of Amma's miracles. When I returned home, I immediately saw an orthopedic dr. who had me rest for two days and who also gave me a form saying I needed wheelchair assistance for the airlines. X-rays showed nothing wrong, but the dr. felt extra fluid under the patella indicated there was some inflammation. He said I may have a minimal tear in the meniscus, and I could either have an MRI or wait and see. I elected to wait and see. Later, at another city, I saw the healer who had looked at my leg in LA. She was surprised to see me walking around, and both she and her friend reported that after seeing my knee in LA, she had confided to her friend that I had a really major knee injury, as there was virtually no energy getting through the knee at that time. Sometimes I still have some pain in that knee, and I'm not entirely sure it won't need surgery at some time, but I am sure that Amma did some of Her magic to transform a major problem into a smaller problem. How's that for a miracle? In Amma, Jyotsna dharmabum253 <dharmabum253 wrote: I have loved reading about all of the miraculous physical healings people have received through Amma.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Namah Shivaya Dave, Since the group seems story starved, I'll share a few healing stories that I know of first hand. The first incident involves a woman, Peggy, who lives in a nursing home & has never met Amma, but has enjoyed Her holy water, vibhuthi & loves to have people say Sanskrit prays & chants for her. Peggy gave permission to share the following experience. Peggy's high blood pressure (BP) had been an area of huge concern. Often Peggy's nurses would repeatedly check her BP as she would take meds & rest in bed, in an effort to avoid a stroke. Peggy requested a blessing & wanted a spiritual feeling. After using Amma's blessed water the first time, her BP fell, and she would apply it daily to her wrist. Later when Peggy was again concerned about her BP, she called for another blessing. Amma's vibhuthi has been used while praying & chanting for Peggy by more than one devotee. At Peggy's request, this is becoming a regular practice This week Peggy reported that her BP had dropped to 100/60 & her nurses were wondering if she even needed to take BP meds every day! Peggy also relayed that something wonderful would happen after each blessing, (packages in the mail, etc ...). Although Peggy hasn't met Amma, she is quite an advocate of the power of Her vibhuthi & blessed water. Her roommate also gets regular blessings. This week a staff member requested a blessing of Amma's vibhuthi, in addition to Amma's blessed water & Nov. tour information. The second one is about a friend who had an experience during her first darshan. She had to quit her position as massage therapist, due to pain from an injury. She was very close to becoming an RN, but this injury seemed it could also affect her in that line of work. Before her darshan, she passed a note to Amma requesting healing and prayed to Her. From across the hall, I noticed that Amma was giving her an exceptionally long hug. Afterwards she sat down next to me with Amma's fragrance strongly lingering on her. She relayed that when Amma hugged her, her entire body started vibrating, and her pain was then gone! She said that she also received an emotional and spiritual healing. Apparently she had been angry with God and hadn't prayed to Him for about 2 years, since the time her sister had died in an auto accident. She called the next day to say that it may sound strange, but as a result of her experience with Amma, she was returning to the Catholic church. The third is about a woman with whom I carpooled after she received her first darshan. She said she had been on disability for 2 years due to an injury she sustained in an automobile accident. After the darshan, her pain was gone, I believe for the first time in 2 years! The fourth is about my son, who is a very private person & would not want me to share the details of his experience. So, I'll just say that he experienced a definite and dramatic improvement of a serious condition for which a doctor was treating him, the next day after I wrote an unsent letter to Amma. If you ask, I believe that Amma will help you, if it's for your highest good. Otherwise, it may be in your best interest to experience the pain. I read that Amma said that if She removed some peoples' diseases, they would have to suffer even more in their next lifetimes. In addition, someone told me that Amma said She could take away Sw. Paramatanada's physical suffering, but then he wouldn't become God-realized in this lifetime.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Wow, Sweta, I greatly appreciate you sharing these wonderful stories! I'm wondering - I've never heard of the blessing request that you mentioned in the first story. What is that and how does one request a blessing?

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Dear Dave, Namah Shivaya, Using vibhuti or water blessed by Amma, we've chanted: Om 3 times & the Dhyana Sloka (this was so powerful once when we first began that Peggy's roommate said she felt like a shot of electricity went through her body ... Amma's shakti probably did!) The Triambakum Yajamehe mantra 3x, (healing mantra, I forgot it's name) Om lokah samastah sukhino bhavanatu, Om shanti 3X Asatoma satgamaya, tamasoma jyotir gamaya, mrytyorma amritamgamaya, Om shanti 3X Om purnamamadah purnamadah, purnat purnamudacyate, purnasya prunamadaya, purnam-eva-vasisyate, Om shanti 3x Om sri gurubhyo namaha harih om Peggy's name has also been read at times at the MA Center, towards the end of Saturday evening's satsangs, so all the devotees present could pray for her, in addition to others praying for her. If you would like, your name could be read this Saturday. It's all Amma David Cosentino <dharmabum253 wrote: Wow, Sweta, I greatly appreciate you sharing these wonderful stories!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Namah Shivaya, Thank you for sending the entire mantra. Someone told me that he had heard of amazing healings that resulted from this mantra being played continously on a tape near patients' hospital beds. Someone else suggested that it be chanted at least 27 times a day, in order to help heal our planet. Even without perfect pronunciation, I believe that God hears the intent After visiting & praying for the nursing home residents, I've always felt that I received so much more than I gave. After every visit, even when I drag myself in feeling tired, I leave feeling cleared, very energized, and my heart expanded & overflowing with love. Sounds a little like I received darshan, doesn't it? Not only have the residents appreciated the prayers & visits, but it's proving to be a wonderful form of sadhana that is helping me to grow, & helps me to feel much closer to Amma. sweta manoj_menon <ammasmon wrote: Ammachi, wrote: > Dear Dave, > Namah Shivaya, > > Using vibhuti or water blessed by Amma, we've chanted: > > Om 3 times & the Dhyana Sloka (this was so powerful once when we first began that Peggy's roommate said she felt like a shot of electricity went through her body ...

Someone else suggested that it be chanted at least 27 times a day, in order to help heal our planet. Even without perfect pronunciation, I believe that God hears the intent > There was a typo last time, so re-writing the same here (CAPITALIZED word was wrong last time): The MahaMrityumjay Mantra: Om Tryambakam (pronounced as thri-yum-buk-um)) yajaamahe SUGANDHIM pushti vardanam urmaarukmiva bandanaan mrtyor mukshiya maam-ra-TAAT I agree; God hears the intent and ignores the mis-pronunciation, especially if it is sincere and done without expecting any material gain for oneself, or without wishing harm for others. If mantra-chanting is done (any mantra for that matter) for self- centered reasons (like material gain), then one must take great care to do the chant and other rituals properly. One can clearly see your intent is good, but I used this post as an excuse to just write on this apect of chanting. About this particular mantra, it can be chanted 1. to avoid diseases (for self and others) 2. for good health (for self and others) 3. for removal of obstacles to goals (for self and others) 4. even for material prosperity (for self and others) You can read more on this mantra at http://www.srath.com/mantra/mrityunjaya.htm Jai Ma!

The third line should go as "urvaaru kameeva bandanaat"; arguably vaidik mantras as well as mantras of a certain no. of syllables can never be ari(enemy, causing harm) mantras, the benefit goes down if the pronounciation is not correct. I cannot praise this mantra enough; this mantra prevents serious accidents, chronic ailments and premature death. Today in these times of uncertaintly, a few japas of this mantra are advisable; while this is the simplest version of the Mrityumjaya mantra, there are other more complicated versions of this which ideally should be gotten from a guru. Karunamayi Amma recommends that this mantra be continually played in the house on tape/CD; there is something special about the atmosphere in the house when this is done. But each time my CD player would break down within 2 days of playing it continuously (happened 3 times so far, onetime on a brand new CD player). Interesting !!?? Sw. Ramakrishnanda told me that Amma highly recommends this mantra. -yogaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Mahamrityumjay Mantra's words looked slightly different at this web site below. You can also hear the audio, although it is not very clear. After reading about the power and benefits of this mantra from previous posts, I felt that I should find the words and correct pronounciation and start on it. Then suddenly this question came up in my mind. Question: If you got a Mantra from Amma (guru) and you have been chanting that mantra many times through the day, do you really need another mantra? Isn't chanting of mantra given by your guru more powerful and beneficial than listening to an audio recording or even chanting another mantra, including Mahamrityunjay Mantra? Can someone please help me out?

Evidently, I got a long way to in cultivating awareness/perfection of the collective process of: my readings, my reflections, my capacity to retain the info correctly, my re-collections, and my speech/writings Thanks for the gentle reminder. .
