Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Namah Shivaya, I have very sad news to share about an Amma devotee named Vaishnavi Crowl. She died recently. Please pray for the peace and happiness of her soul. She has a sister, Ellen, another one whose name I don't know, and a terminally ill mother. Vaishnavi shared a lot of herself on the Amma email list a few years ago inspiring us with many Amma quotes and spiritual upliftment. If you have anything to share about Vaishnavi, please share it here on the list and so I can share it with others at a memorial service. Thank you, Fe Langdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Fe: May Vaishnavi's soul find eternal peace and happiness in Amma. Thank you for sharing her story with the group - it helped people like me, who didn't know her personally, find out what a great person she was as a human being and as a devotee of our beloved Amma. May her soul rest in peace. Our prayers go out to her soul and to her family. Uma.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Thank you Uma. I believe these are Vaishnavi's last words to this list in December of 2001(she may have posted at a later date as well): "I want to thank all of you wonderful dear ones for the e-satsang you have given me. I used to feel so isolated, and now I have made contact with so many of Amma's devotees, that I feel like I'm part of a family. I don't know if this is going to be permanent or of it's only going to be temporary. It's all in Amma's hands." Earlier that year she said: "Ah Mother's beloved children, may we feel Mothers loving presence with us in our every breath and every heartbeat. She is ever with us! It is only our minds that keep us from this abiding truth. Oh Divine Mother, please bless your daughters and sons with full awareness of the unbroken, ever flowing love and grace that you bestow upon us all." I think I met Vaishavi in 2000 after an outdoor meditation with Amma in San Ramon. Her bed was outdoors near the pond. She needed help bringing her bed back into the ashram so I volunteered. I found out that she lived only a few blocks from my house. I thought I was the only Amma devotee in Mountain View. Being around Amma, I notice I have synchronicities in my life, I meet the people I need to meet. Vaishnavi's health made it difficult for her to do things like laundry, going grocery shopping, cleaning house so I met with her once a week to help her out. After the housework, we made up our own "puja". Neither of us really know how to do a real puja so we just made up our own ritual. Oftentimes, Vaishnavi would make beautiful cards with people's names beautifully printed and decorated. She put these cards on her altar, and we prayed for the people who were going through a difficult time. I remember some people we prayed about from this list. We put Amma's vibhuti on their names or on their photos. She was a playful, devotional, deeply insightful person who liked to help people with their problems. She was a therapist. When I was having a very difficult time because my husband was quite ill with cancer, she gave me a lot of prayers and moral support. She gave me some food for thought, shared some insights with me, and many Amma quotes! Here's one of Vaishnavi's blessings to this group: "May the radiant beams of Mother's divine love flow through your hearts and the hearts of all beings!"
