Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I've been wanting to post this for a week, ever since I got back from seeing Amma in Michigan. It was a magical 5 days, and members of the Michgan satsang (and surrounding areas) worked so hard. It was a blessing to see how they pulled off the retreat and public programs with so much thought and thorough effort. Anyway, this Mother's child took notice and am infinitely grateful. Personally, there were a lot of great moments, from getting a ride with Erica from the airport, to taking the IAM course, to getting a spiritual name from Amma. And all the bhajans swirling around in my head to this day, a week later. And all the instances where people were crying just from being in Amma's presence. And the disabled people coming to see Amma and getting their limbs rubbed and caressed by Her. And all the people watching Her give darshan while fingering their beads, chanting their mantras silently. And the many instances where Amma would hold small children and play with them for a bit, and most children would laugh and be delighted and look for the Hershy's kiss. And all the couples and families that got blessed, deepening their bonds in Amma's love. And I really liked getting a massage, a 15 minute back and shoulder and neck rub, sitting in one of those special chairs, with the proceeds going to Amma's charities. It was a lot, and I feel truly blessed to have been a part of it. J'ai MA! -Rufus a.k.a. "Achyut" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
