Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Regarding the message below.... The more common question usually asked by people is "why did GOD allow this to happen?" But these things happen in nature and in life, and throughout history I don't think anyone has had an answer to that question that has satisfied many people. It is one of the mysteries of the Divine that we cannot understand fully. Attaching blame to a person because they did not predict it is, IMHO, foolhardy and immature. I would like to suggest that if you do not like Amma that you find another group to participate in. I found similiar situations in other groups of different spiritual traditions that people of other faiths, for whatever reason, liked to come in to the chat and try to convert us or change our beliefs. That is fine for a group that is about religous debates and discussion. But not for a group devoted to sharing teachings about a particular spiritual tradition or master.

Most of the people died near Mata Amritananda Mayi's Ashram. I was a follower of Amritanda Mayi. Swamis including Amrita Swaroopnnada, Neil told me she is the incarnation of God. Her biography tells that she has the power to foresee things. The book tells that she predicted, former Indian PM, Indira Gandhi's assassination. This claim later proved to be wrong. The incarnation of All Mighty could have avoided this disaster by using her power to predict future. After 6 years I got the revelation; no difference between Mayi and the TV evangelists. None of her predictions came true inmy life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means knowing what you're divinely inspired to know. ::Here's the rub with that one. I used to believe this and it seems reasonable enough. the question is how would the world's greatest natural disaster, killing perhaps one hundred thousand people (by the time contagion sets in) NOT be something such a one would be "divinely inspired to know?" A lot less important things have been "divinely inspired," so how would one explain a major calamity as being not important enough to know? People all the time say things as if Amma is playing little cute games with them, them specifically, and yet tens of thousands are lost, even in her own backyard, and she didn't need to know it?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 When a disaster in someone's life is averted, I have heard many say that it was Amma's grace. When something is not averted, immediately it is stated by many that it is not an avatar's duty, it is their karma ... Here we have a suggestion that just because this person asked a question, he is out here to convert etc. An honest question deserves an honest answer (preferable) or silence, not some BS about 'if you don't like Amma, get out'. If it turns out later that this person is only out to discredit Amma, I agree that this person might find a better forum on ammachi_free_speech_zone or other forum.
