Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Namah Shivaya...my sincere thanks to everyone for the prayers and good wishes. I'm happy to say that the Bell's palsy is nearly gone (although I'm still pretty fatigued) and that my Lyme test results were normal. I may still have further testing when I return (because apparently, the regular blood test is not always so accurate among those who were treated in the early stages of Lyme disease, as I was 10 years ago), but....I got the green light from the neurologist today to travel to India for the three weeks I'd planned! It's hard to believe that I'll be en route to Amritapuri in one week (I'd best get to the consulate for my visa!)....and I am so overwhelmed at this unexpected grace that aligned everything for me to go (when, logically, I could have come up with 100 reasons why it would have been impossible!). I was about to say I have no idea what I'm diving into (first trip to India), but then I always seem to feel that way when going to spend time with Amma! I remember Swamiji once talking about how he had spent so many years around Her, and how She just kept becoming more and more of a mystery to him...and that really resonated! It's funny. On a superficial level, I'm a little anxious about adjusting to India, physically and a little wistful at the thought of being away from my husband for longer than I ever have since we've been together...but on a deeper level, there is no fear, but only peace and deep contentment as I reflect upon this journey I'm about to take. I just want to be there... =) (I feel, in some way, that I already am!) In Amma's love, Iswari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Om Namah Shivayah! Wonderful. I am so happy to hear this! I had a very strong feeling that you would end up going after all. When you had posted worried the first time, I pictured you in my meditations once as already being there and I felt that it would work out. How exciting! I hope that you will keep us updated if you get a moment to post. I love hearing of others going to Amritapuri, since I am so desperate to go myself. Wishes for a safe trip filled with all of the wonder and magic that is Amma! Jai Ma!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Am so happy for answered prayers. Your mysterious physical problems have only made the "taste" of Amma more sweet! May your stay in India be a fulfillment of your deepest dreams.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Dear Iswari, So glad that you are doing well and going to see our Mother. Have a great time - and know that She will be taking care of you on your journey. It is said that Mother takes care of those we leave at home when we visit Her, so know that your husband will be in good hands! :-) Your sisters and brothers are waiting for the details when you return!! Jai, Jai Ma! Love, prasadini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Yes, the taste of Amma is really sweet right now, even if she did skewer me in Boston! ;-) I am just feeling so much bliss right now, even though I'm not leaving for another week!
