Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Back in 1987, Amma gave sacred thread to at least a few Westerners that I know of, at Her insistance. Ron and Sridhar for sure, and I would imagine Steve and Steve and others. I wonder if She gave them Gayatri Mantra as well? Does anyone know? I will have to call Sridhar and ask him tomorrow. - Arun Raj Ammachi Friday, August 19, 2005 10:12 AM Re: Gayatri mantra to be initiated by Amma is awesome, irrespective of the mantra. its the resolve behind the mantra that matters. Amma has over the years initiated devotees in mantras as diverse as jewish, buddist & madarin... even mantras on the formless brahman. gayathri is traditionally, considered a superior mantra, bcoz of several reasons, mainly due to the fact that it acts directly on the surya nadi (solar nerve). boys born into the brahmin caste (usually at the age of 9) are initiated into gayatri. devotees bring their kids to Amma to do this initiation. Amma initiatied me into brahminhood when i was a kid. at Her Lotus Feet, Her baby : ) - manoj_menon Ammachi Thursday, August 18, 2005 6:33 PM Re: To manoj on Gayatri mantra Ammachi, nierika@a... wrote: > > manoj wrote: > > And I know of one case where Amma initiated someone (kid) into the > Gayatri mantra. and Bala, you know him too! > > > Dear manoj ~ I did not know that the Gayatri mantra is supposed to > be a secret.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hi Mahamuni, You surely seem to know a lot about this organization and it's history. Why are you so shy as to not tell us your real name? Mahamuni you may be, but how about a little "Satyamuni"? I like it when people use their real names.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'm not sure what you mean by a little "Satyamuni". Everything I have said has been true. I've been around Amma since 1990, not that long--certainly not long enough for me. I am certainly not a Mahamuni. Mahamuni Babaji was a focus of worship for me for a long time, so even this main email title is devoted to Him. I certainly wasn't trying to hide, just didn't sign the emails at all. My profile is available for everyone and that has a pic of me in India and some of the various names people call me. Might as well have a little fun now that you mention it. Jai Maa! - E.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Actually, I enjoy your posts a lot. I'm sure they're true. Sometimes I just like to know who is speaking.
