Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Namah shivaya The man did not come to Amma for healing or anything like that. The latest info i get from chatting with a friend at Amritapuri is that it was a plot. this man may have been a stooge or whatever, but there were two others in the crowd who also assaulted the brahmacharies. I can discuss this offline with whomever- i cannot discuss further here. Please pray. bala carol tessier <caroltessier2003 wrote: The man came to Amma for healing. She healed him with her unconditional love, and forgiveness of the act. Don't dwell on the past. Let it go.

Yes Krishna tried all possible methods of peace with the kauravas but nevertheless he did not tolerate adharma. I dont think the attacker was mentally ill. Rather the other two people who ran away from the crowd make me feel that this was a calculated plot. Also, this man was intelligent enough to dress up as a brahmachari- he was wearing a yellow shawl and he concealed a knife. He says, according to the news reports, that "he loves Amma more than god"... is that why he carried a knife with him? and doesnt a devotee of 18 years know that you get darshan by getting a token , not by rushing the stage during darshan with a knife in your hand? whom is he kidding? please.. also, why should I side with evil? why shouldnt I be ready to condemn something i consider horrible? Hasnt the world suffered enough from people who persecute mahatmas? Georgeson talks about bad karma accumulated by the man- what about the bad karma generated for humanity as a whole when a Divine Being is persecuted? the problem is that in the name of goodness we tolerate too much evil. We blame the victim very often .. Goodness and compassion doesnt mean we should tolerate evil , or be gentle with scoundrels. yes that man has a soul , Amma, the divine spark deep within. I dont disagree. I have nothing against his soul- it is his mind that came up with this macabre plot, and his absolute lack of a conscience that I am against. My anger is just a way of expressing my uncompromising attitude against such people. Also Amma has acquired many enemies because of the beautiful work she is doing. People like politicians who see that Her sincere work is making Her very popular, people like misguided members of certain organisations who see that they cannot convert as many people as they used to to their religion because of Amma's godly influence, people who are plain jealous , people who want to make money through false means and people who are seeking power .... I cannot tolerate anyone among these groups who will actually decend to the level of attempting to murder a Mahatma in order to foster their own selfish interests. Amma is one of the greatest beings to set foot on earth, and even from a purely worldly standpoint, She is one of the greatest humanitarians ever. That She, through Her simple hugging , is able to heal the wounds of millions, and inspire so many millions of charitable acts, itself makes Her a miracle. I dont care if She is omniscient or realized or Devi or Krishna or not. Her simple and sure way of soothing people's hearts and reaching out to millions makes Her one of the greatest humans ever. That anyone would think of hurting, let alone kill, such a being is beyond imagination. It shows the depths of degradation that man can sink to, the bestial abyss that the so called "evolved" human being is capable of. In being angry with this man, i am being angry with all that is wrong and evil in this world. To me sunday's incident is the attempted replaying of the crucifixion of Christ. It shows that mankind, as a whole, has not improved much in 2000 years. Rama was maligned, there were numerous attempts on Krishna's life, Jesus was tortured and killed in a most barbaric fashion, every mahatma has had to deal with such muck. As Sri Aurobindo says " "Hard indeed is the world redeemer's task His enemies are the ones he came to save.." and "The cross the payment for the crown they came to give". To me , sunday's incident is symbolic of all that is wrong on earth, it is symbolic of all of man's ignorance and perversion, it is once again the ugly sore of man's ego showing through, the putrid tumor of evil spreading its cancerous poison in the heart of humanity. the incident should make us deeply angry and sad and ashamed. Ashamed to be a human being. bala Start your day with - make it your home page Aum Amriteswarayai Namaha!
