Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Hello Bro & Sis, In 1994 was told many had tried to get Oprah to come to see Amma during Chicago programs......and I sent a letter expressing the benefits for Oprah to meet Mother.... because of a show Oprah aired with the primary guest, a nine year old pianist, whom, if I remember was world renounced...and she had tears in her eyes, saying that his "focus" impressed her so much....and then she went on to say, after interviewing this 9 year old, who mentioned meditation/prayer, that she, Oprah should learn meditation................. I never received a written response....but I did receive what I believe was an Amma response to my enthusiasm for Amma teaching Oprah meditation and giving Oprah darshan....and the circumstance went something like: Long Time Devotee : " I had worked in Chicago for 12 years developing programs for needy South side children....which was successful, and supported by major Chicago corporations,etc." Amritavarshini: " It had been a dream of mine to see the most powerful tiny black woman in the West (Oprah) meet and combine forces with the most effective tiny black woman from the East.....(we chuckled...knowing I met Amma as a universal Mother and Oprah as a media giant). Long Time Devotee: "Yeah...that's not going to happen, I have had repeated contact with her producers and Oprah has an inner circle protecting her like a band of _____(noun implicating war time soldiers who followed orders) surrounding her at all times. so..my dream of two tiny black women changing the worlds inhumanity to man....died ......until I saw the following email. Now I know it is in Amma's hands.......then I had no clue.....and still feel like I am only understanding........especially in the face of disaster. BTW, at the same time, I called customer service supervisor at Hershey, and asked if they would donate kisses for Amma's tour in the midwest, etc...and the response I got was "I don't think the bosses would have any interest in providing kisses to a female guru from India", with a most cocky attitude........ Oh for the passion of an innocent devotee........I was there and still have to put a lid on my utopian dreams ......of having Mother in every home in the world......followed visits to corporate board rooms and governmental offices visits. She is plucking them one by one........ And I feel so happy to have been in her lap !!! thanks for listening to my foolish dreams Shanti Shanti Shanti Amritavarshini On Saturday, September 10, 2005, at 11:36 PM, ckeniley2003 wrote: > Ammachi, Rick Archer <rick@s...> wrote: >> on 9/7/05 5:20 PM, Ardis Jackson at ardis1@v... wrote: >> >>> I just saw Julia Roberts, the actress, at the Astrodome in Houston. >>> She was wearing a shirt with an OM on it.
