Guest guest Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Om Namah Shivayah, I remember reading somewhere that when a mala or Amma jewelry falls off it has some significance. Today I was talking about my mother (who has left her body) and the bracelet of Amma's that I wear everyday seemed to explode on my arm, sending beads everywhere. I was very upset that it broke, but I am wondering if anyone can elaborate on the significance of these types of things since I rememeber reading about it before. Thank you for any input!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Dear Ananthasree, I have heard that once a mala breaks or is lost that it means that some karma has been filled/taken and the mala should be replaced. I have also heard that it is simply broken and should be repaired. I had a mala that was strung on thin wire and I slept in it. It broke all the time, and I was constantly having it repaired. I finally had it rewired and stopped sleeping with it on, and it hasn't broken since. If you are talking about a mala that was Mother's that you paid megabucks for, I would definitely have it fixed. I have one that I've had for a couple of years and I wear it a lot. I am thinking that I should restring it, as elastic tends to wear out. This stuff is supposed to be very durable, but as you can see with clothes with elastic in them, it wears out. A woman at the MA bookstore told me that she had hers restrung. I restrung my husband's mala. These things just happen. But don't take my word for any of this.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 My understanding is that if a mala breaks, some karma has been burned, which is a good thing Having the mala restrung/rewired is sufficient. I actually make malas and repair wire wrapped malas in a traditional way if anyone is interested. Blessings!

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Rick- is this the same dog who waited in the trailer in Chicago while you got an Amma hug? If so, your dog wants to see Amma. It will be tricky if it's a big dog but you are creative. Dress him up and get him in the darshan line! A hat, sunglasses, etc...he'll look like any one of us! (I am a major dog lover and wish I could have taken some hurricane dogs). Or short of that, have him wait next to Amma's car, ready to open Her door. Your dog was previously a disciple of Amma's and he ate the beads to get your attention. You should sit in front of your dog and wait for his instructions on what to do next. Don't worry if he just gives you his paw, licks you or any of those regular doggie things. Every touch by this dog is a divine gift from Amma. I have to agree with Prasidini-your dog will have instant enlightenment.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 This is so interesting! I had a similar experience with the mantra bracelet. I had a mantra and then decided it needed to be changed. I asked a few devotees about this-does She ever do this, etc- and of course, many had their opinion that Amma never does such a thing. (Who could ever assume to know anything Amma would or wouldn't do escapes me!) Well I listened to myself and knew I should have a different mantra. So I asked her while getting a hug. She stopped me and said to ask Swamiji. He was standing right there, so I looked up to ask and She grabbed my ears laughing, "no no noooooo" and motioned that I was to get out of "hugging central" (what an Amma hog I am) and walk around to ask. I talked with Swami Dayamrita and he agreed. So I got my new mantra. BUT I had the "other" mantra on my bracelet. I asked the mantra bracelet desk about my dilemma. They said not to worry-it's really all the same. Well I can definitely agree with that. At some point, I can't even say when, I had a dream that my bracelet had broken in half. It seems Amma was around in the dream as well. (I used to have a LOT of dreams with Her in them but lately do not seem to. What's up with that, Amma?!!) I didn't know why I had that dream and asked a longtime devotee about it. He didn't know what it meant- probably that I was a demon or something. lol... One morning, I woke up-as I take my bracelet off at night. My bracelet had broken in half during my sleep while resting on Amma's petals from Devi Bhava! I was confused of course. Not being enlightened all the other things kick in. Like, How can I afford another bracelet?! So it sits still on the petals in two pieces. I still cannot figure out how it broke in half all by itself just sitting there. That's crazy!

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Very interesting coincidence. Just yesterday I seem to have lost a necklace I wore everyday that Amma blessed for me a few years ago. I have no idea what it means and I'll try not to worry about. Everything is Amma's grace.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 When staying at retreat November 2003, my beautiful mala disappeared from the room. I have no idea where it went but it's not ever been found. Someone told me that it went into the hands of someone who probably needed it more than I did. I don't know how that is possible! lol...but I've gotten by ok without it. Shortly afterwards I took IAM.... Adriane Ammachi, "jaiamma@g..." <jaiamma@g...> wrote: > Very interesting coincidence.

If so, your dog wants to see Amma. The dog who ate the mala got darshan from Amma in Ypsilanti last year when he was still a puppy. Our older dog got darshan the first time Amma came to Fairfield. These days Amma's "handlers" get pretty tense if you try to bring a dog near her, as someone in Germany brought a dog for darshan and it snapped at Amma and almost bit her.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Om Namah Shivayah, I had a similar situation last year (2004) and emailed Swamiji about the same. Actually, I had two malas break within a week of each other. Here is his answer: AUM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAHA Namah Sivaya PLease do not worry about the Malas breaking. You can string the Rudraksha beads together and start chanting with these again. Amma might have broken some of your karmas like this. So please do not worry. Thanks, Namah Sivaya, Dayamrita. Hope that helps. Namah Shivayah Erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Was this in Detroit Retreat ( westin airport Hotel )? What kind of mala was this one? ( 108 bead or small) I found a similar mala at airport security gate, paged on airport and sent email to this group but none responded. The mala is still with me unused.
