Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 *Amma plans low-key birthday this time* Web posted at: 9/26/2005 2:36:13 Source ::: IANS Kollam: Quite unlike the celebrity-studded bash on her 50th birthday in Kochi two years back, spiritual guru Mata Amritanandamayi will have a quiet birthday at her ashram here tomorrow. Amma, as Mata Amritanandamayi is popularly called by her devotees, would give 'darshan' (audience) and also address the gathering. A special Sri Guru Padapuja ritual would be performed, a press release issued by her ashram said. On the occasion, Amma will distribute keys to 550 tsunami-relief houses besides free fishing boats, boat engines and fishing nets to beneficiaries who have been identified by the ashram. The ashram will also launch its 'Matru Gramam' programme on September 27, wherein select villages would be given assistance in becoming self-reliant. http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/Display_news.asp?section=World_News&subsection=\ India&month=September2005&file=World_News2005092623613.xml -- "Naan Amme Snehikkunnu" Be Love, Egyirba (Berijoy) http://www.egyirba.net /`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/`/` -=-=- .... 0351."Stillness can come to a farmer as he fantasizes about his crop and the immense harvest that he is going to reap. An ordinary lover who contemplates his beloved can also have the same experience. But these people are all still egocentric. They are still on the mental plane. They are all overburdened. Their heads are full of thoughts, ideas and plans for the future. Once they come out of their so-called stillness, which does not last long, they are once again the same old small ego." - Vol.5, p17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
