LAKSHMI DEVI OPENS THE SHOW FROM 4:00 TO 4:30.

There is an Amma story around this.

 

I randomly surfed the web looking

for club performers exclusively

in Marin County. I came accross

a club in Novato...On a Thursday night

....the name Lakshmi Devi jumped out at me.

She was third on the bill (a very

inauspicious placement)

 

Lakshmi had a link from the club

site to her site....Once on the site

I have to admit having a still un-tamed

mind, that I was somewhat attracted

by her physical beauty.

 

Next I clicked on her mp 3

The (2) mp3 segments blew me away. I called her and lo and behold

she is an Amma devotee (has had three or four darshans)

 

....Then still another Amma coincidence. Lakshmi not only knew Geoffrey

Gordon (who is on the bill toward the end) but has played with him

often at the "Open Secret Bookstore" in San Rafael, CA.

 

She said she is a borderline "Amma person" who has a very strong

desire to play for Amma.

 

Since you are a musician, Sister Linda, I would be curious what you

think of Lakshmi's mp3 clips inserted above.

 

 

Dear GeorgeSon ~ sometimes I think I have heard so many synchronicities,

"miracles," prayers answered, etc., associated with Amma that I think nothing

new can surprise me, but this did. Your discovery of Laksmi Devi, her interest

in playing for Amma, and her not only being added to the "bill" for your

event, but being the opening musician are so incredible, I am just sitting here

with my mouth in a little round o.

And as you see, I have stars in my eyes. Her music is beautiful, filled with

heart and spirit.

I have added her site to my favorites, so I can buy her cd when it comes

out. : ) In a way, that actually made me happy, when normally it would have

made me sad, her voice reminded me of my own, before I got sick. Her voice is

clear, resonante, with a very natural, effortless quality. Hearing her sing

gave me a sense of wanting to do all I can to get my own voice back. So she is

already having a big affect. : )

 

Wish I could be there. Hope you'll have someone with a camera so you can

post pics in a Marin Benefit folder on our Page.

 

And GeorgeSon, methinks you are being a bit hard on yourself. Laksmi Devi is

beautiful, not only in appearance, but in the sense of the Light obviously

radiating out from within. I thought she was beautiful too. Blessings and

thanks for giving this wonderful gift by posting her website ~ Linda
