Michigan Retreat (and some questions about songs!) :)

[Guest guest]

Namah Shivayah,

 

Another tired daughter here ready to get some sleep. Michigan was amazingly

beautiful,

with so many amazing experiences with Mother. This was only my second Devi

Bhava, and

the most intense experience of my entire life. I was right in front and she was

looking into

my eyes, I felt as if I was being pulled by a wave so strongly that my body kept

wanting to

collapse and I had to be held up. I have never fainted in my life, and this was

so strange

because I was fighting not to lose consciousness. I saw her disappear COMPLETELY

and

then reappear and then disappear again......so hard to describe in words. I had

heard

stories similar to this, but never thought I would be lucky enough to experience

anything

like that. I am going to journal all of this sometime this week....it was all so

much...all so

beautiful.....I am reduced to tears of bliss....she melted my heart

 

To all of those brothers and sisters I met, it was wonderful meeting you.

 

Can someone tell me what the fast paced bhajan was at the very end of the night

prior to

Amma Amma Taye? Also there was a man and woman singing English Bhajans and their

music was so beautiful. Is there a CD of their bhajans....in particular there

was a song that

spoke of "my heart is your temple" or something to that effect. Can anyone tell

me the

name of that song?

 

Deleriously tired, humbled and in love....

Can someone tell me what the fast paced bhajan was at the very end of the night

prior to

Amma Amma Taye?

 

I believe it was "Amrita Vahini", an "Amma" adaptation

of a Kerala boat-racing song--or at least so Swamini

Krishnamrita once told me. (Tay, tay, tay, tay, tay tay

tum, tay tum, tikka tay tay tum, etc.) It starts on

page 20 of volume 4 Songbook.

 

Also there was a man and woman singing English Bhajans and their

music was so beautiful. Is there a CD of their bhajans....in particular there

was a song that

spoke of "my heart is your temple" or something to that effect. Can anyone tell

me the

name of that song?

 

I don't know the name of the song, but the group is

Jaya, and they were selling a CD in the bookstore. I

purchased one, but haven't played it yet. I enjoyed

their music, too. Years ago, they had a tape one

could purchase.

 

Like most, I'm readjusting to another time zone and

recovering from a long Devi Bhava.

It's called Amrita Vahini. Go to

http://www.amritapuri.org/amma/2005/509celebration.php and you'll actually

hear it.
