Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Namaste - I wanted to forward this on to this group, as I think it is a great tool for us to use to increae our devotional and prayer time! This "Daily Amma" was certainly needed by me! What a great tool to be able to keep God, Amma, your ishta devata and such, in your life daily with ease. I am a working mom, 2 kids, holiday season here upon us... you all can understand that there is very little alone or quiet time, LOL! Lately one of my tricks to sneak in prayer is to pray during my daily commute to work. It's a 25-40 minute drive, so it's a great way to get a lot of prayer in, and also start my day so wonderfully. But I've also been looking for other ways to sneak in some more devotional time during my day - especially at work. This will certainly give me some extra devotional time, during breaks, downtime, or just in between typing. Thank you so much!

The heart that unfolds all its petals spreading the fragrance of goodness is the choicest offering at the altar of God" - Amma _____ AmmaBhakti [AmmaBhakti] On Behalf Of Mary Ann Sunday, December 18, 2005 3:59 PM AmmaBhakti [AmmaBhakti] Daily Amma If you cannot find free time to devote to the worship of God, try to be like the gopis. They did not set apart a separate time for prayer. They saw God while immersed in their work. They would repeat the holy name while churning the milk and grinding the grain, and doing all their other chores. The jars of pepper and coriander, and all the other spices, were labelled with the names of the Lord. When they wanted pepper they asked for Mukunda. When they gave someone coriander, they were giving Govinda. Those who came for milk and curd asked for them using the Lord's names. They were engaged in nothing but chanting Krishna's names everywhere, and at all times. Thus, they were always able to remember the Lord without any special effort. Those who are not able to set apart a special time for sadhana can still maintain remembrance of God in this way. -- Amma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
