Namaste:

 

I live in the Bible belt and have not encountered any problems

explaining

Amma. Also, my mother in law is a strict Cathloic and she wanted to

go with me

to

attend a darshan and it was beautiful.

Here is what I say to friends, family and patients at work.

 

I explain that Amma is a very advanced spiritual person. That I do

not want

them to think I am being blastmous (spell??) that when I go and see

Amma the

Bible comes to life for me. That I see all of Jesus's words and life

in action.

I say this with a lot of love in my heart. I explain that she offers

free

medical service and builds homes for widows, etc etc, and this

inspires me to be

 

more Christ like in my giving and serviing others.

 

I explain that one of the ways she helps others is that she hugs them

and

calls everyone her children. I let them know that I have personally

witnessed

her

sit for more than 9 hours hugging people with the same smile and love

and

care. That you can ask her questions and ask for a personal prayer

from her.

That

when you are hugged by her you can feel Divine Christ Love around her

and

smell sweet rose smells. I stay very simple and sweet when speaking

of her and

with a lot of love in my heart.

 

I explain that being in her presence and seeing a woman giving such

love and

care to people in the world without asking for a dime helps me as a

woman

relate better to walking a spiritual path. That I love Jesus but for

some reason

 

watching another woman walk a path of Divine Love and Compassion and

do

everything that Jesus did has helped me.

 

That Love & Compassion is so important to me that I dont care that I

dont

understand all the beautiful devotional music being sung and I dont

care if she

is showing her love through the Hindu path. So, each year, I go and

spend

spiritual retreat with her and I pray and meditate and cry and bring

all my

problems to her to help me understand and heal and become a better

person. So I

can

return and love/serve people more.

 

I usually do not go into the unbelievable profound spiritual

experiences I

have had with her which are beyond words. Or talk about my entire life

transforming since meeting her. I stay very light and simple with

truth as I

experience

it.

 

I have always experienced a very positive response when I speak of her

explaining from my heart meeting people at where they are at instead

of where I

am

at.

 

I prayed for Amma to give me the words because I am here to serve not

to be

crucified. She has never let me down in guiding me with what to say

to people.

 

I Loves Service
