To Sweta about Amma refusing mantras (was: To joanna about getting a mantra

A devotee said that Amma would not give a mantra to her friend, because Amma

just knew, correctly of course, that he had aleady been initiated with a

mantra by another Guru. Also at a retreat, I overheard a young man seeming to

complain that Amma wouldn't give him a mantra, because he already had one.

 

 

~Dear Sweta ~ your two posts on this are very interesting to me. When I

received my mantra from Amma many years ago, I don't recall being asked any

questions about whether I had previously received a mantra elsewhere. In fact, I

had, some 10 or so years previously, when I learned TM, I was given a mantra

based on some questions that were asked me. Perhaps this is like some of Amma's

other actions ~ inscrutable, and what She'll do about mantra for one will be

different for another. Jai Ma ~ Linda
