Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Om Namah Sivaya, Children of Amma, I would like to share with you a very exciting SEVA opportunity inspired by an Innocent Desire of a devotee of Amma, Temba Spirits. Temba's life started in the ghettos of Chicago including gangs, drugs, homelessness, a bullet in his chest( still embedded close to his heart ) and finally prison. But before prison, Temba met Amma and his heart opened in an amazing way. In Prison he read and contemplated Amma's teachings in the ten volumes of "Awaken Children" at least two times. And other prisoners around Temba were being inspired in a very innocent spontaneous way. Somehow hearts were being opened to Amma's Love. For Temba's story see : http://www.amritapuri.org/children/exp/kelly.php Temba feels that the prison actually saved his life. When he met Amma again, he was feeling very deeply the desire for others (especially the youth in similar life circumstances as his own ) to have the blessings of meeting Amma, being hugged by Amma and to have their lives changed for the better as his was. This feeling was so strong that Amma responded with a sankalpa "YOUR INNOCENT DESIRE WILL HAPPEN IN TIME." So, now it is happening. Temba is meeting with many youth organizations and the response is phenomenal. Two groups of young artists are in the process of drawing/painting large wall Murals ~ one in the ghetto of Richmond, Ca and one in Chicago. See pictures: http://ph.Ammachi/photos and click on "Amma Mural" Temba is arranging for many youths to come see Amma this summer. Seva opportunities are in providing, driving, and/or donating money to rent extra Vans. The more Vans we can provide the more young people can come to see Amma. Also, Temba would like to provide free food as Amma does in India for thousands who come for Her hugs; or just to catch a glimpse of Her as the crowds can get into hundred of thousands. Compared to the Indian crowds we are talking about relatively small numbers. But then who knows what will happen. It's all up to us ~ to the Amma God in us. Donations can be done by sending checks( made out to M.A.Center ) to: June (Sweta)Mitzel P.O Box 365 Boulder Creek,CA 95006 Sweta can also do PayPal( jpm333_bc ) if that is more convenient ~ (jpm333_bc M.A.Center is a Tax-Deductible Charitable organization. Also, devotees who can help directly( contacts, driving vans, etc ) can contact Temba Spirits directly @ 773-552-4999 and/or tembaspirits "Children always remember when Mother says something it should not be taken lightly. It is the Supreme that makes Her speak. Whatever She says must come to pass either in the near future or distant future because Her words are not her own but that of the LORD."-AMMA AWAKEN CHILDREN VOLUME TWO PAGE 96 Prayers and good wishes are also SEVA. Please share this good news with others. Amma's Blessings, amarnath PS ~ any ideas how to spread the word, etc please respond online/offline. May all being everywhere be peaceful, happy and free from hunger and violence! Thank You Amma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
