thanks ardis, i feel that even seemingly small encounters like yours

are also very, very significant; it's our attitude, our receptivity

that's an obstacle; god is everywhere; and god is so humble that

silence is his omnipresent abode; that's why i keep reminding myself

that besides:

 

GOD IS LOVE

also

GOD IS SILENCE

(this does not mean we shouldn't speak; but rather that we should not

lose notice of the inner silence/stillness even when we speak)

 

i feel that there are many more simple innocent encounters many of us

have had; but we forget them for some reason; i'm trying to take more

notice of these simple, innocent and silent things in my moment to

moment life

 

i encourage more people to post; every time someone "new" posts,

there is a freshness, simplicity and innocence that seem to penetrate

my heart; so please post ! thank you all for posting !

I agree with you, Amarnath, that more people should post. The

variety and diversity of thought will create a better and fresher e-

satsang.

 

People like me, for whom this is the only satsang for a long time

now, need this very much.

 

Jai Ma!

I had experienced Amma's darshan many times between her first tour of

North America and the late 90's, but I had never visited the MA Center

in San Ramon. A friend suggested that I drive out there for satsang.

Since Amma was not present, and I was not "religious" I wasn't sure why

I agreed to go.

 

Since the Sanskrit that I was familiar with was pronounced differently

than the way Keralans pronounce it, I found it difficult to follow the

texts and the bhajans. But I did enjoy the arati.

 

After the service, they served tea. The atmosphere was that of a warm

family. Everyone seemed very happy. Just then Br. Dayamrita joined

the group having tea. He came up to me with a huge smile on his face

and asked me what had brought me to the ashram that evening. I told him

that I had met Mother but I had never seen her home. He laughed with

delight. He told me that I would always be welcome in all of my

Mother's homes.

 

I still remember the sweetness of that moment. It seemed that there

were a lot of open hearted people in Mother's home.

New posts are good. You have to wonder with so many members, why so few post.

I know I do. Sometimes I think groups, any group, has a core group of members.

The core often can seem like a clique or tight-knit group that feels

impenetrable. So people linger. It's hard to just jump in and start talking.

Sometimes I don't post even when I want to because it seems like no one

interacts with new postings. So people feel left out. Small little quiet posts

usually just sit.

-New posts are great to read. But I can speak as a "post"er child or

being a non-poster child as well. Time is usually the greatest

constraint for the times I do not post. Sometimes I have not even

been able to READ digests due to a work load, ill family member and

such. Some may not have much to say and enjoy reading. And for those

who have things to share-well, we'd love to have you join in

anytime. I don't consider myself an "insider" necessarily either.

Even times I do not respond to new posts, I enjoy reading them. Heck

I enjoy all of it. Good, bad and ugly...LOL...

Namah Shivaya,

I know what you mean. There are some lists I don't post on because I

don't know what to say. But I am sure you have some really neat things

to post - and we all love Amma stories of all sorts, and quotes, and

your opinion on everything. And since we can become rowdy at times the

small little quiet posts are very nice.

Jai Ma!

Namah Shivaya dear all,

 

We had the Global Harmony Concert in Seattle last November as a

fundraising event to raise money towards Amma's Katrina Relief

initiatives. We were all assigned duties during the concert, and I

was asked to sit outside the concert hall at the CD selling desk to

sell CDs for the artistes who had graciously agreed to perform

without any charge for Amma. So there I was, reconciled to the 'bad

luck' of not being able to hear the great Ghatam and Saxophone

players on the other side of the walls behind me. It was a typical

gloomy, dark, dull and rainy Seattle Night.

 

Then the main doors of the building opened and Dayamrita Swamiji

walked in from one side, and as he approached us, those of us who

were stationed outside the auditorium started standing up from our

seats to greet Swamiji as he walked past us toward the auditorium

door.

 

That would have been pretty much all that would have happened - all

of us wishing him and him reciprocating and walking into the

auditorium where everyone was waiting for him to give the inaugural

speech. Except that Amma had something in mind for me that day. As I

got up and gently nodded my head downwards to Swamiji in respect,

whispering "Namah Shivaya", almost to myself, he did just the same

in return. But he was walking straight, and fast, and so I expected

not much more than a 5 degree twist to his side, and a 5 degree nod

downwards in acknowledgement of my greetings. But he gave me an

unbelievable additional 20 degree twist sideways and 40 degree nod

downwards in one swift motion. These extra sixty degrees coupled

with absolutely the most humble and affectionate look that I have

ever ever ever received from anyone in my life at any time,

completely melted me.

 

If I receive no other Darshan from Amma or from any Swamiji in this

lifetime, the memories of these moments at a distance of about 10

feet from Dayamrita Swamiji will carry me through. They have floated

by my mind every time I have thought of Swamiji since. I have tried

hard to break into the shell that would allow me to fully fathom or

understand all the pieces of the photographic memory of his face and

expressions in that less-than-one-second (and needless to say, it

feels like it will be a long time before I "get it"). The look of

humility and love had firmly imprinted itself in my mind as one of

the most blissful moments of my existence, right there and then.

 

I cannot forget this ever. I feel sometimes that if I were to leave

the earth now, this would be the picture in front of my eyes.

 

In Her Service,

-Gaurav.

 

ps: At the time this happened, Swamiji did not know me by name or

face. And it was the first time I had even looked at him directly in

the eye.

SIMILAR EXPERIENCE

Around 1998(?) first time Dayamaritaji came to Philly, some devotees

invited me unexpectantly. It was an interesting situation. I met Amma

in 1995 and was not so much into seva yet. But here I was sitting at

the book table way way back in the hall by the door. The hall was

very narrow and very long; I couldn't even make out the people

singing bhajans on stage in front of the hall.

 

Also, this was a day after christmas and rather cold; i had my shoes

off and my jacket off. I was freezing; for some reason it did not

occur to me to put my shoes and jacket on. When the cold became

unbearable, the only thing I could think of was Amma's words "I am

not the body." Almost immediately( a minute or two ), I looked toward

Daymaritaji far away in the front of the hall; and a light came

toward me; it soothed me and i felt some relief from the cold; and

also gained some wisdom as I put my shoes and jacket on.

 

It's All Amma's Grace which we can receive easily from the Swamis;

they are very sensitive to what we feel and think and do.

 

And, I also believe, all of us can even bless each other if we are

innocent and sincere; it's Amma's Grace.

 

As my former teacher said "we are born to bless not to punish."

 

Amma's Blessings,

amarnath

PS ~ another time, sitting close to the stage at the beginning of

Devi Bhava, i started to feel very good; I looked up to my right and

there was Dayamritaji quickly turning his gaze away from me as if to

avoid being caught. When we give love and respect, it comes back

several fold. Namaste.

I love this post, brother. It is so full of innocence and truth. Oh,

if we could only be forever open to Love... to both the giving and the

receiving. I love it when you catch someone unawares when they are

pouring out Amma's Love and they quickly look the other way. Such

humility.

Om Amriteswarye Namah:

 

The post was inspirational. Please post more often.

 

Please allow my two cents worth otra vez.

 

Since this experience was metaphysical any interpretation

of it is outside the box/beyond linear.

 

My sense here is that Sri Dayamrita was nothing more

than Amma's instrument. To be more candid

it was Amma and Amma alone who smiled!

 

Dayamrita uses every atom in his body to serve Amma.

He would be pleased to assert that he at best is

a light fixture. The fixture is needed. However

Amma and Amma alone is the light within Dayamrita.

She caused Dayamrita to turn his head. I feel

that the smile was Amma's alone!!

 

Om Amriteswarye Namah,

 

GeorgeSon

 

Different viewpoints on this are all valid.

I am sure their is much more to it than I can

fathom.
