Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 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 ! amma's blessings, a Ammachi, Ardis Jackson <ardis1 wrote: > > I have a swami story. > > When I went to LA to receive Amma's darshan last June, I didn't know > any of the Swamis. > > When the morning program was over, I was doing seva in the coffee shop > area. > > Just then, Swami Ramakrishnananda came in, looking a little tired.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 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.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 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. manoj_menon <ammademon wrote: Ammachi, "amarnath" <anatol_zinc wrote: > 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 ! > > amma's blessings, > a I agree with you, Amarnath, that more people should post.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 -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... -- In Ammachi, forall10q <forall10q wrote: > > New posts are good.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 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! Prasadini forall10q wrote: > New posts are good. You have to wonder with so many members, why so > few post.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 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.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 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. Ammachi, Ardis Jackson <ardis1 wrote: > > I love this post, brother.

"Light that is one though the lamps be many." - Incredible String Band I suspect that Amma would say that God is the light both within her and within Dayamrita. What makes her special to us is that she knows and radiates that more fully than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
