Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hi all, I went to the public program in melbourne on Wednesday 5th and saw Amma for the first time. This was an awesome experience, when i first saw Her, i couldnt stop grinning. I really enjoyed hearing Her speak, although i couldnt understand what She said her voice had a soothing vibration to it. I was so looking forward to darshan, and hoped to get a chance to speak to Her. But as you all know the hall had a curfew so darshan was sped up... i understand this but i am worried. I dont know if perhaps i had unrealistic expectations of receiving Her blessing hug? i thought/hoped i would feel a change within myself but i felt relatively indifferent...im worried that becuase it was all rushed i was unable to go to Amma completely open? or perhaps i just wasnt open at all? im so confused about this. I believe everything Amma embodies and teaches so why was darshan not what i expected. I am not complaining at all, I am soooo grateful that i had the chance to be in Her arms (aswell as my mother who came aswell) Im just so worried that theres something wrong with me...it just felt so rushed. Any advice yous can give me will be a huge help! Love Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Dear Val, A swamini, the one from Australia, told me that often people go for darshan expecting something, then it seems that nothing happens. Apparently, when we don't expect anything, then we're more open to something happening. This was my experience.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I am glad you wrote about this, Val. I know you express the essence of misgivings that we all entertain when our spiritual activities don't resonate with our expectations. What then? vals_052 <vals_052 wrote: Hi all, I went to the public program in melbourne on Wednesday 5th and saw Amma for the first time.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 It is best not to have any expectations at all,-just be as a child.. then grace flows. I also have found that each time I see Amma, it may be different. Have no concerns or worries. Amma has only your greatest good for you always no matter what your experience. She has a hold of you TIGHT! Ammachi, forall10q <forall10q wrote: > > I am glad you wrote about this, Val.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Namah Shivaya. So glad you wrote to tell us Val. Amma operates at so many levels. As best you can, just relax and start noticing what¹s happening. It can be oh so subtle. Just let it be and you¹ll see. Thanks again for writing. premarupa > Hi all, I went to the public program in melbourne on Wednesday 5th and > saw Amma for the first time.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi Val, I come from a place very close to Amritapuri. I had an opportunity to meet AMMA in 1976. I refused!!! I met Her 26 years later in 2002. The Darshan took less than 5 seconds and I was very angry for having waited for over 6 hours for 'nothing'!!! Since then, I have had Her Darshan at least 15 times, I travel to Amritapuri at least twice a year (at present I am working at a place quite far from Amritapuri), I volunteer whenever She visits Bangalore and spend at least 3 hours a day searching the internet for collecting photographs of Her, interesting anecdotes and share them with a group. Today She is all to me. Ever in AMMA's Service.
