Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Just thought of a question from a retreat with Swami Dayamrita that I loved: At a retreat a few years back in Iowa with Swami Dayamrita, a question was asked, "How can we know if we are doing the right thing? How do we know that our actions will take us to the goal when we make so many mistakes in our lives?" Swami Dayamrita responded, "Have no worries or concerns about this. Once you have Amma for your guru, it is like the lamb's head in the lion's mouth. She will not let you go. She will fulfill Her promise. She will take you to the goal." in Amma, adriane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Swami said "Once you have Amma for your guru". How do we know that Amma is our Guru. Does everyone who gets hugged by Amma has Amma as their Guru? Or only those who receive a mantra or name? I mean how can we be very sure?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 A few years ago in Michigan, at the retreat Q&A session, someone asked Amma, "How do you know when you've found your guru?" Amma's reply was something like, "You'll know because you'll have fallen in love" -- and you could feel the whole room smile. =) Love, Iswari Ammachi, "Kysdonn" <kysdonn wrote: > > Swami said "Once you have Amma for your guru". > > How do we know that Amma is our Guru. > Does everyone who gets hugged by Amma has Amma as their Guru?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I remember that! And I am in LOVE! I also recall Swami Dayamrita giving a talk once comparing when we are in love with someone, we think about them all the time. How, when we arise in the morning, we think of him or her. When we are eating, we wonder what our beloved is eating. When we are going to work, we wonder what our beloved is doing. So with every activity, our beloved is immersed in our thoughts. And in being in LOVE with Amma..SHE is THE beloved! There can be no LOVE greater than Amma, my guru. Maybe someone remembers the rest of this talk too...? adriane Ammachi, "ammasiswari" <ammasiswari wrote: > > A few years ago in Michigan, at the retreat Q&A session, someone asked Amma, "How do > you know when you've found your guru?"
