Helena's interview with Swami recently... quite a read

-0800 (PST) Sai Ram Jenny,

I see Rita daily. The group sits in a section close to where the teachers sit.

Only 8 members of the group were called for theinterview, although Swami said he

wants to call all the women in a few days. We sang Dec 26. People are saying

that our program really pleased Swami plus the devotes in general.

 

Swami is walking a little every day since Christmas day. Yesterday he sat in

his chair in the Mandir for the first time in 2.5 years.

 

Swami told me that we can help in his healing by repeating the Gayatri. The

energy goes to Him as well. I asked Swami what we could do to help Him since

He will not heal Himself. Spread the word.

Tonight Anil Kumar is speaking to our group. Swami has expressed great joy in

our program because it came from the Heart. Other VIP's who have spoken have

said that our program was exceptional. We are here on a Healing Mission I

believe.

 

There are about 93 women and 76 men in our group right now.

 

Love,

you for many years to come. Was Rita with you when the other ladies werecalled

in for the interview? Have you seen her orare the crowds still so big that you

can't findanybody? Thank you for keeping me informed, itmakes me feel I'm there

somehow! In His Divine Light & Love,Jenny

RE: Reply to Dec 12 2005 email Hi Cynch,Our group from S. CA &

Hawaii has had amazing Grace since our arrival here at the ashram. We have

been meeting at home since Aug.We were given 3 different colored saris to wear

during darshan when Sai Baba comes out and is driven through the crowds. We

have two choirs. One of them is directed by a woman who has directed choirs

for US Presidents in the past.

 

Two days ago, we got to sit close to the temple where Swami has his interview

room and the actual temple or Mandir.The men VIP's sit on the veranda outside

of Baba's interview room. We conducted our program from 4 pm to 6:10 pm when

normallysinging goes from 5 until 5:30 at the ashram. Swami really liked our

program. You could see it, otherwise, he would have asked us to stop, which he

often does when overseas programs are presented to Him. At one point, he

totally blissed out, obviously in a high state of samadi as he listened to us.

I was not able to make the time commitement to be formally a member of the choir

or bhajan groups, but I got to sing anyway. We had one practice before

performing the same day......those of us who were just followers. I ended up

sitting directly in front of Swami some rolls back with an excellent view of

all. If that was not enough Grace for this trip alone, He called myself and

seven others from our group in for a private interview. It had been 14 years

since my last interview in 1991.

 

Swami materialized a very gold, perhaps 24k rosary for me to use when I repeat

mantras and meditate. He put it around my neck and held my hand for a long

time. I was totally Blissed out. Much more happened than I can explain here.

 

I thanked him for the amarita manifestations on pictures in my apt,

particularly the one on my right sholder which was broken in 2002. He

said....Yes, I know....It was very painful.

Also, there was that look of understanding about what had gone on when that

whole episode happened. The whole thing with Ammachi, whom I was visiting

when it happened. He also told me that my troubles are over. I hope you

don't mind, but I am going to share this email with some other friends as time

is short, and I do not have have much of it to send email.

 

The group and its commitements keep me very busy. I did have a dream 4 mos ago

which described aspects of yesterday's interview....... an interview with

only women, some of whom were so moved by it that they were in tears. Swami

gives very few interviews these last few years.

 

Love,

Helena PS: Swami asked me "How are your children?" I thought a moment and

then realized he was talking about "the kids", Paloma & Ginger, my two birds.

I reminded Swami that I had sent photos of Paloma in my last letter to him,

Global Priority about two months ago, when I told Him of my intention to come

to visit Him, but I was really concerned about leaving my birds alone for so

long a time, and their maintenance and upkeep, which you are taking care of for

me.
