Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Namah Shivaya Thank you from the bottom of this heart, dear sister. Your writing completely captured the mood. It was like being there. Between the official version of Amma at the banquett and this, it's like a panorama. Shortly this child flies from WI to NYC to visit son and granddaughter. Son was doing sound for swamis at the banquet, so look forward to hearing his version. Only She knows why this child booked some weeks back for today instead of yesterday. Definitely not claiming divine powers on that one. Yes, somebody, please do get that Amma friendly payasam recipe and post for us. Then we can all feed Amma. Jai Amma. premarupa Aum Amriteswarayai Namaha! Terms of Service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
