Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Namah Shivaya Iswari, Last Christmas I e-mailed Swami Dayamrita about some families who needed help through a homeless service center, basically to ask permission to e-mail my local satsangs about their needs. One large reason I asked, is because I felt satsangs would be more responsive, if devotees knew it was O.K.. with Swami Dayamrita, rather than just me doing something on my own. Anyway, it was O.K., & not orchestrated through the MA Center. Amma philosophy seems to be that we shouldn't miss oportunities to help others, & if follow our hearts, sometimes avoiding red tape, I think we'll be able to do more help. I don't know anything about our efforts to help people, needing to go through the MA Center, if we're just reaching out as a group of individuals.

When you talked with Dayamrita, did you ask about this? Anyway, I think it's a beautiful inspiration and I hope to see it grow! Blessings, Iswari Aum Amriteswarayai Namaha!
