Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Manoj, Ever since I started going up for darshan with my Brazillian fiance, Amma has been speaking to us in Portuguese! I'm going to be ready this time, though, because I've been learning portuguese all winter! Knowing Amma, she'll probably start in with some other language this time! Jai Ma, Viva Mae!

Here is the best part - I respond in malayalam because I dont speak Tamil although I understand it somewhat! she speaks to my wife in malayalam though. leelas! I heard the below from a Michigan tour seva coordinator (name not important) who told me Amma wants people to have the darshan of Guru during BrahmaMuhurta time (the best sattvic time of the day for any sadhana) and sustain the energy, that is very efficacious for mantra chanting or seva etc. This is my input: Even "plain" darshan (meaning sight of the guru) in that time can be of more value FOR US at that time than at other times. It may be the surgeon's kind, cruel cut that Amma is playing out with this. seemingly cruel but infintely kind in helping us ground ourselves better and faster in our sadhana. I don't think it's a rumor; the lady is built of better character than spreading rumors. Jai Ma! Ammachi, "Mahamuni Das" <mahamuni> wrote: > Manoj, > > Who told you that Amma said this?
