Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Om Namah Shivaya, 13 new people have asked Amma's Circle of Love Inside, (COLI), for letters. COLI is Amma's letter writing program for incarcerated men & women, which also sends Amma's books to prisons. If you've ever wanted to write spiritually uplifting letters to an incarcerated person, this is the ideal time to try it. Since, due to COLI's success, there is now a desperate need for more COLI writers. Writing COLI letters is one way to share the Love & guidance Amma so freely gives to us, with Her incarcerated children. Some writers have even taught Amma's MA-OM technique via letters, which has been warmly received. It's no secret that Amma helps even those who have yet to meet Her physical form. >From COLI recipients: "I want you to know that I really appreciate it when you write me, so I wanted to say thank you for what you are doing for me and the others! Most people just dismiss us as a failure of humankind. {Although some may be, the vast majority just simply made a bad choice.)" ....River, Mule Creek State Prison, Ione, CA, December 25, 2005 "I appreciate you because you didn't have to do and teach me the things you have. I am thankful to have met a person like you. It's people like you that make people like me change their ways and go on the side of good." ...Patrick, Graham Correctional Center, January 6, 2006. >From a previously incarcerated devotee: "People are really lonely locked up. Many peoples' families have turned away from them. Actually, for someone in prison, getting a letter is may be the equivalent of getting darshan for us - that's how serious it is." >From a COLI writer: "One young man wrote me lots of little short notes with questions. "Do people think of God in a female form?"--things like that. After nearly a year of this, he admitted that he felt powerfully drawn to Goddess Kali. He didn't really know what to do with it, but God was coming to him as Kali, and that was that! Br. Dayamrita got a lifelong Kali devotee to write to him. This young man just got himself transferred from a laid back prison to a maximum security uptight place, to be close to his family, so he could bring them closer together, could heal the pain in their relationships. Jai Kali Ma!" Amma sees Herself in each & every one of us, & we now have the golden opportunity to serve Amma in the form of Her incarcerated children. To write COLI letters, or for more information, please contact Aikya at circle.of.love..inside . Om Amriteshwaryai Namaha, Sweta swetabc Sneak preview the all-new .com. It's not radically different. Just radically better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
