Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 OM NAMAH SIVAYA your story of Judas made me think of an article in the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram newsletter i received in the mail yesterday. Ram Dass tells where he and his crew were traveling by bus thru India en route to Delhi and were very tired. they were agonizing over the decision of whether or not they would stop at Allahabad to visit the holy rivers or go on to Delhi. after much discussion even though they were very weary they decided to go to Allahabad. when they arrived they pulled in to park near the Hanuman Temple to part. the first person they saw was Neem Karoli Baba. they all scrambled off the bus and rushed to His feet. Maharajji said, "well you've come." He instructed them to follow Him to a devotee's house and within minutes they were given food. Ram Dass found out that the food was being prepared since morning under Maharajji's instruction as he was anticipating their arrival. it seems they only "thought" they were making the decision to go to Allahabad. i suspect it was the same for Judas. he may have been surprised how things went down i doubt Jesus was. is it possible for us to "use" Amma? or does She use us? The newsletter also said Neem Karoli Baba used to always quote this from the Ramayana where Ram says to a devotee, "Friend, why are you worried? Surrender by My power all thoughts to Me, and all your priorities will determine themselves." i like this quote as a prayer.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Namah Shivayah, Wow. That's funny. I also pulled out Miracle Of Love last night, and have been thinking about Maharajji as well. I even added a photo of him to my website last night. Jai! Ananthasree http://www.ananthasree.com Ammachi, "Prashanti " <ammasprashanti wrote: > > Thanks for that story, ecjensen.
