Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 You want to hear a funny story. I got out my little book and CD to play the 108 names and I thought... today would be great to try and learn them, so I have been making little notes and replaying the CD over and over and over again and my daughters come to ask me what I am doing. I said Im trying to learn the 108 names of Amma. Hannah ask me to prounounce one so I did and she laugh thinking it was funny. They decided to have a snack and while they were making it they were laughing and chit chatting and I thought I would play a joke, so I started with the same 'hum' or 'tune' if you will of the 108 names but was saying them in English: Adoratioooons to Ammaaaa, who is the complete manifestation of the absolute Truuuuthyaiiii Namahhhh who is existence, knowledge, and bliss emooodiiieeedyaiiiiii Namah who is supremem among those who revel in the inner Selfyaiiiii Namah whose inner Self is merged in Yogayaiiiii Namah I got all the way to 18 who heart if full of mercyyaiiiii Namah... And Hannah looks at me and bursts out laughing saying "Your not suppose to do that in English!!!!!" and I just couldn't help but burst out laughing myself. Who knew they paid attention at satsang to know the difference. LOL How funny. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Namah Shivaya One of the sweetest chants i have ever heard is a compilation of names of Amma that some children created together, probably in a program for children some time ago. It's a great way to get them to practice from a place of great sincerity. Once we adults chanted it at our satsang and it was a big hit. Happy Valentines Day to all from Amritapuri. Thanks to the info on this list, i signed up for the MahaShivaratri Puja conducted here tomorrow. It is amazing to be in South India for Shivaratri. Half of our classes at the college have already gone home. Jai Amma. premarupa On 2/13/07, Robin Wilson <lilymoonjewel > wrote: > > You want to hear a funny story. > > I got out my little book and CD to play the 108 names and I thought... > today would be great to try and learn them, so I have been making little > notes and replaying the CD over and over and over again and my daughters > come to ask me what I am doing.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hi Kenna and all, I love the names the children make up about Amma in their Devi Bhava celebrations. They are so innocent and loving. Every time I hear them I think that adults should get together in groups and spontaneously make up "names" of Amma that express the blessings she has brought to each of our individual lives. On her birthday celebrations in San Ramon, people get up and tell their stories about blessings from Amma in what they call Garland of Gratitude. It's my favorite thing all year, not counting Amma's actual visit. Spontaneously speaking our own 100 or 1000 "Names" expressing gratitude for Amma's personal blessings would be like a shorter celebratory version.
