We don't hear very much about Mother Meera here, and I'm happy you

bring this up. Thank you. I'm told once that Mother Meera instruct her

disciple to close down several website dedicated to her. I thought

that is a very noble thing to do. Maybe that is one the reason I

really like her.

 

Thank you once again.

I really like her too. In fact, about a month ago I reserved a place

at her New York darshan. My first encounter with her was very low-key

and undramatic, but (in my opinion) ultimately life-changing. I have

nothing in particular to ask or say (her darshans aren't verbal

anyway); I would simply like to lay a flower at her feet. She is the

Real McCoy, as they say. ;-)

The important thing to remember is that she's not a guru, not a

teacher - she's a channel for a great Power that flows through her

and is palpable when you approach her for pranam and especially when

you look into her eyes. If you're in tune with her you can get some

small feeling for this even when you just stare at her photographs.

Even if you could ask her a question she'd respond with the most

mundane set of Hindu cliches you could imagine. Her " Answers " are

simply regurgitations of the talking points drilled into her by her

late uncle when she was a pre-teen being groomed for her maiden

appearance before the elders at the Aurobindo ashram. An empty

vessel, really; it's not she but the Power she channels that's the

real thing. If you're open to it the Power will change you more than

you can imagine, or even want. At least those are my conclusions

after being " with " her for nearly twelve years.

An nobody here will dispute your conclusion. We are not here to say

who is right or wrong.

 

Isnt this the same effect most of us have of our guru? How else can

it be any different. What do you think the guru transmit to the

sishya? Wouldnt this be the same for Amritanandamayi? She never

considers herself as a guru, but its others who flock to her. What

do you think brings those people to her if not because of the power

she channel to all? How can Mother Meera be any different?

 

I think if you do not want to consider her as a guru, its okay but I

think let others decide for themselves. If they would like to

consider her as a guru, she will be their guru. Please do not do

otherwise. That is my opinion.

John Thomas made very perceptive comments. Always you find divinity among the

mundane. Mother Meera is a Channel for communion with Divine and should be

recognised as such. There should be no confusion. I hope her simplicity and

innocence will be preserved. This the nature of true Divinity.

........... another, I think we should stop bickering weather she is

a guru or not a guru, or an empty vessel or some channel that the

power flows etc... She is there in USA, for goodness sake, if you

have this sudden urge to see her and get her blessing, just go!

Greetings to all:

 

Regarding the discussion of Mother Meera:

 

*** John Thomas wrote: The important thing to remember is that she's

flows through her ... An empty vessel, really; it's not she but the

Power she channels that's the real thing. If you're open to it the

Interesting view. My first association with Meera also dates back 12

or 13 years; that's interesting too. Meera's " handlers " always (or

always used too; I am not sure what these new Mother Meera Ashrams

are all about) go out of their way to clarify that she is not a guru.

Broadly speaking I agree she is not a " Guru " in the normally accepted

sense of the word (though the definition of " guru " is something that

informed persons can disagree upon). Still, comparing her to

an " empty vessel " gives her rather less credit than is warranted!

 

I view Meera (somewhat like Ammachi, Karunamayi, Sai Baba and others)

as standing in the long tradition of Hindu saints -- in the sense

that most people don't approach them for teachings, per se, but

simply for their proximity or darshan. Like the Sun, these people

flood light upon all in their presence, and raise everyone around

them by their reflected glow. As you note, John, depending upon our

openness or lack of psychological resistance, the amount of " light "

(or Power) we receive can be almost negligible or utterly life-

changing.

Certainly, Meera's background is " mundane " in a sense. I believe she

was " discovered " as a teen-age housemaid in a wealthy home, when she

used to have epilepsy-like blackouts from which she's awaken speaking

of various prophecies and visions. The way her gift was

subsequently " packaged " and " marketed " might be objected to, but

frankly no one short of an entrepreneurial talent would have sufficed

to extend her reputation beyond her village or region.

 

Again, though, calling her a " Channel " -- even with a capital C -- is

not much different from calling her a " vessel, " in that it diminishes

the fact that she is also a person, a fully-realized human being with

an extraordinary gift to share with us. That is why I prefer to call

her a saint. All these 30 years later, Meera's " simplicity and

innocence, " as you say, appear to be fully intact. Neither you not I

nor anyone can diminish what Devi has given her; we can only, by

blocking it, diminish ourselves.

All is primordially merely the rishi

Itself

Nothing more

All is a play of mirrors

Tilted one way or another

Some are clouded

But some are highly polished and bright and pointed

Right at the rishi

Herself

Not to " bicker " with you, but let me reply only to clarify

the statement that you disagree with.

 

The view manifesting through my particular mind is that we're *all*

empty vessels animated by the energy of Shakti the Divine Mother.

Shakti creates all, animates all, and acts in the world through Her

many vessels in accordance with Her Divine Lila in ways that our very

small minds cannot comprehend. Some She makes fools, others gurus,

others thinkers, others warriors, others agents of destruction, others

peace bringers; and a very few others vessels through whom she reveals

Herself directly and immediately. My experience with Mother Meera

leads me to conclude that she is this latter kind of vessel.

 

I don't claim for a moment that I am " right; " only that this is the

concept that Shakti has manifested through me in response to the

experiences she has given me for her own purposes. All other points

of view about her are equally valid because they are all equally Her

manifestations.

 

Namaste to all who know they are She.

 

-Jai

All our " doing " is an illusion. Shakti is and does everything.

 

Shakti does or does not empty and clean Her vessels depending on their

part in Her unknowable purpose. Nothing is tainted because

everything - vessel, milk, residual, taint - is Shakti and has its

place in Shakti's lila. This is the understanding of tantra that

Shakti has given me.

 

Shakti has given you a different understanding than mine in accordance

with her purpose. But accept the fact that neither you nor I have the

slightest inkling of that purpose and therefore can not pass judgement

on or prescribe for anyone else's participation in that purpose.

 

For a perspective far greater than that of either of us:

.... but we are the shakti. Before you can worship the DEVI you must

be the DEVI. DEVI you and you are DEVI. That is the basis of Tantra

as I understands it. How can our doing be an illusion. So means

Shakti is illusion?

... and please understanding I am not passing any judgement on you or

anyone. I'm just puzzled as to why you need to even respond to this

message of mine in the first place. I am making a general statement as

I see it. Why this need to justify your understanding of the Shakti?

In a sense all this is sort of bullshit since all is merely Kundalini chit

shakti and nothing and I mean nothing else.

Namaste Gobinder,

 

I have just gotten back. I'm not sure how to express my experience.

 

I think that our experience has a lot to do with what we bring to the

divine.

 

Since I signed up in such a rush, and really was not familiar with

Mother Meera....well, both it is that my experience was untainted by

expectations, and that my experience was entirely colored by my

relationship to myself and the Goddess.

 

I know I need the Mother in my life whether I show up for Her in a

church gymn or spend time in meditation at home.

 

Although most of the people around me seemed content, or peaceful, or

joyful, a volunteer assured me that there was nothing at all unusual

about tears; that the experience will bring up what ever needs to be

brought up.

 

I am impressed with Mother Meera and I'm very grateful that I took

advantage of the opportunity to show up for this. I am grateful to the

first person who mentioned this on this list. I'm grateful that I've

been checking back in more, and I'm grateful that I checked out the

link, and impulsively signed up.

 

I'm just not sure that I've completely processed this experience yet.

 

I will say that I was suprised to see almost no Indian people there.

Maybe it was the location, maybe something I don't know yet, but it

was a very " middle america " kind of crowd.

 

Also, somethings you just cannot read about, you've got to show up.

 

But Devi is everything and everywhere. I'm sure that you can go to Her

directly and she will provide what you need.

 

BTW, I have been to LV twice and both times took the time to visit a

small shrine in the desert north of the city that has a large statue

of the Egyptian Goddess Sekmet. Is it still there?

 

Jai Ma,
