Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hello to all. I watched 20/20 the other night and saw the segment about Amma. I was powerfully moved by it. My background is Catholic and I have always felt touched by the Mother of God. I am not sure why Amma moves me so much, but perhaps it is because she is the manifestation of the Mother of All? I studied Hinduism in college and have a fairly good background understanding. As I get older, I feel more and more in tune with what Amma is teaching. I welcome any help on this new path. I live in Maine, have 6 children (3 grown) and teach music privately. I am 55 in June. Mary E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Welcome to the group! While some on this list have conflicting attitudes and ideas at time, you'll find that this listing is like a big Amma family. =) Don't be afraid to ask questions, share experiences, or ask for prayers and such in times of need. We all seem to be here for the good and the bad, just as Amma undoubtedly wound want us to be. Jai Ma! -Katie ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks, Mary Ann, Kate and all- I see that Amma has so many interesting things on her website. I wanted to buy " Messages from Amma " at Borders, but they were out. Can you suggest anything from her website that would be a good general overview of her teachings? I also wanted to buy a CD of Bhajans. I really know nothing, other than this woman has reached out and grabbed my heart for some reason.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 -- I teach music at my home in Standish, and will be teaching right down the street at Schoolhouse Arts Center (theatre arts, crafts, sewing).

If you're up for a little travelling, she'll be in the US for a couple of months. Many of us travel to see her. I live in Iowa and even though she comes here, we've gone to Boston and Toronto the past few years. Also San Ramon, California and Santa Fe, NM in other years. Some people do the whole tour.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hello Mary! It's great to hear how this story on 20/20 reached others. Welcome to our group! I was also raised Catholic and like so many of us Catholics... a seeker. Quite unexpectedly, Amma strengthened my faith through direct experiences that have been full of her divine nature. Though I do not really practice any set religion now, peple of all faiths and backgrounds are drawn to her-including priests and nuns. Amma brings many different things to different people. Most of all, find a way to be in her presence this summer since she is not always accessible to us. And be with her as often and long as you can. Thanks for sharing with us. We are so happy to have you join with us. in Amma, adriane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thank you adriane-I am very bummed that I have to work when she is going to be in Boston. However, I am reminded of the words of Jesus to Thomas " Blessed are you who have seen and believed, but blessed are those also who have NOT seen and yet believe " . I believe in what and who Amma is, although I may not get a chance to see her right away. She has already affected me even from this great distance.

And if you've got your passport to enter the Great White North, can line up a ride, or don't mind forking over the insane cost of gas (I'm betting on $4.00 US a gallon/$1.25 CDN a litre by July!).. the Toronto retreat is also over a weekend. and of course there are always the standard bovine feces excuses you can trot out if you need to book a few days off work to go see Amma: death in family, jury duty, Asian flu, injury caused by falling off bike... i've actually used that last one, though I haven't ridden a bicycle since the summer between 8th and 9th grade!

I don't think it sets a very good example to encourage her to lie, but hopefully she's mature enough to realize that not all Amma people are like that.
