Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hello all, Pranams to every one. Here is a small incident in my life that makes me laugh even now. Once at Brahmastan festival Trivandrum 3 years back, amma gave me a chance to be part with seva at ashram temple premises. At end of the festive days, I got a task of preparing some dhoop inside temple as part of shani pooja. I took one pot from there, some coconut shells and two three cotton threads with oil to get it lit up. I went to backyard of temple and started to prepare it. Time went by , some 1 and half hours gone, I was not still able to burn one shell out of it. By the time Dhyanamrita swamiji came that way, maybe he saw me there sitting alone with the pot all away confused and asked me regarding the situation. The time was so near and shani pooja was going to start only some 1/2 n hour later. Hearing this, he just smiled and looked around and told me, " See there are some burning coals under the vessels where drinking water were prepared " [it was only some 4 or 5 metres away from me], I have not noticed it till and was wasting that much time. He told it and left the place. I felt very bad at that time, because some times I do things without thinking. Amma gave me a good lesson to make me better. I have this as a memorable incident in my life till now, and a good lesson from amma to build me alert to surroundings with every karma taking part from me. Humble pranams at her lotus feets. Ever loving ammas mon sajay Office firewalls, cyber cafes, college labs, don't allow you to download CHAT? Here's a solution! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
