Amma Story

[Guest guest]

Saturday, July 07, 2007 In the Joy of others

Jai Amma !

 

Amma came into the hall in Dallas looking beautiful and radiant and full of Her

Supreme Loving energy that is beyond all comprehension as always. The Pada Puja

ceremony was performed and Amma made Her way up on to the stage.

Some local officials came up to greet Amma but this one missed all that because

he was busy running after the Pada Puja water and Sandal Paste and Kum Kum that

had just been offered to Amma. A satsang was given by Bramachari Shantamrita

Chaitanya followed by Amma's Satsang. Then the Bhajans began. And guess what ?

Mata Rani. Amma delighted everyone by singing the new bhajan that puts smiles on

everyones faces and fills their hearts with joy. The best most joyous part was

when Amma would call out, " Mata Rani Ki " and throw Her arms up in the air and

Her children would respond by throwing their arms up in the air too and calling

out " Jai ! " Most of the bhajans, actually I think all except Amma Baramma and Om

Namah Shivaya were all from the new 2007 Bhajan Supplement. I was sure to go to

the Amma Shop after that and get myself a copy. I'm not sure of the name of the

other Bhajan sung that night that had everyone very enhusiastic but I do know

that it went Jai Ma Jai Ma Jai Ma !

 

The second night of the programs was Devi Bhava and Amma wore a beautiful purple

sari and was full of smiles. As I sat on the stage and watched Her I had a most

incredible experience which I pray will be what the future becomes full of. As

Amma hugged all Her children who came up for darshan and smiled at them and

played with them I experienced something totally different from what I had in

the past. Instead of sitting there thinking Amma why won't you look at me, and

look how lucky that person is getting that smile from Amma and all the other

thoughts like those, I felt in my heart that I was all of them or vice versa and

in this state felt so much joy when Amma gave someone a big smile and felt the

joy of their heart. Or when Amma hugged someone for a long time I felt like it

was me and felt the cooling and soothing tenderness that Amma was giving them.

And in feeling it to be my own self who was going up to Amma over and over again

and receiving Her love in all these

different forms so to speak I felt more beauty and wonder than I have ever felt

before. This was one of the most if not the most profound experience that I have

ever received and thank Amma for letting me have the experience of feeling

others joy in my heart, but it was just pure joy, it didn't belong to anyone, or

you could say it was ours, not mine or theirs. I pray that I can do the other

half of what Amma says we should do and feel their pain as our own as well. This

experience has also given me a glimpse into how in selfishness and only being

concerned for ourself we really are keeping ourself from the real joy. It's like

we're eating some gross food as opposed to cucumber raita served right from

Amma's hands. Can you believe it ? It's just like Amma's been telling us. I hope

Amma's smiling at this grand realization and I that by Her grace I will remember

this.

 

Jai Amma !

 

Also during Devi Bhava someone sang Kasturi Tilakam, a great bhajan about how

the beauty of Lord Sri Krishna. As I sat their and looked at Amma in all Her

splendour in Devi Bhava I came up with a new song

 

Amma puts the Kum Kum mark on Her forehead and wears the Gem of Love in Her

Heart

From Amma's nostril shines a beautiful ring and in Her arms are Her children and

malas around Her wrists

 

Love is emanating from Her whole body and there are Rudraksha beads and

beautiful flower garlands around Her neck

 

Victory to that Amma who is surrounded by Her children and is the delight of all

their Hearts

 

Jai Amma!

 

I was also so happy to see a camera attached to the front post during Devi Bhava

videoing Amma and was hoping that all Amma's children at Amritapuri were getting

to watch Her. It makes me so happy to think of all of you at Amritapuri getting

to see Amma even though She is here in America.

 

And as I have always wanted to say. Thankyou so much to Dhyanamrita and

Vishwanath and Piyush and everyone else who has taken the time to post to this

blog and the other blogs so that I as well as all of us can have the joy of

reading about Amma and where She is and what is happening around Her and with

Her. It is trully a great joy for me and I am sure many others who everyday sign

on to the computer and go right to the Amma blogs to see if there are any new

posts.
