Old Devi Puja and Bhava video found/ on YT - 2 events, 7 vids

[Guest guest]

Call it sheer grace or dumb luck. I was taking a break from the

Swami tape conversions and perusing my collection of old videos.

Turns out I had a copy of the old Devi Bhava footage, but since mine's

a copy, the special VCR I have wasn't able to correct the shakes.

 

Plus, I had to increase the brightness significantly just to see

anything at all. Add in YT's compression and things aren't that

clear. The copy i have wasn't very clear to begin with. The quality

is inconsistent throughout the footage.

 

I left out about 10-15 minutes of Amma just standing there to the

music, as it was at the end and Swamiji was chanting a really boring

song. This was obviously pre-Amma Amma Taye tradition days, and pre-

" cycling of the crowd " for flowers. This is back when they actually

had oil lamps for the Devi Puja, and when they used the seed mantras

(ie Om Sreem Hreem Paraa Saktyai Namaha). On the last vid (7/7) you

can see Amma doing puja to the seat and crown to invoke the goddess.

 

Still, there's footage of apparently 2 separate Devi Puja's/Devi

Bhava's. A couple of the vids are short. The second set is most

likely Barbara C's house, but could've been Kit's farm. Someone from

back then would need to tell us. One devotee had told me that Amma's

first stop to the DC area back then was indeed at a Baltimore location.

 

At least the audio is clear.

 

I'll try to get the tape I made my copy from before making the DVD's,

so that hopefully it'll turn out a little clearer. I separated the

puja vids from the Bhava vids for when Amma's Legal Eagles tell me to

take them down. So get'em while they're hot.

Tom,

 

Thanks so much for all of the great work you are

doing. I went into your archive and had a chance to

view some of the material on St. Terese as well as the

St. Luke's production company. It seems you are

following their " greater vision " and mission statement

by sharing with others your love and inspiration in

the divine.

 

Love and Peace,

Stacee
