Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Sometimes I feel as I work on Circle of Love Inside as though I am pushing a huge boulder uphill all by myself. For the past 6 months I have been trying to give away some duties and get a team of people pushing the boulder. There is a team now consisting of Eric in Chicago, Sweda in Minneapolis, Sherry here in Fremont, Ann Smith in Albuquerque, Hari in New York, Ravi in Atlanta, the New England Satsang, the San Diego Satsang, and the Minneapolis satsang. Now I must quit pushing the boulder uphill and take care of my health. So the next step will either be to make the boulder smaller, realize that there never was a boulder, or come to see hundreds of helpers inspired by Amma who are doing effective transformative tasks as part of Amma's Prison Outreach. That last is maybe an " All or the above " item. In that light, rejoice with me about this news. On Mahashivaratri, Leena St. Michaels and another IAM instructor taught IAM meditation in the maximum security area at Santa Rita Jail for the first time. They are part of a team of IAM instructors who will return to the prison on a regular basis to offer continuing classes in IAM. The Santa Rita ail is a county facility in Plesanton, CA within a short drive from the MA Center. As the story was told to me, the local coordinator of IAM at the MA Center planned tentatively to have IAM taught for the first time in April. The prison insisted that it be done March 5, which we know as Mahashivaratri. This sounds like Amma's scheduling to me. Since I love Lord Shiva, anyway, it surely was a way to send me a clear message that Amma is still very much here at the heart of her Prison Outreach. One of Amma's names in the 100 names is Shiva-Shakti-aikya or Shivashaktyaikya -- she who is the oneness between Shiva and the Goddess (Shakti). This is not the first time that IAM has been taught in an adult prison; it's just almost the first time. Letter writer Solana Walters taught IAM once at the California State prison in Vacaville. That was the very first time. Jai Ma! Aikya Param, Circle of Love Inside circle.of.love.inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 a couple of years ago while in the darshan line,a devotee asked AMMA to bless his life so that he could be more effective in bringing those that have suffered on the streets as he had to recieve HER priceless darshan.AMMAs response was " your innocent desire will happen in time " .after that ,this same devotee ran around the the temple in san ramon like he had just been given the most precious gift ever!he went to everyone he could asking them to help him bring homeless people and others that had suffered ,or who were currently suffering on the city streets of the U.S to AMMMAs arms.he began making phone calls to homeless shelters,youth centers etc.inviting them to meet the greatest humanitarian that has ever walked this earth. he immediately contacted sw.dayamrita(the head of the MA center in n.america)will full confidence that he would give him the full support of AMMAs org.for after all, SHE had blessed this seva with HER VERY OWN MOUTH.he partnered with other devotees who hearts were willing to help.by the next time that AMMA came to san ramon ashram to give hugs,over twenty homeless people were brought to AMMAs arms. .he and another devotee went raw to the streets of oakland and picked up homeless elders right of the streets.we gave them a tour of the ashram and told them that it was their home.we sacrificed our hotel rooms so that some of the homeless people could have a comfortable nights sleep, " at least for one day " as AMMA put's it.one lady said that she had not slept on a bed that comfortable in years.they all were so greatful.AMMA recieved them all.dirty close and all.you can google ,INNOCENT DESIRE and read the article that was written about it on AMMAs website. now when we go to the shelter ,to pick AMMAs darling children up,they are waiting for us to come.some of the people have claimed san ramon ashram as their home, " at least for one day " .after this AMMA spoke to this devotees heart and told him to specifically reach out to women who had suffered on the streets of chicago.this is where this devotees ghetto slum days all began.after making many phone calls,he connected with SISTER HOUSE ,program shelter .he stepped out on faith ,not knowing where the money would come from and invited SISTER HOUSE to not only come see AMMA at the marriots hotel,but to also stay in the hotel overnight and enjoy the swimming pool and all of the other hotel benefits.last july this vision manifested and SISTER HOUSE has now been adopted by this service.their was also a article written about this. as a follow up and in honor of AMMAs birthday ,SISTER HOUSE was also brought from chicago to fairfield iowa on a two day camping trip.they went to AMMAs birthday celebration and greatfully cleaned up the church after it was over.they also recieved a tour of an eco-village and also got their hands dirty planting and picking organic potatoes.we have a picture of twelve greatful ex-prostitutes,convicts and homeless women sitting around AMMAs alter on AMMAs day of incarnation(birthday).i can forward you the pictures if you like.we also have pictures of the camping trip.most of these women had never been off of their blocks. this year ,through HER GRACE alone ,in april, this devotee is fliying from iowa to LA to meet with a womens program shelter on skid row. a devotee who lives in LA got inpired by the seva and wanted to do it in LA.she has donated a thousand dollors to put them up in the hotel that AMMA stays in .this is what we hope will happen in all of AMMAs major tour stops.not just that people give donations, but like this women ,they share their INNOCENT DESIRE to serve the less fortunate ,by giving them the greatest gift ever given to humanity,AMMAs hug. AMMA has a dream that has been made into a song that " at least for one day " ,everyone in the world,sleep without fear,eat to their fill and not experience any violence " .SHE goes on to say that all people young and old should serve the poor and needy. " at least for one day " . what better way to do this then to bring the homeless to the arms of AMMA and put them up in the hotel that SHE is giving darshan in.it is only a start,but it all must begin with something.why not with an INNOCENT DESIRE! AMMA has told me twice that SHE will build homes for homeless people in n.america.when i went to talk to HER about this again,AMMA told me that SHE still was working on the TSUNAMI situation and something as important as a project of this magnitude must have HER attention.SHE told me HER plan to do this spontaneously out the blue.i did not ask HER about it at all,except through devotional tears.i repeat!i did not ask AMMA about this at all.in fact,i asked HER something on an entire different topic.AMMA ignored my question and chose to share with me a glimpse of HER COMPASSION. AMMA will do this!HER WORDS are not just any words.HER words must manifest!this is my PERFECT FAITH!love you..............beloved children of AMMA............................. .....
