Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hello All, Has anyone ever seen Amma, or a picture of Amma, wearing a red headscarf? I know that the point of wearing white is to be pure, but there are colors associated with the chakras, and our senses can distinguish colors. Is it possible that Amma and colors together could be healing and transformative? Mary Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 ONS Amma's love and light are beyond our understanding of colors. A long time ago, while going through intuitive training and doing many readings on many people, it was clear to see that the true nature of the chakras and the colors associated with them were very individual and were dependent on many, many things beyond our current consciousness understanding of this reality. I would say that Amma's level of being encompasses all colors and many that we have not yet seen or know of and that She, either in Her presence or away from Her physically will give us exactly what we need for our healing, even if it is just complete acceptance of our circumstances and peace in our minds and hearts. Some will be able to go through healing of bodily pain, but if not, at least peace through the mind and heart.

Never seen Amma wearing a red headscarf, but have seen pictures of Amma in a red dress, going for a dip in the ashram pool.. how does she manage to swim in that thing?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 White is pretty neutral (sattvic) while Red is stimulating (rajasic). Stimulates the root chakra and Kundalini, activity, even passion/anger and attracts attention. This would only be healing to a Tamasic person, as it takes activity to overcome Tamo Guna, to reach Sattva Guna. I once attended a non-Amma satsang where normally white candles were burned. The person who ran it suddenly felt guided to use red candles. She did it only for a time, thank God, because it completely changed the atmosphere. I've seen Amma in red, but they called her Karunamayi for some reason... Sorry couldn't resist the Amma pun. tom Ammachi , " Mary Ann " <buttercookie61 wrote: > > Hello All, > > Has anyone ever seen Amma, or a picture of Amma, wearing a red > headscarf?

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hm, this is interesting. To see Amma in everything would mean she is also in Tamo Guna, is this true? If so, this would mean loving her there as she is, not trying to change her, or say she needs to further develop. This is where I have trouble with spiritual advisements that don't take into account the wholeness of the picture, that dark and light are part of the same picture, and create our wholeness if we can accept that wholeness with love. Then we grow and change as a matter of course, through the loving acceptance, and guidance toward greater compassion. I think this is Amma's point in giving darshan through hugs. I know the spiritual advice from Amma is not to express that anger, but Amma also says: " ...the anger of a Mahatma has exactly the same depth as the love, compassion and patience that he or she expresses. " If this is true, then Amma can be in anger, too, and even in what others call " sloth.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yes, Amma would be in Tamo Guna, technically. But there's difference between Tamo Guna, classification (the dominant guna), and what's good during the sadhana years. Shiva and Kali would be of Tamo Guna. Smoking cigarettes produces a Sattvic Feeling, is caused by Rajo Guna (restlessness, habit), but has a Tamasic effect on the physical body. You should strive for the Sattvic, but as the B.Gita says, " Happiness enslaves the Sattvic " (can't remember the others). So, in the beginning, you need Rajas to overcome Tamas to reach Sattva, but ultimately the goal is equanimity. tom Ammachi , " Mary Ann " <buttercookie61 wrote: > > Hm, this is interesting.
