Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thank you, Themba. Here are more victories. An additional devotee has begun serving the homeless, & she did most of the driving to bring 2 van fulls of homeless persons for Amma's darshan in San Ramon. This time, Amma gave a long darshan AND an apple to each person from the Santa Cruz Homeless Services area. Many of these people camp out year round, owning just what lines a tent. As they are so cold in the winter, it's really nice that they can enjoy the love of Amma's warm embrace. Two men stayed close to Amma for a long time, & one edged closer & closer, as others drifted elsewhere. One man had a marked skin condition & initially seemed shy about looking at people. After the longest darshan, he looked absolutely beautiful & the shyness was replaced by a beautiful glow. A man who has joined all of Amma's Your Innocent Desire trips from Santa Cruz said, " Amma is getting into my heart. " And, he wanted to return for Devi Bhava, as did so many others. So many wanted to return for Devi Bhava that devotees gave additional funds to support a 7-passenger van & lots of food. A man whose seen Amma a number of times asked for a mantra. He was obviously falling in love with even Her image on an old photo, on the return trip. He now has a library of Awaken Children volumes, mala beads & a mantra. A woman whose joined many trips has an Amma CD, & they all have Her laminated pic. Someone is donating Amma books, CDs & pictures for Amma's Santa Cruz children. These people come from the darkest corner of Santa Cruz, where things most of us would prefer not to contemplate can be part of their daily existence. A participant said, " You've chosen to bring some really bad people to Amma. " I believe it's Amma who has chosen to bring the souls of many of us to Her, that other Guru's could rightfully figure weren't ready. But, Her infinte Grace is enough for anyone.
