Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Dear Stacy, Please read what Tom and Anatol speak of below again. We need open discussion about these things and if we are lucky there may be someone from the Ashram who would be willing to speak to all those involved with my situation, as no formal apology was ever offered. This is a serious situation that could have been avoided if Ammachi, her Bramachari's and Swami's were taught respect to others. This is a personal relationship that has had grave consequences to myself and my family much more so then I am sharing here. The people that serve Ammachi should truly want to serve humanity at all times, but the truth is although they wear robes and uniforms, they are as fallible and human as you and I. I did not understand this at the time and kept quiet about the whole thing having faith in both Kamal, Ammachi and whoever else knew about this early on. The fact that it was kept so secreted and coveted allowed things to go extremely out of hand and harm others. This will happen again if we are not open to discussing these things clearly rather then just assuming that it will work out for all involved in the most respectful and safe manner. I say Kamal's name out loud finally as I know this information will get to him and the appropriate authorities and I use my life as an example so others are not overlooked or mistreated. There is no blame on Dayamrita, as he did not know about this until the relationship was over. I have written to Kamal. Swami Ramakrishna, Bhavani and Ammachi about this and how much harm has come of these mistakes. May they never happen again, I do not feel Ammachi's Darshan or touring is worth even one person being mistreated or hurt, but I know many are hurt each year during her tours. There is no room for a Spiritual Teacher and her servants to make mistakes that will harm peoples lives forever. I have just read of a fourth occasion where Ammachi has asked a person to divorce a spouse who is not a devotee. Why is this happening? As I know there are marriages where one spouse is not a devotee but they are strong enough to work things out. I know other spiritual teachers would not advice this way. Stacee Tom, I agree it would have been wonderful if what you suggested below happened. But it didn't because of _____ ? Now, what ??? Amma Bless, amarnath Ammachi , " bluepearllight " <bluepearllight wrote: Tom, I agree with all of my heart, let this never happen again to anyone. Stacee > > ... If I had been in Dayamrita's shoes, I would've acted a little more on your behalf, telling a " brother " to get his sh** together. I'm glad he tried to help, but I wonder if he could've done more. Anyone in robes that knew about the situation should've told Amma about it, and talked to both of you about it and the possible consequences.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 That term is not a mature approach to a dangerous situation that needs to be addressed. It does not seem you are reading what has happened, but lumping things all together and judging. I do not feel Amma herself would see it this way nor any organization that holds monthly gatherings to make sure things are running smoothly. If we did not discuss these problems and hazards they would be left alone, only to be repeated, all businesses, organizations and institutions are hopefully being run with each person's best interest in mind, and if not then these matters need to be discussed openly. This is being done in an open and loving manner, we are not threatening, or using force here only sharing Adrian. How would a hospital be run appropriately if certain things where to be assumed and never addressed or discussed, that is why all corporations and organizations that I am aware have weekly or monthly departmental meetings? This should not be the exception. ________________________________ n2amma <a1driane Ammachi Mon, January 4, 2010 7:04:13 PM Re: To Stacy, sharing truth to support others- Kamal et al This is not the site to keep bashing AMMA.
