Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 " I notice that everyone who is embraced becomes blissed-out or bursts into tears. Whether chemically induced or not, the passionate emotion she elicits is a poignant reminder of how isolated, emotionally deprived and lonely so many people in the world feel. How desperately in need of a simple hug or stroke many are. It is also a sad indictment of how removed we are from Mother. She explains that hugging is her way of teaching people to feel the power of source." OH! yes I see her last night in KL at the Mines Exhibition Center. And it is indeed a very beautiful experience. A very simple affair yet very powerful. She will only be in KL for 2 days [ 23 & 24 ] after Singapore. Just imagine people from all over the Malay Peninsula come over to KL just to see her. We have to take a number if we want to be hug. And my number is 15601. LOL. That is at 8pm [ Friday night ] when I came over. A friend from Ipoh went there at 6pm [ Friday 23rd ] and his number is 11500 and he only managed to get to see her today [ Saturday 24th at 9.30am] So if my calculation is right, my turn should be today, Saturday by lunch time. Ammachi starts the bhajan from 7 pm onwards and when I went there to fetch my friend she is still hugging. Now this is what I call DIVINE ! No I didn't get the opportunity to be embraced by her, but it didn't matter because I feel that somehow she have already embraced me. Not only those who are embraced burst into tears, some people who just sits there and watch the whole event burst out into tears. I could feel the sense of sadness and yet happy to be there watching her. But family commitments comes first, thus I have to abandon it and went back home.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi Nora! Can you bring your family with you to see Ammachi? I saw lots of families receiving darshan when I met her last year in southern California. I know what you mean that just being there is itself an amazing experience! I am sorry that you did not get your hug, though - when can you see her again? Mary Ann , "N.

But that is his opinion and I understand his reasons. Unless of course we are going somewhere and suddenly meet Ammachi along the way, that is a different issues. LOL. "I am sorry that you did not get your hug, though " Please dont feel sorry for me. Like I have said, I think she have embraced me somehow in her own unique way. One of the main reason I decided to abandone it because I saw several times others place an invalid child, sometimes a badly deformed child, another wheel in a child on a trolley etc and I saw a whole line of people on wheelchair waiting for her. I feel that it is not right for me to be there. They deserve her embrace more than I do. I can always make the trip to kerala, India and have all the time in the world to meet her personally.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Noraji! Om Namah Shivayah! You can have Amma's darshan anytime. Just cry out to Her. I'm glad you feel that you were embraced in Her unique way. Some of my best darshans from Amma have been when She is oceans away! It is very moving to see Her do what She does. Hard to understand without seeing it in the flesh. I have never been able to be in Her physical presence without constant tears flowing... every move She makes just radiates compassion and love.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Almost superhuman, yes. Fortunately for me I did not get the Singapore equivalent of Nora's 15601 number! That would be hell. I went to Ammachi's last Singapore morning darshan on Wednesday 21st, and got into the queue 45 minutes before it was supposed to start. Even then, there were many early birds in line already. 236 was my darshan number. As I later found out, if someone else should come so much as 25 minutes later after me, he or she would get the numbers 600 and onwards. Okay. I confessed I attended Ammachi's darshan more for the curiosity of seeing such a famed personage as her up close, and to experience for myself the supposedly magical effects of her hugs. When my turn came, I braced myself to be as emotionally open as possible. But lo, I did not feel anything special at all when I was embraced. No daze, no tears, no euphoric effects. You could say I was somewhat disappointed. I thought that was the end of that. Interestingly enough, on Friday evening I inexplicably reached out for my copy of the Srimad Bhagavatam and started to read the earliest chapters where Krishna as a baby was tormenting Yashoda with His antics. These early chapters usually held little interest for me because as a committed, unmarried adult I have almost no parental sentiment and think that our planet is already suffering ecologically from too many indiscrimate reproductions by "human-animals". And being in the midst of overplayful children is my idea of hell. This time though, I found myself charmed and cooing indulgently over baby Krishna's pranks. Like a loving mother would. (And I am usually an impatient MAN.) Has this change in heart anything to do with my meeting with Ammachi? Who knows? But I do find it strange that I should be re-reading the early chapters of the S.B. when I should be reading the latter chapters. Let's see how long this motherly "affliction" of mine lasts... Or am I finally becoming a little hare-brained?!! My $0.02 J. , "N. Madasamy" <ashwini_puralasamy> wrote: > " I notice that everyone who is embraced becomes blissed-out or > bursts into tears.

I am told in Singapore, they led the elderly/senior citizens first, followed by all the handicapp, special children then the public. And the VIPS are the last in the line. Is this part of the trend or one of the latest public relation gimmick : The VIPS as seen as the last on the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There weren't too many handicapped visitors or special children during the Wednesday morning darshan, because it seems the final afternoon session was set aside for them. Of the few who came for the morning session, they did not need to join the normal darshan queue. Instead Ammachi's helpers stopped the normal queue intermittently to let these special-needs people have their darshan. No VIPs were seen that morning. Thank goodness:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
