Hello

[Guest guest]

Namaste everyone,

 

I can't remember how I got enrolled in this elist but

I am not complaining. If you don't mind me asking who

is Ammachi and what exactly is this all about. I

think that I joined this group orginally for some

information on Hinduism. ~*Shurgs*~ Now I know that

Amma means Mother if I am correct but why is everyone

jumping back and forth. This Ammachi Incarnated?

Ect. Please be patent with me I am just attempting to

learn.

Namaste Kalika,

I don't know for sure If I sent the first email

directly to you or to the list if It was directly to

you thank you for being understanding. I live in

Toronto Ontario, and I went to her web site and she is

not coming anywhere close to me ). I wrote that

email when I was at work, and after reading your

message to me I realize that being part of this list

is one of life's little "coincidence". Though I do

not really believe in that word I believe that

everything happens for a reason. There is a few

questions that I have still on her page it meantioned

that you have to Pick a Guru to pray to and obey. But

in my studies I always thought that when the student

was ready the Guru or Master will appear. Second how

does everyone know that Ammachi is infact an Avatar?

I don't want to sound like I am doubting just

something that I wanted to know. As well in one part

of the web page it talks about how you are one with

God one with Creation. Which is what I have believed

for a long time. Yet it seems to protray that we are

in fact lower the God lower then the Creature which

has always seem to be a problem for me. Every time I

have heard those type of things it actually gets to

me, unless of course I am viberating at a high level

of energy then it will take a lot to bring me down.

As well I have been working at getting past my ego but

I do not seem to be doing it properly. If it is

possible could anyone please explain to me how you

got past the ego.

 

Thank you for your time and understanding

 

Raven

Dear Raven,

you emailed the group I just wrote you back personally but if you are more

comfortable going through the group we can do that.

 

You know Toronto isn't so far from where Amma is now. If Jesus were alive

and in N.Y. or Boston would you go? There is a really sweet group of Amma

devotees in Toronto. I am kind of busy today so I am going to send you a

story that I already had typed for one of Amma's magazine. This story

actually took place before I met Amma. I was only 16. It's a good example

though of how She knows our every thought and prayer. I invited the rest of

you to share your miracle stories with Raven and the rest of us because as

you know, one never tires of hearing of Her sweet bliss and grace! I will

tell you more recent stories when I have more time to type. But in answer to

your other question my more recent stories are still miracle stories but

Amma and I have now a different relationship as it has matured. So my more

recent stories are much more about how She is removing my ego.

 

There is a few questions that I have still on her page it mentioned

that you have to Pick a Guru to pray to and obey.

 

 

You know often this type of thing happens around Amma. It is fortunate and

unfortunate that Her words are written. Fortunate because we will all always

have them and unfortunate because Amma teaches each individual differently

She may say one thing to you and another to me because our situations, our

egos, everything is different about us. I have also heard that She said the

Guru picks you. My advice is don't get caught in the snare of the words go

straight to Her HEART and know Her there. Most of the words written were

written many years ago to teach those who are now Swami's and may not be the

advice She would give householders today.

 

Well Love here's my story:

 

WAS THERE EVER A TIME WHEN AMMA WAS NOT IN OUR LIVES?

By Kalika

Flores

 

My story begins in 1972, when I was 16. My husband (who at that time

was my boyfriend) and I were coming home late from a concert. We lived way

up in the mountains, and it was snowing very hard. The road had at least a

foot of snow on it and we were in a Volkswagen which did not have much

clearance. Since it was late, probably around 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning,

there were no other cars on the road. This was also long before cell phones

and there were no houses in the area. We were truly stranded in the middle

of nowhere. We had another couple with us and the two guys began to bounce

on the back bumper, for more traction, as I attempted to drive the car. It

was clear the car wasn't going anywhere. This is when I became aware of the

seriousness of the situation. I realized that we could actually freeze to

death here. We didn't have anything you should have in your car to be

prepared for a situation like this.

Luckily even though I was your average simi-wild teenager, I had an

ingrained knowingness to sing to God everyday, and to ask Him for what ever

I needed. So that night was no exception. I said a prayer, I said "Please

don't let us freeze to death here."

About 10-15 minutes later a guy and a girl came in a green Toyota

Landcrusier. The guy was yelling out the window "Hey Ham and Eggers." They

helped us to pull our car off the road and took us back to their cabin. We

spent the night and the next morning, had the best whole wheat pancakes for

breakfast. After which they took us back to our car. By this time the plows

had gone by and we were able to drive home. This story was always like one

of those angel stories where we never saw them again even though I always

wanted to thank them.

 

[ [ ]

 

We met Amma in 1990, and in 1991 I gave her my cigarettes (as an added

note I never smoked again, its really the only way to quit for those who are

interested.) That was one of the best darshans, She was so excited, She was

hugging me and kissing me. It was wonderful. In 1992 I was wishing we could

move to Sante Fe so we could go to their satsang. But I really love where I

live so I was torn. Then the idea came to start a satsang in Colorado. I was

secretly hoping when I asked Amma She would get as excited as She did the

last year when I gave her the cigarettes. This was not the case She just

said very matter-of-fact "Yes if you wish."

I told the M.A. Center that Amma had given her blessing for us to start

a satsang group and they sent me a paper on how to run it. We had no

musicians so our bhajans were tapes. We were a small group, but the love and

dedication was great. I no longer felt alone in my love for Mother.

One day I was feeling like the little finger that the hand doesn't know

exists. I was in Denver and I just had this passing thought, I couldn't even

call it a prayer, I thought " Mother please connect us to your inner core

group I don't know how to do it." That night I received a call....the guy

on the other end of the phone said "Hi my name is Mark, I'm from the Sante

Fe satsang group. We are here in Colorado visiting a friend and skiing. We

were wondering if you wanted to get together and play bhajans tomorrow

night?" I said yes, of course, and we set it up for the following night.

The next morning I was meditating and I began to think of these people

who were coming over tonight. Tears began to roll down my cheeks. Were

these tears of gratitude to Amma for answering my thoughts or more? I was

very excited about this night.

Mark had not planned this night so he had left his harmonium in Sante

Fe, but the friend they were staying with had a keyboard. This was so much

nicer then the listening to tapes which is what we were use to doing. The

live music was so wonderful. Mark and his wife Dawn had told us they were

going to India for the first time in December. I so much wanted to go also,

but it was not yet my time.

 

After they left I wrote Mother a thank you letter (which I never

mailed.) I said thank you Mother so much for such a wonder night. And thank

you for letting us meet Mark and Dawn. The music was so wonderful, but

now..... (there's always another desire) we need a harmonium so we can have

live music at satsang.

Mark and Dawn called after they returned from India. Mark said that he

had bought a harmonium. He went on to explain that the first time Amma had

come there was a mix up with the harmoniums and the one Amma and the Swami's

had brought had been left behind. He said that Amritapriya loaned it to him

to learn on and since he had bought one he would check with her and see if

it would be okay for me to borrow. Amritapriya graciously consented to

loaning it to me so we planned a trip to Sante Fe.

We stayed with Mark and Dawn on this trip. Dawn and I were sitting at

the breakfast table enjoying scones, when she told me she use to live in

Colorado. This has never happened to me before or since, but as she was

talking I saw the main street of Evergreen in front of her face. Evergreen

is a little town close to the one I live in. I thought... Evergreen I wonder

if I knew her, she seems so familiar. Just after thinking this, that night

20 years ago that we were stranded in the snow flashed in my mind. I think

that girls name was Dawn. While all of this was happening in my mind I

realized that I was spacing out and when I came back to physical reality

Dawn was talking about the winding roads of Connecticut I thought to myself

she said Connecticut not Colorado. So I left it alone. But the thought kept

nagging me, so finally we were standing on their doorstep ready to go back

to Colorado and I asked her "Did you say you use to live in Colorado?"

She said "Yes."

I asked her "What part of Colorado?"

She said "Idledale"

This is a little town just outside Evergreen so I got brave enough to

go on.

I said " I think we spent the night at your house 20 years ago."

Then my husband said "Do you know the Ham and Egger?"

And Dawn said "That's my brother!"

He use to use this term a lot because of a Ham and Egger restaurant he

would go to. The two of them lived together in the cabin in Idledale.

I will leave it up to each reader to answer my question in their own

way.

Was Mother the God I prayed to?

And Dawn the devotee She sent, long before either one of us had ever heard

of Her. I would also like to add.....since I was 16, Amma was only 18

years old.
