It's so funny you mention this, Nandu.... I remember

having posted not so long ago that during my darshan

in Boston, Amma said what sounded to me like "my

daughter my daughter". Then many of you suggested

alternate translations that all sounded so

beautiful..... "mudkutti" and "my pearl" etc..... yet

the more I sit with this the more I hear Her voice

clearly in my ear saying... "my daughter my daughter".

It was very clear! So much so that at the time I

thought, "Wow! She's calling me Her daughter!" Now,

granted, my hair is a bit long but She who knows All

would know who I am biologically, right? My only

thought would be that, being that I am a gay child of

Amma, and that my partner went for darshan just before

me, that She was identifying me as the "wife" of the

couple, if there could be such a thing. In our

pairing, I've often thought that Scott is the more

"male" of the two of us, at least spiritually

speaking. Bhakti seems to come a little more easily to

me than to him.... he's more the "jnani yoga" type.

I'm the one that's more easily moved to tears of

devotion.... he's more cerebral.

 

In any case, my partner and I did not approach Amma

jointly as a couple for darshan because I honestly did

not know what the "protocol" was for a same-sex

couple. We approached Her as two singles, though

inwardly I knew She would know we were a couple. Was

this maybe her way of saying She knew? She called him

"mone mone".... (which is what She called me two days

prior at the RI Devi Bhava which I went to alone).

 

This devotee of the Divine Mother finds great joy in

being called a "daughter", so I'm not fussing over it,

but somehow the question has been very much with me

since the darshan, and I wanted to share it with my

brothers and sisters.

 

Ahhh, the impenetrable mystery of Mother! JAI MA!!!

 

At Her Feet,

Michael

Om Nama Shivaya Michael- I am a "new" devotee of Mother Amma. I am gay also, and I would very much like to communicate with you.

 

Also At The Divine Mother's Feet,
