More Thoughts Amma's mission in Trivandrum

[Guest guest]

Dear Sasha,

 

Are you going straight from the airport to the

programs? Amma's temple in Trivandrum is set

on this little lane that branches off a main road.

All the houses on this lane leading up to Amma's

temple are owned by (wealthy) Amma devotees

and the westerners are usually assigned (by Jani)

to stay at one of these lovely homes. If you could

notify the ashram before you arrive that you will

need accomodation, perhaps Jani will reserve you

a room on site. It would be a hassle to stay off-

site. I'm sure if you contact Dayamrita Swami at

San Ramon he could get you further (better)

information. I was blessed to attend the Trivandrum

program two years ago and consider it one of the

highlights of my life. The house closest to the

temple belongs to Amma's brother, whose name right

now escapes me. The night Amma arrives they fed all

the western devotees dinner. After I finished my

meal, my roomate asked me how it was. I sincerely

told her it was the best meal I ever had in my life.

This retired, well-travelled friend looked at me

and said, "You don't really mean that, do you?" since

most westerners of our vintage have eaten some fine

meals along the way. I said, "Yes, I do mean that."

Later, after she'd had her meal, she came to me and

said, "I see what you mean. It was the best meal I

ever had in my life." Of course it was the love in

the food, as well as the cooking, that made it so

fabulous. Now we know that you're not going to

India for the food, but I just tell that as an

illustration of the magic quality of life around

Amma on the tour. Also, when Amma arrives (finally!)

in her car, all the devotees stand on the sides of

the drive, as the car oh-so-slowly carries Amma

forward. Looking into the car's window and having

Amma look back into your eyes is also another

unforgettable experience. So I encourage you to

attend the Trivandrum programs, but also to do

your "homework" and contact both Amritapuri and

Br. Dayamrita to see if they have any suggestions.

Also, always carry a photo of Amma with you so you

can use that to indicate where you want to go in

case you lose the Malayalam script with the address

on it. Good luck and God bless!
