RI - Devi Bhava

[Guest guest]

Hello, sisters and brothers in Amma. I had written a

few weeks ago about missing the Rhode Island retreat

due to money scarcity - but then a couple of lovely

people on this list kindly informed me that Devi Bhava

was free and open to the public. Wow! ;-)

 

I had excitedly planned to attend, but I've just

discovered that one of my best friends - who was

diagnosed with MS last year - is planning a belated

birthday party for himself on that same day. It would

have been sooner but one of his friends (whom I knew

casually) just died abruptly of liver disease, hence

he is planning everything on the spur of the moment.

 

Despite some difficulties that we've shared over the

last year or so, I love this person and want to be

with him on his special day. I don't know how long

he'll be with us, and I've been asking Amma for an

answer - should I go to RI or be with Drew? And I

feel that she is telling me to be here with Drew.

 

I really don't want to miss Amma at all. I've never

been to any of her retreats - but she is in my heart,

and I DEFINITELY plan to attend the ENTIRE retreat

next year. The need (not just desire) to be with her

is amazing! And I think she knows what I am going

through...she knows everything, doesn't she? ;-)

 

I also just started a new position at work and am a

little nerve-wracked about it. I'm doing well but

there's a lot of responsibility that always unsettles

me whenever I think about it. So I just pray to Amma

each day that I may do my best for my employer (and

myself) and simply let it be.

 

My gratitude and love to all of you who have written

to me privately about Devi Bhava or about the Amma

doll that I just received the other day (thank you yet

again, Marcia!). I feel exceedingly privileged to

"know" each of you...and I hope to meet you in person

one of these days as well.

Last year I was so excited for Amma to come to NYC to visit. I had lost a baby

and was sad and needed a hug from her badly. My children also wanted to go and

meet her and my husband and a friend of mine had agreed to go with me. A

number of circumstances kept us from going to NYC and I thought I might be able

to drive up to R. I (we live in Connecticut) to see her but it just was not to

be for me last year at all.

 

But I did catch one of the early morning news shows that Amma was on. The kids

and I cuddled on the bed and took our Darshan threw the tv set and I tell you it

was just as wonderful. It was good to as it reminded me that while she

is not always near us who live her in the US she is always in our heart and we

just need to think of her to get our hug.

 

I think it is a wonderful thing for you to be with your friend. Your friend is

blessed to have you in his life and threw you , you are sharing Amma's love with

him. How lucky for both of you.

 

Many Blessing to you.

Dear Shelly,

 

I am in CT as well! Where do you live? I am in Hamden.

 

You are so very right: Amma indeed lives in our hearts, and we can

hug her in a variety of ways - some of which aren't physical!

I'm sorry that you missed her last year (I still haven't met her in

the material world yet) but I think we'll both get our chance in the

near future. Next summer isn't so far away.

 

Drew definitely needs some Mother Love these days. I am happy to

channel it to him.

 

Love and best wishes,

Christine

Hi Christine!

 

We are in Milford. Not to far from you.

 

I am hoping we can go this year. I wanted to go as a full family but my

husband's work is so busy he cannot take the time off. I just might brave it

with all the kids (I have 5) and go up to Adover, MA. Just waiting to see if

we can do it. I keep praying at the last minute my husband will say he can

come with us. We don't share the same path but I want him to meet Amma and

for some reason I want us to go as a family.

 

LIke you said next summer is not to far away either.

 

Namaste,

Shelly

Hi Shelly,

 

I really love Milford and would actually like to move there at some

point over the next couple of years. It's been a longtime dream of

mine to live on the beach.

 

I hope that all of you, including your husband, will get to go this

year - but, if not, everything is still unfolding as it should. You

will have your opportunity to meet her in the outer realms!

 

Love & Light,

Christine

Well I hope your dream comes true. I like Milford alot. Very friendly

community.

 

 

It looks like I might be able to go Anover but without my husband. :0( I am

nervous to go with all 5 children but I am lucky to have great kids so I

think it will be fine. Since we homeschool we are trying to make this an

educational trip as well.

 

Namaste,

Shelly
