Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 I have a funny story about ammachi that involves my father: My dad has been going to see amma for a few years now and the last four or five times when he has gone up for darshan, mother has whispered in his ear "my daughter, my daughter, my daughter" My father was not sure exactly what to think of this and inquired to many people about what this might mean. He thought that possibly he was hearing her wrong or he even jokingly said that amma was trying to tell him something After this happened the first or second time, when my father when up for darshan he purposly listened very carefully to what she said to him. She continued to repeat "my daughter, my daughter" in his ear. Well, me and my family and friends found this extremely amusing, but after awhile my father was getting quite perplexed as to why this was occuring. During one program, my father had gone up the first night for darshan and once again amma repeated these words in his ear. My father had become quite confused and spoke to us that evening quite a bit about ammas words. He was more amused by this than anything else, but I could see that the mystery of her words was confusing him. So, on the final night he went up for darshan with this confusion on his mind. He approached amma, and she gave him one of her phenomenal hugs and once again began to repeat "my daughter, my daughter" in his ear. Suddenly, mother pulled my father away from her so they were looking at each other, gave him a smile so broad and beautiful that it remains indescribable, and said, quite distinctly "MY SON!". After saying this, amma pulled my father back into her arms and hugged him tightly. My father was dumbfounded, and afterwards could only smile broadly with tears in his eyes as he told us about what had just occurred. Afterwards, we learned of another gentleman who had had a similar experience with mother. Apparently she had whispered the same thing in his ear, so during one program he had put on a sari and worn it up for darshan. Mother, of course, was delighted by the act, and laughed quite hard when he arrived in her lap. forever in Her embrace, Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go see Amma in Michigan next week I'm going to ask one of the Swamis what it means. Well here we go, one more week until Amma is in Detroit!!!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by since the summer tour. I'm so excited to see our most beloved Amma again, I miss Her so much:~) In Amma's Love Jon Om Amriteswaryai Namaha Ammachi, Sara Snow Bliffert <sarasnow@e...> wrote: > I have a funny story about ammachi that involves my father: > > My dad has been going to see amma for a few years now and the last four > or five times when he has gone up for darshan, mother has whispered in > his ear "my daughter, my daughter, my daughter" > > My father was not sure exactly what to think of this and inquired to > many people about what this might mean.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Someone wrote (perhaps on this list?) that Amma often chants "madottah, madottah..." Does anyone know what this might mean in Sanskrit or Malayalam? -- Len/ Kalipadma On Tue, 5 Nov 2002 07:09:56 -0500 Sara Snow Bliffert <sarasnow writes: > I have a funny story about ammachi that involves my father: > > My dad has been going to see amma for a few years now and the last > four > or five times when he has gone up for darshan, mother has whispered > in > his ear "my daughter, my daughter, my daughter" > > My father was not sure exactly what to think of this and inquired to > many people about what this might mean. ______________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 The most common chant I've received from Amma is the sound "Ma" repeated nine times. I get a vivid image of Durga, the many-armed warrior goddess, whose number is nine, when she whispers this. I'm adopted this chant of nine cries of "Mother!" (<Ma>) as my personal invocation of the Goddess. -- Len/ Kalipadma On Wed, 06 Nov 2002 00:19:29 -0000 "Jon" <jon_mohr writes: > > > That's funny because this summer, when ever I recieved darshan, Amma > would whisper "mo,mo,mo,mo" in my ear, which I believe means son, > but then She would also whisper something that sounded like daughter in > my ear also:~) I'm thinking it's another word for son.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 I think Amma's saying "My daughter, my daughter, my daughter".

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Well:-), I don't know what it means for the guys, but for us gals, it means "my daughter." There was great confusion in my mind about this for a long time, as Mother would say everything from "my rutu" to mridutu to "ma dottah" to "my daughter." I was so confused that finally on one darshan she just chanted all of them, started with the (dreaded because I thought it meant something bad) "my rutu" and gradually changing it with each pronunciation until it was finally "My Daughter!" Then she gave me a final "Ha!" and fierce look. That Kali.
