Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Namaste! to every one. My name is Avinash, I am from Bridgeport, CT. I hail from India. I am Ammachi's devotee since 1997. Is there any Ammachi devotee from CONNECTICUT? I took my freind Chris (who is from Trumbull) to Ammachi's darshan in 2001, since then he is a stounch devotee of Ammachi. This is my first mail.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Namaste. Welcome Avinash! So glad you have joined us! Yes, we try to be a "cybersatsang". Like all groups, we have our weaknesses, our low points, and sometimes, by Amma's grace, some very blissful moments. Looking forward to hearing more about you and Amma. Care to share your story of how you first met Amma?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 This is simply amazing. I had generel perception that there are no Ammachi devotees in Connecticut. An Ammachi Devotee in Milford, thats surprising. I had been to Newyork Satsang since 1999, I personally never met any Ammachi devotee from CT. Intrestingly Milford is very next to Bridgeport, anyhow I should inform my freind Chris(from trumbull) who has the same misconception. Maybe we can hold a satsang in this area in future. Regarding myself, I hail from Hyderabad (south central India). The way I came across to Ammachi is through Sri Ramakrishna Mutt (monastrey). Here is the story, my house is located near the Ramkrishna Mutt in Hyderabad, so I would daily visit this place specially the library. Mt family is very closley connected to ideals of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. I was fond of reading spiritual journals in the library specially Mountain path(RAMANA Maharshi), Hinduism Today(from Kaui,Hawahi), Vedanta kesari, Prabudda Brathi etc. HERE I came across MATRUVANI(of ammachi) in Sept 1997, after reading the monthly news letter i was impressed, but nothing extraordinary. Every month I used to read the journal, I felt there is something in Ammachi. Before that I had a great admiration for ramana maharshi, for me he was all time great person, specially for loosing his body conscious at the age of 16. He was a prefect,practical Advaita represnting the centrel theme of SANATANA DHARMA( your not the body but your Atman). But what to do Mortal frame known as Ramana went back to nature in early 1950's. I was desperate for a person who is alive. Amazingly in Feb 1998,there was a flyer on the table were i used to read( I always used to sit on the same place everyday in the library) informing that Ammachi is visiting HYDERABAD on 26,27,28(if my memory is sharp) of Feb 1998. I went to see Ammachi, there was a huge crowd( unlike United states Darshans in India are usually crowded,with mobs every where) untill i did'nt no that darshan with Ammachi means a hug. When she hugged me it was an incredible experience, all my thoughts subsided. This is what I notice all the time whe she hugs me all my thoughts subside, even if I what to think something I always fail to indige in a thougt. Mind goes into point blank space in one of those moments. Since then I follow her. I had been to Amritapuri twice in late July 1999 and aug 2000. Amritapuri is a tropical paradise, with Arabian sea on one side and backwaters on the other. I had an intresting experience in Amritapuri when I had been there for the first time, I am DEVOTEE OF KALI, I always had a dream to visit Bavatharini temple of Dakshineshwar, calcutta but this never capitalised. Ironically the deity in the main temple of Amritapuri was none other than Bavatharini her self. For me AMMACHI is Kali. People in the world may view her as a guru, but she is something special in India. Its uasually big festival were ever she goes in India. DRASHAN FOR 20,000 people is average in India. I am very fortunate in my life to come across a phenomenon Known as Ammachi. I really welcome discussions, my intrests are sanatana dharma (Hinduism),Advaita(non-duality), Swami Vivekananda(first Hindu monk to visit America),offcourse none other than Ramana Maharshi. I was often disappointed with immaterial articles posted in this group. Anyway Namashivaya! to everyone. AVINASH bridgeport,CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
