Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Brothers and Sisters, The excerpt from Ellen Lamb's diary was great. Thanks Ellen. I just want to point out one detail that wasn't explained properly to those who perhaps are not familiar with what used to take place. Mother would keep a pile of tiny pebbles next to Her during meditation. Because, as Mother has explained it, our minds have their existence within Her Mind, she knows at every moment what is going on in the mind of each person (wherever we may be). And so, whenever one of us would lose concentration during meditation – plippppp! – a dear little pebble would come flying through the air and hit that person, just to remind him or her to concentrate. I have experienced this myself – that at the very moment when I have lost my concentration, one of those utterly precious, sacred pebbles – a nugget of Grace – has come flying through the air as a sweet reminder. And so, it should be noted that Mother threw tiny pebbles, not ROCKS, at people! LOL!! Someone wrote: >>Lord Shiva, Father of Ammachi…<< I would have thought it was the other way around: Amma, Mother of Lord Shiva! Prasida (Carla) wrote: >>I mean Sri Haidakan Babaji, Guru of Lahiri Mahasaya, who is the Guru of Sri Yukteshwar, who is the Guru of Paramahansa Yogananda.<< This is incorrect. Prasida, I have, unfortunately, heard that one before, and just want you to know that you have been misinformed. Haidakan Babaji, who some may call guru, is certainly not what Mother refers to in many of Her books as a Mahatma or a Satguru. He died several years ago with not that much of a legacy and has nothing whatsoever to do with the great Mahamuni Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya's guru and Yogananda's Rootguru. The real Babaji still lives in the Himalayas with a small circle of carefully chosen disciples, and is very rarely seen. He was born hundreds of years ago (he is said to have been Kabir's guru) and has never left his body, but keeps rejuvenating it through special siddhis and thus remains ever young (His biological sister, Mataji, is also still around, hidden away in a cave, in a constant state of meditation for the good of the world). Babaji continues to live on; it is his particular role – just as our Beloved Mother has an absolutely unique role to fulfill for the uplift of the world. If you have any doubts regarding my statement about Haidakan Babaji having nothing to do with the real Babaji, I suggest you contact Paramahamsa Yogananda's Self Realization Fellowship, as they will confirm what I have written here. The two organizations, SRF and Kriyananda's Ananda ashram, who are the direct spiritual descendants of the great Babaji, are very upset about the false comparison between the Mahatma Babaji and Haidakan. Also, I was quite amazed to read Maharishi's recent words: >>"If I had the support of money, I have all that is needed to completely stop all this violence." << As if world peace could be bought! Why doesn't he spend that billion on houses for the homeless instead! If those 40,000 really are yogis, what need have they of billion-dollar housing? This is the unique beauty of our Beloved Mother. She knows that Love Alone will do. Could you see Mother spending a billion dollars on building houses for her children to meditate in!! She'd spend that money on the poor and the suffering! Aikya, that's so beautiful and inspiring. Om Namah Shivaya Her Gabriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
