Namaskaram!

 

This was message that I had posted on several groups. Just to give a

little background, I have heard from several knowledgeable people

that to have access to a low level spirit would take some years of

tantric sadhana; to have access to a yogini type of a being would

take some 10's of years; but to be able to order a yogini around,

only the Divine Mother can do it.

 

I kept wondering, does Amma know any advanced sadhanas? Probably not,

thats why she sticks to all these bhajans and seva(LOL). At the

Seattle devi bhava, I noticed that she gives initiation in a powerful

variant of the Bala mantra; when I had these thoughts in mind, thats

when this story hit me in the face.

Namaste!

 

At the recent Ammachi(www.ammachi.org) retreat at San Jose, I heard

an interesting story by Swami Poornaamritananda; I am recounting in

the first person

 

"Usually people do not have memories of their childhood less than 5

years but I recall somethings right from when I was 2 years old- but

the only things I can remember are a series of particular incidents-

whenever I was left alone by my parents, a divine being would appear

before me and pat me and fondle me- this being was attired in silken

clothes and gold ornaments; whenever this devaata patted me, I would

cry out loudly and my parents would rush to me on hearing my wailing;

at which the devata would disappear."

 

"This went on for a few months and so my parents decided to consult

an astrologer- the astrologer saw that a divine being was coming down

to visit me and but also said that this being was protecting me and

did not mean any harm; further the priest of the famous Ettumanur

temple(a famous temple in Kerala) gave a bracelet to wear for

protection; and after wearing the bracelet, the devata came no more."

 

"When I turned 14 I again had a visitation from the devata; because

of this incident, I was intensly studying all occult things; and this

led me to Amma. Meanwhile this devata was troubling me a lot."

 

"While residing at Amma's ashram, I saw this being again and this

time I felt totally helpless before this devata as i became totally

immobile; this immobility lasted sometime, so decided to do something

about it. I talked to amma about this and suddenly Amma gave a wild

laugh and told me that this being was sent by amma to keep an eye on

me for 'advance booking' and so this devata was protecting me at

amma's order; and amma then told me that this devata will not trouble

me anymore; that ended the visits from this devata."

 

Swamiji concluded by saying that in the LS, the Divine Mother is

called chatu-shasti kodi yogini gaana sevitah- she who is served by

64 crores of yoginis and one such yogini was keeping guard over him.

 

Swamiji also told a story of how amma gave him the gift of samadhi on

his birthday by touching the spot between the eyebrows- thats another

story.......
