Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Thank you very much Jyotsna for the welcome. I look forward to many discussions/insights from this group! I do have one question for the group, if I may. I have found myself almost constantly thinking about Amma since I had her darshan over a week ago. I find myself reading Amma websites, listening to bhajans, or just staring at her picture. Does this "honeymoon" period happen to others, and if so, does it last a long time? I'd be interested in hearing others' stories. With love, Erica SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Erica, I have been experiencing the same thing for months and I haven't met Amma yet. I check her website daily for updates, read and re-read her teachings on meditation and mantra, and I'm simultaneously reading three books about her. In other words, I can't get enough Amma! It will be interesting to see how I feel when I actually see her in person in Rhode Island after all this build up.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Gabriela, Thank you for sharing this. Indeed I have felt a connection with Amma since meeting one of her disciples several weeks ago. I check her website daily to gaze upon her face and to read her saying. I feel grateful that I have had this experience of increased awareness and sorting-out over the last several weeks, so that I can hopefully be even more present and attuned at the retreat in Rhode Island.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Miranda, I too was experiencing some of it before I met Amma (I was having dreams about her at least once per week for two months before I finally did meet her). It has gotten even more intense now. I feel like a lost lamb searching for her mother. I hope you have a wonderful time in RI!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Salutations to the Amma obsessed:-)! I have known Amma for just three years (in this life time:-), but I know what you are talking about when you say that Amma is so much apart of your thoughts. She pulled me to Her by entering my heart and occupying a prominent place in my thoughts for months before I was able to physically meet Her. She continues to keep this hold on me, though I feel it wane a bit from time to time. Being in Her physical pressence seems to recharge me, and draw me nearer to Her. Needless to say, I do not enjoy the periods when I feel distant from my Divine Mother, and look forward to the time in Her physical presence with great longing. I cherish this longing. Let us all pray to never lose this sweet divine obsession. Jai Ma!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Dear Erica, You're very welcome! My personal experience (in regard to your question) is that one's life is changed forever by meeting Amma. Yes, the honeymoon is intense, but it sort of goes on forever. More and more I see that I have less interest in being with friends who don't want to talk about Amma. Another devotee friend came over last night and we both marvelled about how we don't care to talk unless we can discuss Her. That's not true of every conversation, of course, but it's really what's in our hearts. In Amma's love, Jyotsna --- Erica <sugarandbrine wrote: > Thank you very much Jyotsna for the welcome.

Fourteen years and still counting. She is ever new in my thoughts, as if see Her in my mind's eye always for the first time, and I am forever falling in love with Her all over again. Sometimes She is a tiny black Kali, sometimes radiant white tall and full of grace, sometimes a weeping Madonna, sometimes a sweet village Girl, sometimes so vast the visible universe is just a bit of the embroidery on Her sari. When I tend my woods and pasture it's Her garment I care for and when I hear the night creatures their sounds are the jingling of Her dancing anlkets.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 OM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAHA just a few words in response to your question, well... i cant exactly remember when Mother found me, i think maybe it was thru an article in time magazine 2 years ago...anyway in my experience , no the "honeymoon" period hasent worn off!!!!!!!!and what a blessing!!!!!!! BIG SMILE! the following summer tour i went & was graced with meeting Mother for the first time. i happend to bring some friends along( and my 7 year old sun) well to make a short story for a long moment, this one friend went off to italy with an exchange program at our school, when he returned 8 months later & we were having coffee catching up he noticed i had ALOT of things/experiences to share and they all had in one way or another a relation to Mother &/or her teachings:) he asked me, "do you honestly think about Her all the time?" i very naturally said, "well yes, dont you?" my point is, i feel it is Mother showering Her infinite love and grace upon us reminding us we are never alone, she is always with us. JAI MA! in Her grace, we are love, namaste jayashree Ammachi, Erica <sugarandbrine> wrote: > Thank you very much Jyotsna for the welcome.

I've had pictures of saints up in my homes for that long also. It only gets better. I saw Amma for the first time 3 years ago. Last year I experience a miraculous healing of a migraine problem I had suffered with for 14 years. Right after that I put her picture in my car where I can always see her. Each year I have brought new people to see her and no one has complained yet! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
