Amma Story Summer 2003 continued

[Guest guest]

In New York, I almost ran over Amma, again. The other

time was in the airport at Ann Arbor last year when

she disappeared and reappeared directly in front of

me.

 

Anyway, I was helping Prema decorate the stage area

for the program. We finished the decoration and I was

to then move the little table that holds all the

kisses and petals and apples next to the chair after

Amma finished her meditation.

 

Well, Amma finished and the chair was moved into place

and then I grabbed the table and followed the chair

and placed the table next to it on the stage. Then I

was asking someone who had moved the chair if the

table was in the right place, and then, oops, I took

too long and Amma had swooped down from the uppper

stage onto the floor toward her chair and ended up

directly behind me. Prema was whispering very loudly,

"Supriti, Amma!!!, Supriti AMMA!!!." I was like,

WHAT???...then I heard someone say "SUPRITI, DON"T

MOVE!!!"...luckily I heard that and didn't move.

Otherwise I would have backed up right over Amma, I

think. I was facing away from her so I couldn't see

where she was. I stood still for a moment while she

passed, and then I got the heck out of there, very red

faced and flustered.

 

Then the most incredible thing happened, as I moved

away from the stage area and recovering from my

encounter of being so close to Amma by accident, I had

the sensation of being empty inside, like I was an

empty eggshell and my skin was holding in the sky, I

saw the color blue inside of me like the sky, all my

organs were gone, I felt light as a feather. The

sensation only lasted for about 30 seconds, and what a

lovely feeling it was. It was very blissful. My yoga

teacher says that Amma activated my naval shakra

center. Whatever, it felt sooooo good whatever it

was.

 

I rode in the New York subway and saw the Empire State

Building (where King Kong climbed up in the movies)

and Grand Central Station and Times Square (there they

drop the ball on New Years Eve). I want to go back

there sometime and see more. I didn't make it to the

World Trade Center sight, I was about 7 miles away and

didn't have time to go there.
