shiva bakta

my first darshan with amma was during a devi bhava, at the san ramon

ashram. i watched for several hours, into the wee hours of the

morning, not thinking i would go for the hug. at maybe 5 am i decided to go

for it. i can't say that i specifically remember the darshan so

much, but directly afterward went to the side of the stage and watched amma

for about 15 minutes with a slowly growing sense of wonder

and awe as i saw her more closely. it began to dawn on me that i was

watching the goddess incarnate, showering her love upon the world

and just burst into tears. i somehow made my way outside and just sobbed

uncontrollably for about 45 minutes, not quite sure why the

floodgates of my emotions had been triggered so completely.

i did a retreat the following fall, which began the internalized

relationship that i share with amma; as illogical as it seems, knowing that

she has millions of people that she connects with all the time, i feel that

amma is inside of me, guiding me with my every decision. i turn

to her as a source of internal support and although i only get to see her

twice a year, i feel that she lives inside of me.

that is one devotees story. hope it helps.

hi Marcia... if you would like to, read my introducion message (#5507). it's my

best attempt to put into words what my experience meeting AMMA was like. as

a shy and self-concious person, i didn't think i would be able to be hugged in

front of hundreds of people, but when AMMA arrived, i suddenly felt

something very blissful come over me. i couldn't stop staring at HER. my eyes

became teary with emotion and soon my self- conciousness disappeared as i

got in line for a hug. as i've described in my intro letter, i felt like i was

melting

as SHE held my head to HER body and whispered to me. after the hug, as

SHE was giving me a rose petal and a piece of chocolate, i looked into HER

beautiful, smiling face, and felt like i could just float away. this is as close

as i

can get to describing an experience that i consider undescrible.
