"Read the Language of Her Eyes": Darshan in Mumbai

 

Bharata Yatra 2004

 

Wednesday, 3 March 2004 – Mumbai, Maharashtra

 

"I pray to Amma to bless the people of Mumbai," said Smt.

Jayawantiben Mehta, the Honourable Minister of Power, to Amma and

the some 30,000 people who had gathered in Prabhadevi Mumbai for

Amma's darshan. "Everyone becomes a child in the presence of Amma.

Just as we receive amrita [nectar] from the various forms of the

Mother, we receive blessings from the Divine Mother. Amma blesses

everyone. There is compassion in Her eyes. Amma's love is not

confined to humanity alone, it encompasses plants and animals as

well. ...

 

 

Then Smt. Jayawantiben Mehta said how the program grounds were near

the Siddhi Vinayak Temple and recalled a Puranic story wherein Lord

Vinayak (Ganesh) won a race around the universe by simply

circumambulating his mother, the Divine Mother, and thus received

Her boon. Similarly, the Honourable Minister said, when we pray and

pay our respects to Amma, we feel fulfilled.

 

"Amma alone can bring peace to the world. There is no need to

understand languages like Hindi and Malayalam," she continued. "You

only need to read the language of Her eyes, Her love. Amma is the

messenger of world peace. Just as the river flows, Amma's river of

love just flows. We just have to follow it."

 

 

Other dignitaries on the dais included, Shri. Rajesh Tope, the

Honourable Minister of State for Social Justice; Shri. Sanjay

Deshmukh, Honourable Minister of State for Youth Welfare and Sports;

Shri. Suresh Shetty, Honourable Minister of State for Education of

Medicine; Shri. Rajindra Shingane, Honourable Minister of State for

Education; Shri. Jaganmath Hegde, the Honourable Sheriff of Mumbai;

Shri. Jackie Shroff, film actor; Shri. Sunil Dutt, film actor and

M.P.; and Smt. Thackeray, renowned social activists. These were just

a few of the many prominent industrialists, politicians, artists,

cultural and social workers and educationalists who participated in

Amma's satsang, bhajan and darshan.

 

The program began at 7:00 ended at 9:00 a.m. the next morning.

Thirty thousand darshan tokens were distributed.

"Read the Language of Her Eyes"

 

The Minister of Power used beautiful imagery in her talk. Amma's eyes are not

from this world.

 

Also enjoyed the puranic reference to Sri Ganesha circumnambulating His Mother

Parvati. Can one circumnambulate Amma this summer?

 

Thanks for the post.
