Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Namah Shivaya Robin, I know very little, & whether it would be of natural or man made origin. But, at the R.I. retreat last year, someone distributed a notice that explained how Amma wasn't too interested in having a 50th. birthday celebration, since She is never born & never dies. BUT, She had been interested in Her children gathering to pray for the reduction of suffering from a catastrophe She forsaw taking place in 2005. Amma has said something about how the power of our prayers can be increased when we do it together, as drops of water form a wave. I believe that's the reason last year it was recommended for people chant "Om lokah samastah sukino bhavantu," for 10 minutes simultaneously at 7:00 PST. The practice included lighting a candle & visualizing it as Divine light spreading around the world.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Om Namah Shivaya, brothers and sisters... Swamiji announced on Amma's behalf at the RI Devi Bhava this year that the circumstances predicted for 2005 could be very well mitigated by prayer, japa and sadhana.... that there were clouds passing over the sun, but the clouds could be blown past the sun quicker by God's Grace if we all pray for That. It was also mentioned that at least part of this "dark period" would mainfest itself in our nation's economy. Neither Swamiji nor Amma were anymore specific than that on the matter, really. Amma just encouraged us all to pray and ask for God's grace, and assured us that extra effort in prayer and spiritual practices would have a substantial effect on whatever was to come, and that She didn't want us to be afraid. I believe that Jyotish also tells us that in 2005, the United States is predisposed to economical hard times, and that astrological conditions at that time will be quite similar and/or the same as those immediately prior to the Great Depression of 1929. Anyone have any more astrological information that would help here? Thank you for the posting of Br. Dayamrita's message from the M.A. Center. This child joins with all sisters and brothers in prayer for mitigation of suffering in the world.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Namah Shivaya, I was in Rhode Island both last year and this year. It's funny, I don't remember, at least during the RI Devi Bhava this year, any mention of an economic disaster or anything so specific. It seems everyone remembers it a little bit differently. I remember it something like this: ....Anyway, Devi Puja had just ended and Amma was about to leave the stage to change for Devi Bhava. Then she said something like the following and Big Swami translated it: Many people have been coming to me asking about 2005. People are worried and asking things such as, "Amma, should I sell my stocks, should I buy stocks, should I buy a house", etc., etc. Amma wants to let you know that she had seen dark clouds over the sun, but perhaps these dark clouds can also be good if they turn into rain. If the clouds turn into rain, this will be good. So everyone must pray very hard. Nobody should be afraid. There is nothing to be afraid of. At least during the devi puja I don't have any recollection of Amma or Swamiji mentioning that a great deal of this has been mitigated. I have heard other accounts where Swamiji told this to devotees in Seattle this year. On another Amma some people are saying it concerns the world water supplies. I'm not sure where this speculation has come from. A year ago another scenario was being passed around which was worse than any of these. So what do you guys remember on this...those of you who were in Rhode Island this past year?

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 This child humbly bows and apologizes if he has remembered things inaccurately or reported his remembrances inaccurately. The last thing I would want is to misrepresent anything Amma or Swamiji said. The most important and vivid part of it all for me was Swamiji saying Amma didn't want us to be afraid but to pray. That was really what I got from it. Pranams, satyadev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
