Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I don't have an experience with orbs, but I do have another experience of Amma's shakti and photographs that I would like to share. This is not something I've really talked about publicly (and I don't want to go into too much detail), but it was very powerful. In my post asking for help to get to the retreat, I made reference to a crushing loss that my husband and I suffered in the past year. After years of longing for children, you can imagine our delight when I found out that we were pregnant - with twins, no less! - last year....and you can imagine our devastation when we found out, upon ultrasound, that both had died. My husband and I felt moved to do something to remember them, on their due date. At midnight, we lit at 24-hour memorial candle, and offered some prayers. At noon the next day, when I had some time for myself, I chanted archana and some prayers of my own, and offered some flower petals to Amma, on their behalf, and for our healing. While I was spontaneously praying to Amma, I said something about the lights of these two souls flowing up to Her. Anyway...although the candles were "supposed" to last for another 12 hours, they went out almost immediately after I finished the closing prayers. Just before the flames died, though, I took several photographs (from the same angle), just to have for a remembrance...and, suddenly, these two lights just soared upward, right to Amma (only visible in this one particular photograph, and not visible to the naked eye), and just for a moment, I saw my own face in Her image, gazing upon them. It was so beautiful! I've (temporarily?) put this picture in the "Photo" section, under the title, "Amma's Lights."
