Amma's ChildrenVote and Devi Energy

[Guest guest]

Hopefully, all of Amma's children who are U.S. citizens are

registered to vote and will vote in a few weeks. Swami

Ramakrishnananda told us when he lead the Labor Day weekend retreat

that Amma asks the swamis and everyone at Amritapuri to register and

vote in the elections. He added that sometimes it was a toss up

between two shady characters in Indian elections but it was still

thought to be their duty as spiritual people and citizens to perform

this duty.

 

And, when I saw the theyyam at U.C. Berkeley, you bet I prayed. The

performer who was dancing the role of Bhagavaty looked at

himself/herselt in the mirror and "became" the goddess. Then the

Goddess performed a traditional story of her fierce gooddess self

becoming peaceful and benevolent due to having a drink and a bath at

a local well. I prayed for the election result that I think would

bring a little more ahu=imsa.

 

Per my professor, it is always supposed to rain before theyyam. We

had very severe and early storms in California just before the

theyyam performance. About four sets of hikers were trapped in snow

for from 4 days to a week. I heard one of the rescued hikers last

night on the news. Explaining how his group survived, he said that

they stayed close together and every day they inquired about each

other's emotional well being. With tears in his eyes he said that

people should ask each other how they are feeling emotionally more

often. Sounds like Amma's advice, eh?

 

This man was stuck way over in the Sierras, quite a distance from UC

Berkeley where Bhagavaty danced. Amma said "With love, there is no

distance."
