I am new to the Ammachi message board. My name is Lori. I'm in the L.A area.

I'd love to hear how everyone found "Amma" I am going to meet her for the

first time in 23 more days.

 

 

Dear Lori ~ welcome! I am so glad you are going to get to see Amma soon. It

will be a wonderful, life transforming experience.

 

I first met Amma about 15 years ago. I was visiting my sister, and she took

me to a little church in NYC. It was at a time when there were still not huge

crowds, so it was very special to be with her in that context. I brought

some white flowers to give Amma, and one of the bramacharinis came up to me and

asked me if she could have the flowers. My first reaction was one of

indignance ("I" wanted to give Amma the flowers). But I gave her all the

flowers. My

sister set me straight. She told me it was incredibly special that they

wanted to use my flowers. Later, I noticed that they were preparing Amma's

chair.

It was just an armchair with a nice white covering over it. One person was

clipping my flowers and putting them all over the top of the chair. What a

thrill. It no longer mattered to me whether Amma knew I had brought her those

flowers. I was happy as a kid in a candy shop. : ) Blessngs ~ Linda

Namah Shivaya Linda,

What a beautiful story. I'm sure meeting "Amma" will be

transformation. Have you met Her several times? Do you still live in

NY? What area? I was born and raised in NY. (Bronx, Queens and

mostly Long Island). I will definitely let you know about my

experience. I am going to Her public program and retreat. I can't

wait!

love,

Lori
