....A long time ago, as a new devotee,

I decided I'd get over my fear of flying and go to Mother's

ashram in India. So as we were flying at 39,000 feet from

Singapore to Trivandrum, we lost compression (ever feel

like a balloon that's being blown up?), the yellow masks

dropped down, and the airplane dropped 25,000 feet in one

minute!!! Yikes! First they told us nothing. Then they

finally told us we would divert to Kuala Lumpur, then after

an hour to get there, they told us that we'd go on back to

Singapore "where there are better landing facilities and

better mechanics to fix the plane."...

Dear Jyotnsa ~ I'm sooooo glad you shared this (I think). This whole story

is truly incredible. Of course, I would have been passed out on the floor and

so would have been wonderfully oblivious (the last time I flew, I passed

out, freaked the staff out ~ fortunately my mother was there, and a doctor, and

they made the crew feel so much better when they told them I had just had a

panic attack ... LOL). And then Amma's charming statement when the bramachari

came to tell Her that the plane had crashed. I read about a similar situation

where Amma saved a plane because a devotee was on it. I guess if I'm going to

see Amma, I can just close my eyes and lean back (yeah, right ... LOL ) I

didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read your story, especially about

your desparate planning about how to get home without flying. The whole story

is a great one ... great story, great experience, Great Mother.

Jai Jai Ma ~ Linda
