My Divine Experience and Reflections on Christians Practicing Bhakti Yoga

[Guest guest]

I had an amazing spiritual experience recently, which showed to me that there

are more devotees of Jesus who are practicing Bhakti Yoga strongly than I

thought.

 

I was walking through one of the malls 50 miles from my house, happened to

randomly go to the mall that day just to look around. I was about to leave the

mall, and my intuition (Usually in the form of Amma) told me to go into the

Discovery Channel store.

 

Something told me to go over to these people, there were these two teenagers

around my age, college students who looked totally normal. (I am 19)

 

As we began talking about casual things and such, I noticed this look of

glossiness and intensity growing in their eyes. This light. A look of children

almost. I am familiar with this "spiritual" look as I am sure most of you are.

Their gazes were so intense So we began talking further, and the girl told me

she felt like I was very deep though we were not discussing any spiritual topics

yet.

 

I asked them why they were so happy, joking what were they on, and they said

God's love. So I was intrigued.

 

We decided to go out into the mall, and we sat on a bench. The boy started

describing to me his experience of being very depressed during early years of

college, and falling into partying etc. He got the point where he felt totally

empty for a period of time, like he had no soul (This empty feeling has been

described in various ways). He started crying and pleading to God he said for 5

days, and he was filled with a deep peace. He said that he has been experiencing

in the past year God's love so deeply, and that he just keeps wanting to go

deeper into God's love but it seems endless. He said that at first love seemed

boxed, such as for family or a lover, but then he said God's love is so deep and

he wants to realize it all but he just keeps going deeper and deeper into it.

(Basically he was describing and saying the exact experiences many mystics

experience, and Amma talks about."

 

By this time we all felt the energy building I feel. I did not talk so much as

listen to them, as it is good to let others talk about their experiences, it

"enlightens" them up. It makes them feel lighter and more in Truth. \

 

The girl began talking to me and telling me what messages she was receiving from

the Divine, and she began saying she felt strongly this repeated message that

"The Father Loves me, the father loves me, and not only loves me but wants to

work through me" and that God was "walking with me closely". She said she felt I

was very very deep, and just kept saying it was so awesome. I could tell these

messages were coming from the Divine, just with my intuition. The guy said he

said keep dreaming big, keep dreaming my dreams (I have always dreamed of a

spiritual purpose, and inspiring others).

 

I began to feel the energy strongly as we were praying, and my hands and feet

began tingling as they do after I see Amma or other spiritual moments. As we

were praying, we began experiencing the Lord's darshan in a very powerful way.

The boy could hardly talk, and said he couldn't believe this was happening in

the mall, that he could feel the Spirit so strongly it was like he was breathing

it in and if he breathed any more he would be drunk in the Spirit. It was there,

so strongly, and they were definitely gone in it "blessed out". Some tears came

down the girl's cheeks and we kept experiencing this. Then at the end, we felt

it coming to a close and I knew it was so the boy said "Lets go" he told the

girl and we said how nice it was meeting each other, they told me they went to

this church called Grace Center, and I should come some time. Then we parted

ways. I felt so amazing after that, I realized I had been feeling lucid and

dreamy all day though, and perhaps our combined faith as three brought on the

Lord's darshan to us. The Lord was definitely speaking through them, and I knew

Amma had her hand in this.

 

I looked up the church they went to on the internet, and read briefly about it

then went without thinking about it.

 

So then I went home to visit my mom, and I told her about my experience. She was

sincerely surprised. I looked at the back of one of the books she had been

reading, and on the back it told about the writer and that what city he was

from. I saw his ministry, and the name of his ministry was in fact a ministry

connected with this huge church, Grace Center. It is a mystic, charismatically

inclined Church. I asked my mom about it and she was sincerely surprised as a

woman had given her the book last week. Of course she lives 75 miles from this

church, and I live 50. (Other than synchronicity there is no way this could have

occurred purposely, I randomly saw these people in the mall, and approached them

first)

 

So I plan on attending this church a few times as I do feel they are practicing

spiritual practices very strongly, the Spirit is there, and I feel in my heart

that Amma is telling me that it is ok to act as a devotee of Jesus when in the

presence of devotees of Jesus as they are all one in the same. Mentally, it is

problematic for me, but in my heart I know this to be the truth. I was telling

my mom that before Amma I was not really acknowledging any spiritual masters, I

did believe in God and studied mysticism but was not really acknowledging Jesus.

And since I met Amma, my reverence for Jesus has actually increased and I feel

more of a connection (Though I feel Amma to be my "personal" Guru, and consider

myself her devotee).

 

I feel like it is ok to act as a devotee of Jesus, and when I speak of Mother's

spiritual teachings just recommend it to them as my beliefs, especially her

teachings about visualizing the Divine Form etc. Just say to visualize Jesus,

and placing flowers as Jesus's feet. I already held many of these mystic beliefs

before Mother.

 

Some Christians are very narrow, but we must realize in India devotees of

certain Gurus or even certain sects are also very narrow. Every religion has

mystics though, who are practicing Bhakti Yoga toward their chosen Beloved

Deity. Jesus is the one for the Christians. So to be among them I may act as if

I too am a devotee, as truly they are all one in the same, Brahma. I feel

perhaps imparting some of Mother's teachings would be very beneficial to

Christians, though those at this church seem to be already practicing bhakti

yoga if these too intensely absorbed teenagers were any example.

 

Just wanted to tell about my experience.

OM NAMAH SIVAYA

 

very cool story. i think your mom getting the book and you running

into them at the mall is no random occurance. i believe there are

no coincidences. at least that is how i try to play it. it makes

things more interesting that way. i also agree with you that Jesus,

Buddha, Krishna, Amma, Allah, you, me, etc all different versions of

the same thing. guess maybe i shouldn't be avoiding the mall anymore.
