Asking Amma for Name (was: I HAVE A NAME - Pasadini)

April 21, 2006

Namah SHivaya,

When I asked Amma for a name, it was in San Ramon. People needed to meet early

in the morning before the program, along with the people who wanted to be in the

question line.

Though what you are saying is the norm, She makes exceptions when She feels its

appropriate. Just like sometimes She gives mantra at a normal darshan instead

of at the Bhava.

Namah Shivayah,

Almost everyone has to ask. In general names are

given out around 1:00 p.m. at a morning program.

In recent years, there are more who want them

than who get them. But if you are supposed to

get one, you will. Amma never gives names at

Devi Bhava.

Hope this helps,

Usually those exceptions are for people who absolutely could not make it at the

normal, appropriate times. Still sometimes those people are turned away. Its

always Amma's call.
