hey Tom i'll sponsor you

OM NAMAH SIVAYA

 

if money is what is holding you back Tom i will help you. i assume

you have the LS archana book if not email me your home address and i

will have one sent to you. it only about $5 or so right?

 

next a place for hold satsang??... find a park near your home with a

big tree to sit under. the tree will protect you in case of rain and

visualize it as sitting under the Loving umbrella of Amma's Divinity.

 

next email or call whomever you want to attend the LS chanting. that

shouldn't cost anything so i trust you can take care of that. if

people show up cool if not just keep doing it they will come.

 

prasad??... i like to think of prasad as my ego offered to Divine

Mother, and after The Names i like to visualize that i have become

Her thru The Mantras. then when i take prasad i am eating my own

ego. i think watermelon would be a good cost effective option. but

any fruit is fine. let me know if you need money for the fruit.

 

by the time the weather changes and its too cold to be outside

satsang will have had a couple months to get going and maybe an

alternative to the outside location will present itself. Mother

provides, right? i am forgetting anything? i really hate the

thought of bothering Amma with any of this, when as you say the

Sadhana is what is really spurs our spiritual development. besides

She is so busy already i would gladly pay $ to relieve her burden

even a little. let me know if this is a workable solution for you.

Not sure if you're being fecicious (sp?) or not...

 

I just got a second copy of the small purple book this past year on

tour, but if you want to purchase copies for a "group collection" for

members, by all means get your checkcard ready.

 

Not everyone's into the great outdoors in August on the eastcoast,

due to the heat and humidity and the traffic making it unhealthy to

breathe. Plenty of mosquitos too.

 

It's Adharmic to "go-around" the structure of devotees who currently

do have places to hold satsang, or who can pool their finances to

rent a place. The outdoors is not suitable because of the

distractions and problems hearing eachother due to the lack of walls.

 

Next: Nobody wants to do the chanting. Many I've seen turn away

from going to any satsang at all, Amma or otherwise. Why?

Ineffectiveness, lack of Faith in the practices, laziness and

cheapness. There's a common belief that one shouldn't have to pay

for spirituality. Also, people don't understand that while learning

the LS takes great effort and time, it's a Lifetime Skill if you're

going to stick with Amma, so why not start now and forever be blessed?

Any prasad is great, but Amma says that the plain chanting itself is

enough, not to let the lack of puja articles deter one.
