To Joanna [Kali Mantra Initiation]

Dear Joanna:

*** Quite frankly I am surprised this is Shakti Sadhana Group with

such narrow minded point of view , Ammachi can also instill in You a

serious Path if that is what you are seeking [...] It is then bit

strange that in a serious group like this people would freely jump

at judging great Mahatmas ***

 

Please do not feel that way, Joanna; I do not think that is what is

happening here. I think Ammachi is simply one of those topics that

get people very excited, because she does inspire great loyalty and

devotion. And that is good.

 

I don't think anyone here is disparaging Ammachi or doubting her

authenticity. On the contrary, the focus seems to be on how the

current swirl of popularity and organizational structure around her

has made it difficult for some people to receive what she has to

offer.

 

For the pure of heart, who have the ability and/or the inclination

to cut through the hype, there is a great power in Ammachi. And even

for those who are just following the circus, I imagine there is much

to be gained as well. They too are, in a sense, taking an important

step forward, whether or not they understand it yet.

Devi Bhakti, [....] No offense intended,

but it's truly a waste of time,

even replying to your posts. [....]

Love & Peace
