A Dream Come True

[Guest guest]

Namaste, Firstly Thank you for shareing your experience, feelings and also your affection for Amma. Every Year when I vist Kollur and I am at Amma's feet feeling like I have not one mother but Two, two different adoration, one Spiritually with whose feet is not on the earth but far beyond guiding and takeing care of us before even we attain the fruit of our deed and the other Physically close to us shares our life who is with us from the day we are born till one leaves eachother forever. This time I had a very different effect and experience and this time more than ever before i know that AMMA hears all our pain and cry and never lets one go empty handed after our visit to kollur. I donot know from where to begin because it involves my family and inlaws as

well.Hope that as you do read further you will not be upset with the way i behaved as well. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG IN THE BELOW PERSNL EXPERIENCE. August 3rd i reached kannur. August 4th we left for Kollur at 9am reached kollur at 5:10pm. Reserved ourself rooms at Sauparnika Guest House.At 6:30 I received a friend of mine and his family at our room and as I had requested my friends to also get me an offering same as theirs which was a Sword and a Saree ( when I received, I did pay the amount back as it was an offering from my side ).Later we agreed to meet at the Temple for Dharshan and they left. At this time I got myself bussy with dressing up the little one Deepika for the Dharshan. She insited tht she wore Salwar and be a typiccal Hindu girl with flower on her head as well. Devika was also in Salwar and looked equally beautiful to her sister. Later when I was getting ready I heard a talk between my motherinlaw and her son as to why was the sword and sareee being bought did I ( Babitha ) request them to buy? and so the chat was a bit of a question and answer between me and family. I was hurt asked Vasanth what was the issue and he explained that all these years of All visiting Kollur they have never offered a Sword to AMMA and never seen anyone offering the same to AMMA before so what do we do? I told him if that is the case then I will not take it to the temple. I was hurt deeply. Next day August 5th when we where leaving back to kannur we did our last dharshan. I prayed to Amma from my heart not to be angry with me and I knew AMma knew what was happening here the night before. Morning I got ready and then suddenly Vasanth asked me "Are you not takeing the Saree & Sword?" I replied are you sure you want me too, he said take it we will ask the

Poojaree there. Fine i took it , it was rainning like hell that day again but this time too much. I reached in front of AMMA asked Sree Kallidas the main poojaree there, can i offer the sword and saree to AMMA, he accepted it with full mind and heart, I told him not to return it back its for Amma. I felt somethign different after i prayed right in front of Amma it was like after AMMA its was me then the rest of the crowd. I said my last prayer and told amma goodbye sand to take care of her children till our next meet. As i left Sree Kallidas told me to wait and not to go, so i waited and at that time the Nada was closed for next Arthee so i waited after 15 minits Sree Kallidas called me to come forward front of the crowd and they opened the NADA and what do I see????????????? AMMA wearing the same saree which i had offered and the sword was placed next to AMMA. I have no words now ,,, I am full of tears

this very minit. Everyone from my family was surprised and quiet nothing to say after that. Even myself I have lost words to write to you now.As it was rainning heavily my happiness was also immersed with the rain drop that flooded the banks of Sawparnika. One small adv. However we are in pain or troubles and problems, never forget that there is a Good reasson for this behind us, accept it happily for the fruit of the deed will be more sweeter thn anything. I end here. Pranam, Babitha

Namaste,

 

The below subject is something that I think one would have experience

if only because you had interacted with AMMA from the bottom of your

heart and AMMA felt the pain and luv you had reserved . orelse i

think that you had a bad experience because you did not know the

temples regulation of taking snaps, so u took a long jump instead, so

as a punishment you where rewarded to not to take snaps but because

you took AMMA permission thenlater , then AMMA agreed to approve of

your request. SO its a lesson first ask before one takes a leap.

Please do post the snaps that you have taken and please share the

same with us too.

 

Pranam,

Namaste Babitha,

A really moving experience indeed!

Yet another example to prove that the divine will accept anything

that's given in Love and affection.

Did not Shri Krishna accept the humble offerings of Kuchela?

Did not Lord Shiva accept the plucked out eyes of Kannappar?

 

This is probably a good example of Negative thought Vs Positive

thought. Maybe she wanted to test if you succumb to negative

thoughts..(which you did, but no harm, its a lesson learnt) or Maybe

she felt she wanted to receive on that specific day and created a

small obstacle? You never know but alls well that ends well.

 

And the end result was fantastic right? Sometimes she adds all

masala to make it more lovely. Think about it...if no one commented

anything, you would have just taken it over and given it to the

priest and it would have been a simple offering. But now with a

little bit of masala thrown in, she made it so fragrant and

relishable right? Will you forget this for the rest of your life?

That's the Magic!

 

See same in my case, if i had just gone there, taken some pictures, i

would have just walked off casually...but then she puts me through an

insult, and then gives me what i more than deserve.

 

Only then do we write about it here??

 

That reminds me, while i was walking down the road to take a bus

today, i saw a wonderful board placed in front of a church, which

read:-

" Man's way leads to an hopeless end.

God's way leads to an endless hope. "

HOW TRUE!!

 

- Ravi.
