Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Om Namah Sivaya, A fellow devotee's 3 teenage nephews are lost in the snow near Yosemite. They were snowboarding and apparently wandered off the beaten track yesterday. They have spent one night out in T-shirts and snow pants already. Search and Rescue is out looking. Please send any energy you can in their direction. In Mother's Arms, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Namah Sivaya all, Details are still sketchy. They (3 of them, Sean & Maggie Jones' nephews) were snowboarding in a place where they could ride down a mile or so, then catch a lift or walk back up to the top. On the last run of the day, with all their really warm clothing sitting in a pile at the top, they somehow wandered off the trail and ended up getting further and further down the ridge. When their ride came to get them at 4:30, and they weren't there, search & rescue was contacted and they began looking for them. At this point tracking was fairly easy in the new snow from the day before and they tracked them further down and down the canyon until about midnight, when they called it off due to darkness and danger to the searchers. They resumed in the morning with about 65 searchers and a helicopter. The helicopter spotted them down by the river at the bottom of the canyon about 2 pm and they were able to walk to the helicopter to get lifted out. The amazing thing to me is that Maggie called Mahesh and Misha in Amritapuri, and they called us, asking for prayers. An around-the-world call for help. You may know Maggie and her three babies, Sahara, M'so & Lilly from San Ramon when Amma is around. The kids love Amma and call her MyAmma. Maggie's husband Sean and my son Ben were just mounting up the " We're not coming in until we find them " version, in case the conventional searcher called it off again in the dark, when they got word that the boys had been found. My son had driven in from Berkeley that morning. I don't know if any of you are big-wall climbing fans, but Sean and Ben were featured on the cover of Rock and Ice Magazine in January for their exploits around Yosemite. So all is well, and once more we are shown that Amma watches her children. Mike Ammachi , S Rose <enchantedserose wrote: > > ONS Mike Wonderful!
