Pranams to all 🙏
On 11th December when we were all celebrating Jagruta Shakti day in the divine presence of Amma, a learning through experience.
In last 4 years whenever Amma travelled I was blessed to stay with Amma in her room. Being with Amma in the close proximity is like being next to fire. Amma once told me if you are aware with whom you are here and if you keep your mind alert then you will get to experience things which are beyond human comprehension. I had shared few of my experiences and learnings here in the group earlier. But what I experienced on Jagruta Shakti Day is new shift in my journey.
While veda group was chanting the Durga Sapthashati Amma had closed her eyes and I noticed that the sindoor ( vermilion in the parting of the hair) was slowly dripping down and I was thinking if it comes down it might spoil the kumkum on Amma’s forehead and I got up to wipe it and as soon I moved from my place towards Amma I felt a strong invisible entity of energy pushing me back and for few seconds I couldn’t move forward or backward and a voice said “it will stop, don’t touch Amma now”. Oh Amma, are they your yogini’s who are always present around you 🙏
I don’t know what energy shift happened within me I started crying, I sat down and I couldn’t stop crying.
After sometime Amma opened her eyes and looked directly in to my eyes with that divine smile.
As Amma keep reminding us our journey is like that of lotus flower blossoming layer by layer and every layer rises us to a whole new dimension of consciousness.
This experience is a new shift in my life, compassionate mother has bent down to our level to lift us up.
Mother’s physical presence is teaching us how to be humble.
Before coming to the darshan hall I was with Amma in her room serving her to get ready for the day and as mother sat in her full glory I couldn’t even move an inch closer towards her. That fire in her proximity burns our “ I “ in most subtle way.
We all are blessed to be in the divine presence of mother Shakti.
How compassionately mother has taken us in her lap. Prayers and surrender at the divine lotus feet of Amma 🙏🙏🙏
