i have just been checking up on Amma. Their official website
is not
only impressive but daring. Yesterday i come across one of
her forums
that actively induce others to believe that she is an
incarnation of
Shri Lalita Devi, the great Goddess. This is truly amazing
as
academicians and professionals have joined hands in a
collective
effort to announce Amma as the great Divine Mother. And i
believe
this organization, unlike CEOs running Sahaja Yoga from
ivory towers,
is getting its act in order. If the SY elite think they can
continue
ignoring reality from those dizzying heights and do not come
down to
earth, they are going to get a nasty surprise.
But what really stumps me is the ability and faith Amma's
devotees
have that she is the Divine Mother despite a complete
absence of
evidence. Since 1999 some of them have begun works on the
internet to
project her an incarnation of Shri Lalita Devi. (Even though
SYs had
a head start more than two decades earlier hardly a finger
has been
lifted in this direction, or any other, to project Shri
Mataji as the
Universal Divine Mother. All SY websites are just afraid of
doing so
for reasons i don't even want to know.)
Given that Amma is only 53-years-old she is going to snap up
the
subtle system slums and turn them into glitzy Universal
Motherhood
ashrams. Who wants to continue living in our slums when
their glitzy
ashrams offer warm hugs, instead of daily negativity and
weekly
bhoots, all the way to heaven?
Until a few days ago i believed that perhaps the high
priests of
Sahaja Yoga will realize the enormous responsibility to
humanity and
be galvanized to do something positive, and have enough
faith /
foresight to announce a much watered-down version of the
Last
Judgment and Resurrection. i do not see any choice as all
options
have been long exhausted. (Am i alone on this?)
But the recent national seminar in Australia and subsequent
N.
American newsletter has dashed all hopes, albeit faint, that
anyone
will tell the truth. No one seems to care or is concerned
anymore.
So this pointless pondering will continue to fall on dead
ears.
Ah! yes, we were talking about Amma and her devotees
dedicated to
proclaim her as the Divine Mother, despite having so little.
What
would Amma's followers have announced and achieved if they
had the
same experiences and knowledge we SYs have?
................... or
the incarnation of the Great Goddess, the Shakti of All, as
a Mother?
Is it just pointless to ponder?,
