[FairfieldLife] Re: Mayi Amma
(snip) Thanks to both of you. Since reading Paul's post re Sattyanand and Guru Dev's death, I have been thinking that the only point in a discussion group with a supposed spiritual bent is to help one another advance -- to share experiences, methods, teachings. It's so easy to get sucked into sectarianism and fundamentalism and closed- minded bickering. -- I don't think it matters which/whose tradition what comes from; it's all valuable to someone, sometime, somewhere. The secrecy thing that shrouds TM is such reactionary and petty separatism doesn't help anyone. It breeds jealousy, egoism, paranoia and a general drag on evolution. Again, thanks to you (and many others) -- there is still hope. Such things only matter if you worry about them. I can't even remember how to say my mantra out loud without a lot of thought, so its not an issue for me. This is a good point; The perfect use of the mantra: that it becomes so effortless; That just the 'intention' to meditate begins the process... No trying to remember anything; Just completely in the moment; With the mere intention, begins transcendence...

One thing to keep in mind about this and all other appearances of MMY on TV: He was there to advertise a product. Specifically Yogic FLying, but more generally, the spiritual regeneration of the planet. What matter a little hedging of the language in THAT context? He had and has a blief about these things, and is quite willing to stretch the facts in order to attract attention to his cause, especially since he believes that eventually what he says WILL be reality, even if currently, levitation only means bouncing on one's buttocks.

It's a fundamental beginner's technique. The TMO? surely not. From a perspective of having had training in traditions other than TM or Hindu, there are better teachings that would have worked with TM. I don't think Mahesh wanted TM to work as in cause anyone to become his rival or actually be enlightened. Remember what he said about Lillian Rosen, the AT lady. Taking no chances. Yahoo!

She used towalk right into the sea and stay underwater at the sea bed years onend.. The gospel according to t3rinity. Makes me wonder...when did stuff like this start being gospel and stop being fairy tales? My experience is that the more real, strong, vibrant and consistent spiritual experiences that people are having in a spiritual group, the *less* interest there is in the group with these sorts of things. And the fewer spiritual experiences people are having on a daily basis, the more interest there is in such things. Probably true. But I'm not interested in either one, so I wonder where that leaves me? :) It's not that I'm not interested in the spiritual experiences (so-called) I'm just not interested in chattering about it--seems kind of pointless. But others obviously are--so chatter away! :) Indeed, Sal. In fact, one of the distinctions made by some traditions between different two basic types of spiritual seekers is that one type is more interested in discussing/studying the experiences of others and and the other type is more interested/only interested in having their own experiences. Within that (artificial) breakdown, I find it interesting what type of experiences themselves different seekers seem to be interested in and attracted to. Some seem to be attracted to the more pragmatic types of experience, and other seem to be more attracted to the more woo-woo, very-possibly-fictional types of experience. I guess it's the same distinction you see in mainstream religion; some Christians feel drawn to Christ because of his attitude towards the poor and the downtrodden, and others can appreciate only the flashy stuff, the walking on water and the miracles. Again, different strokes for different folks... Thanks to both of you. Since reading Paul's post re Sattyanand and Guru Dev's death, I have been thinking that the only point in a discussion group with a supposed spiritual bent is to help one another advance -- to share experiences, methods, teachings. It's so easy to get sucked into sectarianism and fundamentalism and closed- minded bickering. -- I don't think it matters which/whose tradition what comes from; it's all valuable to someone, sometime, somewhere. The secrecy thing that shrouds TM is such reactionary and petty separatism doesn't help anyone. It breeds jealousy, egoism, paranoia and a general drag on evolution. Again, thanks to you (and many others) -- there is still hope. Such things only matter if you worry about them. I can't even remember how to say my mantra out loud without a lot of thought, so its not an issue for me. Yahoo!

Did you know that at the side toward Viv. island, at the
temple walls lived a great Avadhuta, Mayi Amma? She is on one
of the
early videos of Ammachi who visited her.
There are some cool stories about that trip in one of the early
books about
her. She is purported to have levitated in front of the group that was
traveling with her.
Really, I haven't heard this before. I have one friend, who lives in
Pondy who meat her early on. He describes her as 'raw Shakti'. Here is
a photo I found on the web:
http://archives.amritapuri.org/matruvani/pic_mv/amma_with_mayiamma.jpg
Very difficult to find anything about her at all on the web (partly
because her name is written in many different ways), even though she
is quite famous in the south. She was always surrounded by dogs, which
she would feed with prasad people brought her. This is in a way
typical for Avadhutas, as the archetype Avadhuta, Dattatreya, is
always pictured with dogs. To get an idea what an Avadhuta is: Famous
Avadhutas would be Shirdi Sai Baba, who by his Hindu devotees was
looked upon as an Avatar of Dattatreya, and Swami Nityananda, Guru to
Mukthananda. She wouldn't say anything sensible, if someone would ask
her: 'May I stay' or 'should I go' she would simply repeat the
question. She has healed many people.
There is one very juicy story about her: Somebody went to Ammachi,a nd
complained about stomach pain. He had it since ten years. She asked
him if he had ever seen Mayi Ma. He said yes. She asked if it was abou
ten years ago, just before the pain started. He again confirmed.
Ammachi then asked him if he was offered Prasad by her, and again he
confirmed. She asked him if he actually took it, and he denied. Now,
you must understand, and my friend very grafically described it to me,
that she would feed the dogs with her own hands the prasad people
brought. She would actually put it into their mouths, and there would
be moisture on her hands from the dog. Then with the same hand she
would give prasad to another person, and as my friend pointed out 'You
had to take it'. When Ammachi heard that he had declined to take the
prasad more than 10 years ago, she told the man to go back to Mayi Ma
and take prasad, which he did, and then he was cured of the stomach
pain. Anybody having stomach pain here?
When I was in Kanyakumari, I also visited a place called
Marutvamallai, a mountain, were there is a samadhi of another saint
callaed Nayana, which also plays prominently in Ammachis biography, i
think he called her 'Kali'. The mountain is regarded as holy and has
caves. I met there an Indian Swami, friend of my friend in Pondy, who
frequently goes to Thiruvannamalia. I think his name is Thannu or
Thannupillai Swami. He is well educated and speaks english well. he
told me about Mayi Ma, and he knew Ammachi, when she was still quite
unknown. He said that she had a guru, also an Avadhuta, I think he is
the one who appears in the book by Nealu ('Road to Freedom, II'), who
comes in the village of Ammachi regularly, and hugs all the women, and
the men close all their wifes away, but Ammachi recognizes that he is
a true saint. I believe she retained the hugging habit by him. He is
not called a guru in the book, but simply a saint she met.

About 20 people were there. That doesn¹t make it a fact. Just their account. I¹ll try to find and post the details. Barry Wright tells us that on a regular basis his now- deceased guru levitated and that he, Barry Wright, has in fact seen it himself. Anybody else want to get on the bandwagon? Yeah. Laurel and Hardy are doing a levitation act in NYC. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!

I understood your comment to be humourous and lighthearted. In fact I tried to respond to it in an appropriate way (by saying Christianity got it all wrong). I got indeed unnerved by Barrys trying to use this for one of his dumping remarks. He should know better than talking to the dead (he just had told me before that I am dead to him). So mine was a reminder to keep to his promise. I am also somewhat opposed to be easily dismissed from this forum by him.

Thanks, Rick, interesting. All these stories come up while diving in one subject. No idea though, how long she could really stay under water, and how old she really was. There is a story on the Ammachi website stating that she was surrounded by about 50 dogs, and they wouldn't take any food or dring any water, unless given by her. True devotion!
