Q6: Your Birthday Gift to Amma?
Question 6:
“What would be your most precious gift to Amma on Her Birthday?”
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Please make your answers short and clearly understandable.
Ourselves !……..
its almost impossible. but lets try….
The most precious gift is AMMA herself – everything called “mine” comes by her grace and belongs to her, there is nothing I can give her…
To be a humble, loving, compassionate, servant for all – this is what I wish to offer at AMMA’S Lotus Feet on her birthday.
Happy Birthday AMMA!
I would like to give her something that i am attached to very much, and that would be anger and impure thinking. I am not too sure if that would be precious gift or not. AMMA please accept my gift, will you?
to become totally vegan and live as sustainable as possible from now on. I feel She has been giving me strong hints this whole year about this and this is the right time to take that step. I love You, my Mother
Absolute surrender of my ego is the best gift I can offer to my Dear Divine Mother. I seek Her Grace to make me live in the ‘present’.
my Heart
Surrender “My” Body, Mind and Intellect at AMMA’s feet
i will offer my mind to AMMA.
I wish I could say to Her: ” I love You” and really mean it in the way Amma wishes us to love Her; and really understand that everything is God.
A promise to instill in me a little Motherhood from that Divya jyothy and thus be a little more patient and soft, and to reach out to help those who are in need.
My soul, my everything, complete surrender, never to question Her. To see God more clearly, love God more dearly, follow God more nearly….
Everything that is “me”. I offer myself at Thy Feet my dear Guruji.
Happy birthday Amma! I love you!
I have nothing precious that I could offer to Mother…maybe trying to practise what she teaches to the fullest in my daily life.
Only She knows the best offering I am capable of. And she will make me offer it. And not just for her birthday..
I think that I want to offer both good/happy/positive things and bad/sad/negative things…
– Good/happy/positive things: so that I share my joy in life and show gratitude…
– Bad/sad/negative things: so that I seek her guidance and support…
I think taking a resolution to control the mind would be my perfect gift to Amma. This is what i feel ;). Hope this pleases Amma.
Happy Birthday “Amma”!
Birthday Gift: I will resolve not to be angry, thereby, creating peace within me and everybody around. This is very difficult, but I will definitely learn it through your grace.
If Amma is the Sun and I’m a candle, I can’t really offer her anything. But since I’m also supposed to be Amma, at least in some seed form, Then I guess I should water myself and thus offer something to Amma. Which is easy!
On Amma’s birthday I’ll do seva all day long at her San Ramon Ashram!
Only the divine mother of the universe could make giving her something so easy.
I have given Amma my heart, and have placed myself on the altar of Amma, so many times, and the fire gets hot, and i crawl off. If i could give Amma anything it would be the Nobel Peace Prize for all of the blessings that She has brought to the world. I really want that recognition for Amma. Happy Birthday Amma, I love You.
I think if Amma’s dream is to have her children sleep atleast one night with happiness,then I will try to be happy one day.
To become a better human being by following Her Teachings. I know this is what She wants from me. I am not able to deliver, so strengthening my efforts will be my gift.
Priyan please add something for me? I forgot the gifts that would go along with the Peace Prize:
#1 a global awakening of the Sacred Heart of the Divine Mother in All.
#2 a full month vacation for Amma and the Senior Swamis, in a beautiful secluded place.
My surrender. Happy Birthday Amma.
What can i give?…i am already hers.
I would do for her or give her anything that would make her laugh and be happy and smile around at everyone so that everyone could see the love pouring out of her that is the source and ruler of this whole universe and give thanks for being able to experience that love and that would be a present to everyone including me 🙂 Thank you amma
I think that most precious gift to Amma is to give love to everybody. Happy Birthday MOTHER.
All I can offer to my beloved Amma are my negative tendencies, for if there is anything good and of value existing within in me, it is only Her grace working through me. Once a offered Her a flower with the intention of letting it symbolize all my vasanas because there was nothing else I could offer Her. Instead of taking it and passing it on (as she usually does), She crushed the flower with Her hand and smashed it completely. Wow! What a a lesson, what a grace. Amma smashing my vasanas…
Perfect surrender to Her Holy Feet, and unbroken remembrance of Her alone.
Everything that I have now belongs to Amma, except my Ego. I wish I could surrender my Ego at Her lotus feet on her birthday…. Amma, please accept this!
Like my answer to Q1, I would like to offer myself as camphor and burn in front of AMMA.
My Heart
To give away all my egos to Amma as the B’day Gift. I found a response as the user name & PW which asked me to add my thoughts in this precious page.
Thanks a lot Amma, I know all these are your leelas. Please do accept this little girl’s offering (gift) on your B’day.
THE BEST GIFT I CAN GIVE IS TO FOLLOW AMMA’S TEACHINGS; TO IMPLEMENT HER INSTRUCTIONS IN MY DAY TO DAY LIFE.
My birthday gift to Amma is to work even harder to end the U.S. war and occupation in Iraq. I wish all your dreams for the world would come true Amma. Shanti.
Mother, what can I give you.. I am but a flower in your garden.
My only offering to you are my tears. May those tears have the fortune to be offered at your Holy Feet
(“Amma Ki Chhaaya” bhajan)
The most precious gift i can give to my dear Amma is, my love ..
Happy birthday amma!!!
To follow the path that Amma has shown to us.
That is the best possible gift that a person can give to their mom.
Many best wishes to Amma on her Birthday.
What could I possibly offer Mother that would express my gratitude for her saving me from an aimless existence wondering through Maya? I would offer my life at the Holy feet of my beloved Mother.
Unniappam, because I imagine that Amma would eat it to make me happy. 🙂 Happy Birthday Amma
i would want to offer Amma a world that she always wanted…The world needs peace but each portion of it wants to be called the sole reason behind peace!!
I wish to pray more fervently to Amma to make me an instrument in her hands.Happy B’day Amma!! To you i offer my tears of love……..
I bought Her 9 yellow/red roses and donated many bags of clothing to the freebox and painted her picture in time to enter it in a show and so it is on display now for more people to see her!
My birthday gift to Amma this year is to volunteer for the Circle of Love Inside seva. For this seva, I will write letters to Amma’s children in prison.
All of me, completely, forever……..
Being the best that I can to those around me and to the world as a whole, every breathing moment… hopefully that would do good
Ente AMME,
JANMADINASAMSAKAL
DEAR AMMA… WE WISH U A VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY…. WITH LOTS & LOTS OF LOVE….
To try to control my anger as far as possible and try to be a good girl. I will be kind-hearted, generous and will lead a more disciplined life. But as you know AMMA, I can never do a single small thing also without your help. So please help me become like I said above so that I can give you a gift this year. Always guide me through the right path.
Giving Her some rest. Pressing her legs and aching arms. Massaging her back. Running fingers through her hair and fixing them. Gently holding her like a baby and rocking her softly while humming a soft lullaby till she sleeps…Shhhhh..let Her rest now ! Don’t make noise here !
Love and Love Only!
May you live forever on this planet and bring succor to the hearts and minds of mankind…
Mata Rani Ki Jai! Mata Rani Ki Jai! Mata Rani Ki Jai!
