Devi Bhava Breakfast Satsang<\/strong>
\n27 Nov 2007, Amritapuri<\/p>\n

Amma arrived on stage for the Devi Bhava satsang and puja in San Ramon at around 8:20 am, Amritapuri time.\u00a0 The Western Canteen was just about to open, so many people were treated to a breakfast satsang.\u00a0\u00a0 The green screens that divide the eating area from the rest of the Main Hall were moved aside, giving a clear view of the small TV that was transmitting Amma’s image to us.\u00a0\u00a0 In the past few days, a number of visitors have arrived – for many, it was their first time seeing and hearing Amma.<\/p>\n

After Amma blessed the water and while it was being distributed, the Mata Rani video played on a screen in San Ramon for everyone to watch.\u00a0\u00a0 Amma was so cute.\u00a0 While sitting on the peetham, She started to gently clap Her hands, or move them from side to side in synch with the beat.\u00a0\u00a0 One almost expected Amma to shout out ‘Jai!’ in response to Her own call of ‘Mata Rani Ki…..!’ coming from the video.<\/p>\n

Once the video ended and everyone had received the water, Satsang began.\u00a0 For some, it was the first time that we were hearing the translation in English.\u00a0 (Dublin’s was also in English, but it was too late at night for many people).<\/p>\n

After the puja, Amma went inside the mandapam, and after a few minutes, Amma’s familiar call of\u00a0 “Namah Sivayah!” came over the speakers.\u00a0\u00a0 For a while, the conversation seemed to only consist of a series of elated ‘Namah Sivayahs!’ going back and forth \u2013 sometimes overlapping.\u00a0 Oh how sweet it is to hear Her voice! While Amma’s voice is certainly motherly, this time around, one could discern a palpable childlike excitement.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s as if Amma is reflecting our joy at being able to hear each other \u2013 like a child finally getting the candy or toy she\/he had desired.\u00a0 Perhaps Amma feels that same way when She goes in the Mandapam \u2013 looking forward to interacting with Her children here \u2013 who are longing for Her physical presence.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s how Amma must also feel each time She comes down from Her room or enters the Hall to give darshan.<\/p>\n

As for the color of Amma’s sari… it was some shade of blue\/green.\u00a0 But instead of elaborating further (and most likely somewhat incorrectly), we’ll hope that one of the many blog readers who are probably there right now might post a comment here after DB has ended<\/p>\n

Next stop….Ann Arbor.<\/p>\n
