This was my second meeting with Amma. I had gone to the Chicago
\nO’hare International Airport to receive her, as had many others that
\nday. In the last one year, I had already heard many powerful stories
\nabout Amma that clearly pointed to her being a Self-realized saint, no
\nless than God Himself! While a part of me was quite convinced of
\nAmma’s greatness, the other part wanted to ‘test’ her in some small,
\nsimple way.<\/p>\n
As Amma came out of the gate and started walking out with a sizable
\nretinue of hers, I too began following her, managing to stay several
\nsteps behind and to her side. Then, began my test: Mentally, I began
\ncalling “Ammmma… Ammmma… Ammmma…” The objective of the test was
\nto establish whether or not the supposedly omniscient Amma can
\ndemonstrate that she can, at minimum, hear my calls. Suddenly, Amma
\nturned, slowed down just a wee bit and smilingly looked at me.
\nWalking, as I came within an arm’s reach of hers, Amma wrapped her arm
\naround my neck, pulled me closer, kissed my cheek, and kept walking
\nwith her arm still around until finally letting me go a few feet
\nlater!<\/p>\n
Though this whole episode did not last more than a minute, it was
\nquite an experience! Can any modern physicist demonstrate or even
\nexplain this phenomenon, I thought.<\/p>\n
While I felt there was no need for testing Amma any further, Amma on
\nHer own has since then given me not one but several indications of Her
\ndivinity. I seek Her guidance in not only big and spiritual matters
\nbut also in small and mundane ones… because I know She knows.<\/p>\n
