A man came to see Amma today and asked her for a mantra. Amma agreed to give it to him. He was meeting Amma for the first time; how lucky he is. After Amma gave him the mantra she held him close to her heart one more time.
\nThere is an interesting story about this elderly farmer from a remote village of Karwar District in Northern Karnataka. This man had a dream a week ago in which he saw a woman in a white sari. At the time, he didn\u2019t recognize her; he had never seen her before. He became so restless\u2014he wanted to meet that lady. Then he happened to visit a clinic in Karwar. Lol! There she was. On the wall there was a photo of the same lady whom he saw in the dream. He asked the doctor \u201cWho is this lady?\u201d
\nThe doctor explained about Amma. The farmer then asked \u201cHow can I see her?\u201d. Amma was coming to Mysore in a week. The doctor, who is a devotee and organizer of Amritakutumbam (Amrita Families) in that area took him to Mysore to meet Amma and receive her darshan.<\/p>\n
Before this, he didn\u2019t know who Amma was. Now he says Amma is the shakti, she is Kali.<\/p>\n
Earlier, he had desired to have mantra deeksha (initiation). A teacher offered it to him, but he declined\u2014it didn\u2019t feel right. Then he had the dream of Amma. Now he has the mantra.<\/p>\n
If your call is sincere, the Guru will come. Its one of the fundamental truths of spiritual life.<\/p>\n
