Mukti, my wife, and I went to darshan about 2AM at the last Devi Bava in San Ramone this past June. Amma asked us to sit near her. A young Indian woman came for darshan to ask many detailed questions in a mixture of Hindi, Malayalam, and English. We heard the word \u201cphysics\u201d pop into her conversation with Mother. Mukti wagged her finger at me; \u201cWatch out\u201d, she said, \u201cThis is about you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rhadika Nair, who was standing behind the chair pointed to me, as she told Amma that I was a physics professor. Amma gave me a big smile. We left the stage totally energized. I went to sit in a chair by the side of the hall to watch darshan and listen to bhajans.<\/p>\n
Fifteen minutes later, I was called back to the chair. This time Amma said, \u201cAmma wants you to come to Amritapuri and help start the new integrated physics-math program at her university. What grace, a direct request from our beloved Guru and I immediately I pranamed and said, \u201cYes Amma.\u201d<\/p>\n
I had thought that I was in a retirement phase of life. Now, a few weeks later, I\u2019m here in the Amritapuri ashram commuting across the backwaters to Amma\u2019s new university.<\/p>\n
People have asked me if I like it; but what\u2019s to like or dislike when I am in Amma\u2019s loving service.<\/p>\n
