    Re: Mother ...

    Just thought would share one of the many experiences that I had..

    My pet dog took seriously ill and my vet said since he is very old there was no chance of him surviving.

    I could not bear to see him suffer and wanted him to pass away peacefully.

    All the years that he was with me, I would telll him when I was leaving the house that I am going out and would be back either soon... or late.. depending on what I would tell him he would either go inside and lie on the bed or wait near the door .

    When I saw him suffering and was helpless .. I turned to Mother . I took Jeff on my lap and told him.." Mother will take care of you .. You go to her .. Amma will come after a long time" and believe me .. he died peacefully within the next couple of hours.

    Mother is everything for me .

    Others out there with wonderful experiences with Mother ?

    Hi Bhooma,

    Thanks for posting your experience as well as the mode of worship of the divine Mother. I am a devotee of Shri Shirdi Sai Babaji but have been drawn towards Mother too. Maybe becoz I am going thru a very tough time in life. Earlier also I had asked whether Mother still helps and a answer was given to my query.

    I still would love to read more about the experiences of Mother of Pondicherry.

    Regards,
    Shakta K

    Dear Poornima

    I honestly dont know why it is 1.25. Maybe the next time there is a prayer meeting I will confirm with the people who are more knowledgeable and let you know.

    regarding flowers.. Mother loves flowers .. You can keep any flower you want. I buy flowers on a daily basis . so I use that . Otherwise on my morning walks I pick up a couple of flowers and use them too.

    In my next posting I shall send details of the various flowers and their significance .. I had picked this up during one of the prayer meetings

    Cheers

    Hi

    I am so happy to see this thread. I am a devotee of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother since childhood. My grandfather is a long time devotee of Sri Aurobindo, I consider him my guru for sri aurobindo yoga. When I was in India I use to ask so many queries to him and he would answer so patiently. As now I have come to US, I am not able to communitate with him that frequently, so I got depressed. Coz I could find nobody around me who are devotees of sri aurobindo ashram.

    Now with Mothers grace I found the right place for me.....
    Please do keep posting the good information about different things related to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

    Thank a lot to you
    Shaily

    Dear Bhooma,

    Thanks for the reply. I am glad to meet up with you here virtually. 'Calling/Sending Mother' is something that I read in the books long long ago. One person has written that when she faced problems she would pray with all her heart to Mother and ask Her to go the person who gives trouble to help her out. I dont remember the article fully. I am sure someone would be aware of this.

    Thanks
    Poornima

    Hi all,

    I am a devotee of Mother too, I have been to the ashram in Pondycherry a couple of years back, as for me even when I think of her I immediately feel immense peace and a feeling of security engulfing me, I instantly relax become very calm, I think of MOTHER always and request her to be with me and guide me.

    Jelaja.
