Well Ravi, I don't know a damn thing about Amma except what I read and feel. To me, anyone, no matter what they say with their mouths, who has to exist with a retinue to attend them and surrounds themselves with masses of people have some major problems they are using the crowds to hide. As in they desperately need the attention and adulation of an endless stream of people to feel that all is right with the world inside themselves. And of course no matter how much they get, its never enough.
Add to this the desire for money and it comes in wads and showers and disappears into a nebulous vortex of "good works" that no one ever really verifies as to whether or not the money is being spent where the organization says its being spent. Eventually, as was the case with Muktananda, Kriyananda, Guru Mai, Maharishi and who knows how many others, some of the top people always leave the guru and begin to tell the world what they are really like and what they do in private. I know a lot of people will disagree with me on everything I am saying, especially if I have named one of their primo favorite gurus, but the truth will out as Shakespeare wrote in the Merchant of Venice, and eventually whatever this guru has done will come back of its own accord. Seems to me that if the karma is to return via Ravi or in part by Ravi then the Universe will make that plain to you, but for it to happen it may be unnecessary for any lawsuit on your part. Maybe the Universe will show you that. And if it comes to it, then you may be that instrument. ________________________________ From: Ravi Chivukula <chivukula.r...@gmail.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 7:23 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Amma's trip to California Damn - I just realized not everyone here would be familiar with Amma's trip in November to US. She visits Michigan and San Ramon, CA around Thanksgiving every year. While she just confirmed her trip to Michigan today her San Ramon, California trip is unconfirmed yet. November is my favorite time of the year and her November tours were favorites of mine so I'm a bit nostalgic I suppose. All my major milestones with my mystical experiences were around her tour dates in November, the prominent ones in 2002, 2009 & 2011. And Nov 1998 was when I first visited her in San Ramon, California.
