"Love just happens...Love is a sudden uprising in the heart. Love is an unavoidable, unobstructable longing for oneness."
--Amma
Amma (Ammachi)A mystical story about Amma from The Path of the Mother; and biographical information.
With Amma as the guide, the path of universal Love on the journey with the Mother, follows six stages. Like seasons the stages are cyclical; they happen over and over again in many different ways. Like nectar from the watery Moon, they arrive intuitively out of the heart center, and follow their own flow.
Stage one is getting to know the Mother; stage two, love and rapture; three, the Mother's discipline; four, the shadow; five, surrender; and stage six, contentment and yearning. The final liberation is not included as a stage because, once attained, it is permanent.
Author, artist, and counselor, Savitri has lived for months at a time in Amma's ashram in South India, from 1992-2005. From 1973-1990, before Savitri met Amma, she lived in ashrams in the USA. With masters degrees in fiber art and counseling psychology, Savitri is a recipient of Fulbright and National Endowment for the Arts grants. She continues on her path with Amma on Mt. Desert Island in Maine, where she weaves, writes, and offers a private counseling practice.
