Nathalie

Nathalie in Paris with my little guy - July 2007 - just before or after this pic was taken, she was planting gentle little kisses on his gentle little cheek - he sat stock still, eyes wide open, almost not daring to breathe, so as not to distract her lest she stopped!

If you haven't already done it, check out Nathalie Latham's blog - as she goes on this amazing journey - http://nathalielatham.blogspot.com/

I'll be posting something just for Amma devotees here from Nathalie later today.

நதலயே'ச இன் டவுன்

Nathalie came over today and we did a lovely 108 Om Namo Narayanis meditation. She put a flower near one of my pictures of Amma and it looks lovely. I'm thinking about a new book I want to write and I know Amma's blessed the project so I am waiting for Divine Guidence. I think I might have got some today.

அம்மா அண்ட் Louis


Hi All, A little Amma story... I've been steadily introducing my much-beloved son Louis to Amma's love since he was born two and a bit years ago (the late night "Narayani" song is the first song he ever heard outside the womb and his favourite lullaby...)

I have a picture of Amma on a bookshelf in my office and Louis will often kiss this - totally unprompted and not something he does with any of the other half dozen family pics on the same bookshelf! (Nor for that matter does he kiss any of his teddy bears...)

Today, for the first time, he picked up the 6 inch wooden carving of Buddha meditating on the same bookshelf as the picture and said "Amma!" (actually he said "Muma" which is what he calls Amma, which to my ears is very distinct from Mummy, which is what he calls me...!)

I thought for a second and said "Yes darling, Amma..." because I'm pretty sure Buddha and Amma do share a lot of the same energy.

Louis brought the little carving to my desk, gave it a kiss and placed it under another picture of Amma, which I have on my desk, and said decisively and happily "Muma".

Then he grabbed this second photo of Amma and kissed that too! Amma-may-zing!!! Om Namo Narayani. Love to all

ஓம் நமோ நாராயணி!

I asked Amma for a special grace. I prayed and prayed and prayed. And then I tried to surrender. And my grace was granted. Om Namo Narayani!

And PS Louis saw the new A4 size pic I have of Amma on my desk and grabbed it and said""Mama, Mama" which is what he calls Amma - and then he kissed it about five or six times.

He did this before with another Amma pic. But Amma's photos are the ONLY ones I've seen him kiss, including ones of me and O and Grandmas and Grandpas.

As we head into 2009, I wish for myself, my family, and all those I know and love, and even those I don't, to understand the power of ...

Nathalie managed to do a self-portrait while she and Carolyne were Skyping me from Peedam.

ஈமெயில் டு எடோ அண்ட் Nathalie

Hi guys,

I said I would write to you both with the details of what happened here the other night. Dad is really REALLY weak now - it's very clear this is his last lap this lifetime. We've obviously spent a lot of time with him (and have loved and appreciated your thoughts and support).

As we were leaving the other night, my sister said "Sweet dreams Dad" and I said "Yes Dad, and remember, if you dream of Amma it's very good luck..."

And Dad - as sick and motionless as he is - actually did a real double take and looked at me with astonishment.

I said " What Dad?" and he said he had dreamed of Amma, maybe for the last two or three nights.

I could hardly believe it, mainly since Dad is such a devout Christian and never really understood my Amma " thing" at least he seemed not to particularly " get" it - though he is a very tolerant man.

I asked him what had happened in the dreams. Dad really knows only very little about Amma, and if he'd had to imagine what Amma would have said, I'm sure he'd have expected 'reassuring plattitudes'!

But actually, he said they had talked about "my treatment and Australia" which I am pretty sure you will both agree is EXACTLY what one can imagine Amma would talk about, non?

It certainly made me feel a LOT better to know that Amma is with him, perhaps partly thanks to you two sending up prayers to our Divine Mother.

Om Namo Narayani!
