November and December Satsang


"Most of us are always thinking about the losses in life. We forget about the greatest gain that we can have – that is love. Let your mind open up fully, and you will experience love with all its fragrance and beauty." -Amma
Aum Namah Shivayah Amma’s Maui Children,
**Please note this months satsang will be on Nov 19th instead of the 12th, bhajan practice on the 7th will be at Kalyani’s house, and Veena will be the head cook  this Wednesday.**

Many of you have expressed interest in volunteering to help cook at the homeless shelter but haven’t made it there yet. The shelter is full to brimming and this is a perfect chance to help serve. We do need you! Even if you can only come for part of it, your help is appreciated! RSVP the head cooks if you can come. Look forward to seeing you there in the bliss of service to others!

May Amma Bless,
Kalyani

October and November Satsang Activities



"Extending help without expecting anything in return is real service. It is the power that sustains the world. To love and serve with dedication can be compared to a circle, for a circle has no beginning
or end. Love does not have a beginning or end either. Through selfless service, we can construct a bridge of love to bring us all together." 

"Once, a band of thieves robbed a person of his valuables, bound him with rope, and pushed him inside a well. The victim shouted for help. Hearing his calls, a few people went to the well. Seeing him, they threw a rope inside the well and saved him. A rope bound him. Later, another rope saved him. Similarly, the mind alone is the cause of both bondage and liberation. We can lock the door when we turn the key towards left; unlock the door when we turn towards the right. But the key remains the same. How we use it determines whether we unlock the door or not. Similarly, the mind alone is the cause of both bondage and liberation. Most of our sorrows are caused by misconceptions. At dusk, the sun sets into the sea. A child cries, imagining the sun is drowning. Such is the case with most of our sorrows.” - Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi)

August Satsang Activities & Aug 29th Program with Swami Dayamrita





“No one can experience the Self until his heart is filled with compassion. You cannot

        love.”

July - August Satsang Activities



  
“One may ask, “The scriptures say that God is within us and not different from our true nature. Then why should we seek refuge in a Satguru?” It is true that God is within us. We are, in truth, the embodiment of Sachidananda—pure existence, pure consciousness, pure bliss. But have we experienced this truth? No, it is being veiled by our ego. We hold the key to the massive treasure chest within us, but that key has become rusty due to a long period of lack of use. Just as we remove rust from a regularly key by applying grease, so too we have to remove the rust of our ahamkara and vasanas—our sense of “I” as a limited body and mind and our deep-rooted tendencies. This will help us realize our true nature. It is for this purpose that we seek refuge in a Satguru. 
However much the guru tries to awaken the disciple, unless the disciple is ready to awaken from within, it will never happen. It’s easy to awaken someone who is sleeping, but it is impossible to awaken someone pretending to be asleep. When you break an egg by force, it puts an end to a life, but when the shell breaks from within, life is created anew. In a similar way, when the disciple awakens from within, it is like a rebirth happening. He or she awakens to their true nature. Being with a Satguru is like being a chick being warmed by the body of the mother hen. The guru’s presence creates the favorable climate in which the seeds of divinity within the disciple can sprout. The guru provides us opportunities. It is up to the disciple as to how they are used.  Once a guru knocked on a disciple’s door with a lamp in his hand. The disciple said, “Open the door and come in.” The guru said, “I cannot do that. This door can only be opened from within.” And so it is: the disciple has to open the doors of the heart to permit the entrance of the guru’s light.”

Please join us to celebrate and honor our beloved Guru, Amma, at 4:00 at Ron's in Wailea today. If you would like to come early and help with set up at 3, please call or text Kalyani 344-0325.


Amma is always encouraging us to increase our spiritual practices and reminds us that we don't do them for ourselves alone. The entire creation benefits from sincere practice. Inspired by this, we are going to begin have two satsangs a month, one upcountry and one in Wailea. We hope to see you there.
