    That would be the most precious time of my life. I would like to spend my time in her tight hug feeling the eternity and waiting for her command and keep chanting AMMA……………

    !!!… I’ll be in a state of shock (like I am now, simply thinking about such a moment!)… I’ll probably won’t be able to function, think or decide… I’ll just sit there quietly, watching and admiring Her… If She smiles, talks to me or interacts, I’ll try to be fully present and interact fully. It would be like experiencing Eternity! WOW!!
    But if I can prepare myself ahead of time, then I’ll have a few philosophical questions…

    This question, I think, should be answered by keeping an attitude that AMMA is not confined to Her physical mortal, but she is a Tattva [principle / phenomenon / value / virtue]. Our prayer to Her is to give us that Eyes [Jnana Chakshus] so that we can see Her in all Her creation and offer Her ‘Padapuja’ by serving Her creation and thus be with Her not for an hour but till ETERNITY.
    AMMA herself is telling us “AMMA is always with you”. Let us be Her good children by trying to reflect Her teachings.

    I would like to go on a trip to some beautiful mountain (maybe Mount Shasta) with AMMA… walk with her holding her sari, see the beauty around, share few jokes, eat something together…
    Swimming with her in some beautiful lake will also be on my agenda…. the thought itself is bringing bliss…… :)
    If it happens then after that “I” won’t exist…

    first let me admit how i envy those who get to be with ammachi all the time… for me, it would be an hour to cherish for a lifetime……it would be a journey back to childhood… i would once again be the baby clinging on to the mother’s fingers… amma and me would together go to the seashore… i would lie on her lap listening to her singing “ammatan madiyil”, one of my favourites… i would insist i be fed by her own hands… if she intends to leave me alone even for a second, i would weep, hugging her tide… time stands still at moments like these, and my magical hour with amma would never end…

    Just the thought is giving me bliss, what will happen if I’m with Amma alone. I think I will be fulfilled. I will not want anything. I will be deeply silent being in Her presence. I will offer my heart to Amma at her lotus feet spontaneously, and my eyes will flow tears of joy.

    Once I fell at Amma’s Lotus feet, I would ask to make the time over as there are too many to mention that would benefit from the remaining 55 minutes.

    sripati Says:

    In preparation, I would have list ready of all the questions that I have ever wanted to ask Amma. But I have this feeling that the moment that I walk into Her room, we would just sit and look into each other’s eyes until we would both burst out laughing uncontrollably.

    I will request Amma to rest Her physical form. While She rests, I will massage Her holy feet and melt in that blissful silence.

    Obviously a one hour darshan would be my first response. But maybe I’d like to keep some minutes for questions on my sadhana.

    Not enough space to write in here… :)
    The question is really making wow!! Will we ever get a chance!!?
    Amma Please give me time as swamiji told here… I will do whatever amma makes me do at that time… Don’t know now.

    mahita Says:
    January 9th, 2008 at 2:13 am

    wow! how could i possibly have an answer to that. I am alone with amma every night and morning during sadhanna and in between inside my mind and heart when i think of her, but really….????I think I would ask her to sit on my head or something and squash the last remaining bits of me with her grace. Then I’d be pure enough to serve her. oh God Krishna if only!

    jagadambe29 Says:

    OMG. That’s so beautiful. I want to talk to her! About everything. Would I ever get a chance like that? I would just cry and let her console me. Let her hold me and talk to me. Oh my dear Amma, that would be a humongoid blessing. I would just hold onto her. NEver letting go knowing that I have my everything with me right now and remember that moment. Pure bliss being with my Divine MOther. I would want her to braid my hair and feed my let me play with her bracelets. Please Amma let this come true. It would all be like heaven itself…. :)

    Many a times, when we spend even a fraction of min. with AMMA alone, it’s so thrilling and can’t be described about.

    What to speak of an hour …?

    ammasnimmy Says:
    January 9th, 2008 at 9:26 am

    ohhh AMMA!! that would be the most happiest time in my life….even if i plan to do something , i noticed that it doesn’t work….but if i pray to her to make that wish come true She will grant it !! so i will pray to AMMA make me use that time effectively :) ……

    Gurudas Says:
    January 9th, 2008 at 9:35 am

    First of all Sashtangapranam at AMMAs lotus feel. Then I would like to PADAPUJA. I would like to discuss about problems that is bothering me. But when AMMA looks in to my eyes I go totally blank. Hence to bring me back to normalacy I wish AMMA speak to me first.

    (Even visualising that occassion, my mind gone to bliss!!)

    My wishes is to perform Paada Puja infinite time and on Her lap and ….. and …… and ……. Amma Sharanam. As an experienced person I would like to say that one cann’t even plan or remember whatever they can do in the physical presence of our beloved Amma. Time just passes and you will be totally black out. Amma had given me a chance to perform Paada Puja, that too in Her room on 24th January 2003 [my 10th wedding anniversary day]. I was totally black out during whole one hour of Her physical presence. Amme… Kali…

    ammasram Says:
    January 9th, 2008 at 12:01 pm

    I can’t tell what i will do because when i see or think about amma my response is happening spontaneously. Anyway i will use that precious and valuabe time .

    priya Says:
    January 9th, 2008 at 12:36 pm

    wow ! a beautiful question. if left all alone with Amma for an hour, i would be in bliss, as i just gaze at Amma’s beautiful face in silence. then do a padapuja with my tears.

    vidhya Says:
    January 9th, 2008 at 1:57 pm

    that question itself excites me!!!!!!!if i have the fortune to be with amma for 1 hour i would simply like to lay in her lap…….to kiss amma……to tightly hug amma……to look deeply in to amma’s eyes……to enjoy her beautiful smile……….and it would be the most wonderful and meaningful hour of my life.

    Lasita Says:

    My very first thought upon reading this question was that I don’t deserve such an opportunity! However, if this miracle of Grace was to happen, my feeling would be to surrender to Amma in each moment. I would want to listen to Her and to meditate in Her presence and to act as a servant…no one else makes me think in this way!

    saleena Says:

    I would ask Her to show my ego to me and all my bad sides so that I could continue faster to the goal. But what ever She wants to teach me, is good.

    marcie Says:

    It would be how Amma wanted it to be. It might be heaven or hell. No matter what it would be Her grace. In my ego deficent reality i would either attach to the pleasant or have an aversion to the unpleasant. My ego would be either bloated or hungry. It would be better if i gave the time to one of the Swamis and observed how one is able to sacrifice ego idenity in sacred relationship with Amma Devi. This ego will not allow me to touch the HOLY FEET of AMMA these days, but i can see the prostrated heels of the Swamis and they be sign posts.

    Just thinking about Her, and reading these posts, tears come to my eyes, and I long to see Her again!!! 6 months seem sooooooooo long from now!!
    I would hug Her and dress Her in Krishna’s dress and crown and give Her a flute. Then I would beg Her to sing Kalina Kannan. I don’t know what else, what ever happens spontaneously, I guess!!

    Ever since I read this question.. I have been smiling, thinking and meticulously planning… Each time I decide I would do this, my heart leaps with joy and reminds me of something else I would like to do…
    I would sacrifice my entire lifetime for that one hour… and if at all it happens…. I will consider myself the most blessed… what will happen in that one hour… only Amma can say :)

    Thank you for this lovely question… it has brought a lot of happiness and the very thought has filled my heart and mind with so much bliss!

    Actually I don’t have any major spiritual thing I’d do if I get a chance to be with Amma alone for an hour at this stage of my life. I’d like to hug her tight and kiss Her. Also I would like to tickle her and see how she responds :-). Then ask for Her advice in how I should go about my life and my responsibilities. Maybe fight with Her a little :-). Then ask Her what she would like to do for the remainder of the time.

    harimam Says:

    I may have lot of wishes regarding how to spend time with Amma. But the experience is that Amma is having the full control of my mind, body and intellect. So Her will will happen. What ever happen will be for the good of me for sure.

    blackpearl Says:
    January 10th, 2008 at 12:10 pm

    I will tell AMMA to change 60 min = 1 hour to Infinite time = 1 hour
    and will be with AMMA for that one hour… how about that ??
    and then will hang around with AMMA… for eternity….
    smart. !. isn’t it ? ( that is my plan )

    but in reality. i will try to be there in AMMA s presence for that entire one hour. because. normally my mind wanders around in all directions even if i am talking to AMMA.. so i will try hard to be with AMMA……

    g_navlakha Says:
    January 10th, 2008 at 12:59 pm

    I can only pray that, hopefully:
    There would be no “I” in the picture, no ego, personal wishes, desires, pre-conceived notions, plans of what “I would like to do”; whatever happens in this special one hour would be spontaneously by Amma’s Will alone; this would turn into an experience of timeless eternity…

    Prem@pune Says:
    January 10th, 2008 at 4:52 pm

    i just want to merge deep into AMMA with no thoughts of world or worldliness, whatsoever.

    ‘1 hour’ alone with AMMA, I cannot imagine! From the Numerous Births that we have passed this would be a Great Blessing frm Amma and hence would like to be thankful for Showering this Great Blessing!

    ammasmol Says:
    January 10th, 2008 at 6:26 pm

    Being one hour with Amma,I will have enough to meditate for a lifetime cherishing in beautiful memories. Being in the presence of Amma who is beyond time, space etc, I will pray to amma to merge me in her atleast for few moments and i will be completely lost…….

    i am pretty sure that no matter whan plan i made for this - walking in the forest, swimming with her, eating pancakes (for some reason i’ve always wanted to eat pancakes with Amma?), singing with her, holding her feet - when the time came and i was actually alone with her, all these desires would go and i would just fall in her lap and stay there for as long as possible. if *She* used the time to give me some kind of instructions for my sadhana and my life that would be nice..

    cbsuresh Says:

    I don’t know how to answer this question!!? I would seek Amma’s grace to do Amma’s Pada Pooja… Then I would ask Amma to guide me through the I-AM technique so that from the next day onwards it would be a different experience doing IAM technique…

    gabriela Says:

    SriPati - That’s exactly what I did in a dream where I was alone with Amma! We both ended up laughing.

    I would do whatever Amma wanted to do.
