Amma Colorado

With Amma’s blessing,  Prasannan Herke is again traveling from Amma’s ashram in Amritapuri, India, to the United States to provide Jyotish consultations.  We are very pleased that he will be able to come to Bailey on Monday and Tuesday, March 8th and 9th and then to Denver on Wednesday and Thursday, March 10th and 11th.  Please contact Kalika at 303-908-6918 or email JyotishinColo@yahoo.com to schedule an appointment.   Donations are $60 per half hour consultation ($120 per hour) and are payable at the time of session by check (payable to M.A. Center) or cash.  We expect time slots to fill quickly so please make your appointment soon.

Prasannan has traveled with Amma extensively since 1995, providing Jyotish consultations during Amma’s programs throughout the United States, Europe, Australia and Japan.  During the tours there is so much demand for readings that frequently consultations are on a lottery basis and are limited to half hour sessions.  Therefor, this is a very special opportunity to have a pre-scheduled reservation.  You may want to consult regarding current life trends (health, spiritual, financial, relationships), selection of best dates for important events (marriage, new business, new home), or “Astrolocation” analysis (find your best place to live).  A selection of Astrological gemstones from Amma’s bookstore will also be available for purchase.

Two IAM meditation courses are planned in Colorado.  These are wonderful opportunities to learn a very special technique requiring only 25-30 minutes of daily practice that has been shown to yield many readily noticeable benefits.

The first one will be held on Saturday, February 6th from 9AM to 5PM at The Inner Space, 324 N. Tejon Street, Colorado Springs.  A small donation is requested to cover expenses.  Please contact IAM instructor, Jacquie Ostrom (Niraga) at 719-238-1993 or email jostrom@lindseyfam.net for more details and to register.

The second course is scheduled for Saturday, April 24 from 9AM to 4PM in Lafayette.  A refresher course will be held the following day from 9AM to Noon.  Please contact IAM instructor, Paramesh, at 440-715-0023 or email DurgasLion@gmail.com for more details and to register.  A $35 donation will cover expenses, lunch and snacks.  If you have trouble contacting Paramesh due to his travel schedule, you may contact Dhanya Rohde at 303-467-2077.

This powerful meditation technique was given directly by Amma and is now taught in Colorado by these qualified instructors.  Anyone is welcome regardless of personal, philosophical or religious association.

Calling Colorado Youth ages 15 to 30 who wish to live a life based on spiritual values!  AYUDH is an Amma youth group movement promoting a future of hope and peace, maintaining an awareness of spiritual awareness and interacting with others who want the same.  AYUDH stands for Amrita Yuva Dharma Dhara, loosely translated as “the youth which perpetuates the wheel of Dharma (righteousness)”.  Ayudh also means peace in Sanskrit.  Amma devotee, Vandana Duff (email: wasabispicy@gmail.com), invites you to the very first Colorado AYUDH meeting this Friday evening (November 6th) at 8:30 PM at the home of Prema and Vivek Vivekanandan at 7277 August Drive, Boulder, CO 80301 (see Satsangs page - Boulder - for contact info).  Prema and Vivek hold Satsang the first Friday of every month starting at 6:30PM, so please feel welcome to come for Satsang and then stay for the AYUDH meeting.  Discussion will include goals and possible upcoming projects.  Now is a great time to get involved with this incredible group!

Amma will have both public/free and retreat programs in San Ramon, CA and Ann Arbor, MI in November, 2009.  Details are available in the Amma Tours section of the M.A. Center website found at http://amma.org/.   For additional info for Colorado devotees such as car pooling, room sharing, etc, email: info@AmmaColorado.org.  We hope to see you at one of these wonderful programs!
