New Vlog! Check our adventures to see Amma the Hugging Saint at MA Center in Elburn, Illinois right outside Chicago. This year marks her 30 Year Anniversary of her US Tour starting in 1987. We had an amazing adventure camping at the Dunes, eating delicious vegan and vegetarian food at Third Coast Cafe in Chesterton, Indiana and Roots Cafe in Valparaiso, Indiana, swimming and dune riding/running and hiking at the Indiana Dunes State Park. We then spent some amazing time with Amma at MA Center and received our Amma Hugs and enjoyed the atmosphere of her ashram, Vegetarian food and all night Kirtans and Bhajans while Amma hugged thousands into the early morning nonstop!
We then had a bit of a challenge getting home but all is well and we had an amazing time!! Watch the video to see for yourself! I highly suggest both meeting Amma and visiting the Dunes!
I hope you got lots of VALUE from this post! If you have questions or comments, please share your comments below! Thanks for visiting my blog!

I was at a restaurant yesterday and this song came on. Actually, they were playing the entire Erykah Badu “Baduizm” album. It brought me back! I was feelin these emotions come up and remembering high school and my first love in North Carolina and that crazy journey we took together. My spirit was so young and so innocent then. I was so naive to this harsh world. I was very aware too, being conscious of oppression and things like that since I was already troddin Rastafari, being a vegetarian and aware of spiritual and metaphysical dimensions, but in the world of love and relationships, I was a dreamer and believer in true love and destiny. And while I still am a dreamer and believer of true love and destiny, heartbreaks have definitely left some wounds. But there is always Next Lifetime…
And when I say that, I don’t necessarily mean next incarnation.. like reincarnation.. even though that is the idea expressed in this song, but next lifetime can also mean a new phase in this life. Right now, I am entering into a new phase in life. Dreams and Aspirations are being manifested and fulfilled. New love is right around the corner too. Wealth and Abundance in all things desired is unfolding before my very eyes. There is no lack of love, which is something Amma taught me in her embrace. You just have to learn to tap into that unlimited source within. Like Butterflies, as Badu sings about in this song, metamorphosis is transforming us into the truest expressions of our selves. Our most beautiful souls are sharing love in the infinite space of existence.

When I saw Amma in California last year, I asked her for a special money blessing. I was in-between a rock and a hard place and in need of a real break. At the end of the all-night Darshan, early in the morning, Amma appeared in the center of the stage with her hands full of flower petals. As people sang the final bhajans, she slowly let the flower petals fall from her hands, showering flowers, which struck me deeply. Amma does something special known as Devi Bhava which means she becomes absorbed in the mood of the Goddess. She was manifesting in this form as Lakshmi, the Goddess of Fortune. You can often see images of the Goddess Lakshmi in the similar form, in which she showers coins in blessings to the viewer/devotee. The coins represent fortune, abundance, and prosperity. Anyone who receives the blessings of Lakshmi will have some sort of abundance.
I knew that I was sealed with Amma’s blessings, who channeled those supreme blessings from the Supreme Goddess, Herself. From then on, my life started to change and opportunities began to open themselves to me, for me to make more money and do the type of work I enjoyed, the Home BusinessIndustry is one of the most exciting and booming new ways to make a 6-7 figure income! I researched it before starting professionally and found it to be such a powerful yet often misunderstood way to create a thriving income and freedom based lifestyle from home or while traveling. You can make $1000 a day or more by simply writing blogs daily, just like this. You can write about anything you like! Just like this!! I can write about things I care about or that interest me, and make “good money” doing it. To me, this is a blessing to which I give abundant thanks to God for. Hallelujah! Jai Maa!
