Fue en una noche de Abril, cuando Swami Dayamrita regreso por octava ves a Costa Rica. Los devotos estaban muy contentos de poder compartir el amor de Amma en Costa Rica, asi como tambien sentir su presencia. El primer programa se llevo a cabo en Puerto Viejo, una pequena villa de pescadores ubicada en el caribe. Es muy parecido a Amritapuri y huele y se ve como tropico. Inclusive la apariencia de sus habitantes se asemeja a los de Kerala, India. El programa fue recibido con mucho entusiasmo por parte de los adultos y muchos ninos. La musica fue un poco diferente, pero estoy segura de a Amma le encanto. Regresamos a San Jose, la capital, donde nos preparamos para impartir cinco programas. El viernes por la noche la Organizacion La Luz de Amma se reunio para Satsang, preguntas personales, respuestas y cenar con Swami Dayamrita. Todos los presentes sentimos a Amma acompanandonos. Los siguientes dias completamos los programas de Amma, dos cursos de meditacion IAM y dos satsangs. Todo fue bien atendido y bien recibido. Los salones estaban decorados para esperar el arribo de Amma cuya divina presencia se hizo sentir. Toda la preparacion y los programas fueron ejecutados con mucho amor.
Dayamrita estaba complacido de ver que Amma en Costa Rica florece. La Luz de Amma tiene ahora Satsang regulares, y desde su ultima visita se ha alimentado a aproximadamente 1000 comidas para los indigentes. Hemos adoptado dos Orfanatos, en los cuales los devotos su tiempo ayudando con tareas, dias de playa, peliculas, yoga, comida, alimentos, ropa, bailes, espectaculos de titeres y practicas de sanacion con mucho amor y atencion. Asi mismo, hemos ayudado en la construcción de baños, sistemas de seguridad, donaciones de pinturas para casa. Tambien hubo una gran donacion de equipo medico para los huerfanos invalidos. La presencia de Amma se siente cada ves mas y mas. Esperamos el dia en que Amma vendra, mas hasta entonces la luz de su amor es sentido a traves del servicio desinteresado en sus devotos en Costa Rica
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN ISWARI THAT TEARS DROP FROM MY EYES, THANKS FOR DOING IT
AUM NAMAH SIVAYA

It was an April evening, Swami Dayamrita returned for the eighth visit to Costa Rica. The devotees were very excited to share Ammas’ love in Costa Rica and also to feel her presence here. The first program was in Puerto Viejo, a small fishing village on the Caribbean. It is much like Amritapuri in smells and looks, both the tropics. Even the people’s appearances are similar to Kerela, India. The program was received with much enthusiasm from adults and many children. The music was somewhat cacophony, but I am sure Amma loved it. We returned to the capitol San Jose, where we prepared for five programs there. Friday night the La Luz de Amma organization met for satsang, personal questions, answers and dinner with Dayamrita Swami. All present felt Amma in our midst. The next days were filled with Amma programs, two IAM meditation classes and two satsangs. All were well attended and well received. The halls were decorated for Amma to arrive, and sure enough, her divine presence was felt. The set-up and programs were done with much love.
Dayamrita was pleased to see that Amma Costa Rica is flourishing. La Luz de Amma is now having regular Satsangs, and since his last visit has fed approximately 1000 meals to the homeless. We have adopted 2 orphanages where devotees have donated their time helping with homework, beach days, movies, yoga, food, clothing, dance, puppet shows and healing practices and much love and attention. We have also helped build bathrooms, security systems, donated paint and painted one home. There was also a large donation of medical equipment for the handicapped orphans. Ammas’ presence is being felt more and more. We wait for the day Amma will come, but until then the light of her love is felt through the growing selfless service if Her devotees in Costa Rica.
Jai Amma
