Amma's Sankalpa

Om Amriteshwariyah Namah!
After 9/11 in the US, there were very few projects in my company and they were not paying the salaries on time. Salaries were paid with a delay of two to three months. My father was about to retire in few months . I was looking for jobs in other companies, but was not successful. I fail in the crucial stages of the interviews. I was eagerly waiting for Amma to visit Hyderabad so that I can tell all my distress to my beloved Amma. When it was my turn for darshan, I told Amma that my company is paying salaries with a delay and that I was failing to get through interviews. When Amma heard me, SHE said that SHE will make a sankalpa (It means a divine resolve). I was relieved that I could pour my heart's woes to Amma and Amma agreed to resolve it. I had read at some place that whenever Amma does a sankalpa, SHE solves all the problems that we are not aware of .
Few months passed. The salaries continued to paid late and I continued failing in any of the crucial stages. Some of my colleagues left the jobs. When the project managers of the outsourced project in US came to know of the condition of the people working on the project panicked as to what will be state of their project if the people working on it leave it for other jobs. They decided to have their own employees and open their office in India. As I was managing their project , I was assigned the task of finding an office here. I was told to keep it a secret so that my employer is not aware of this. I was given guidance by an advocate who happened to be the cousin of the project manager in US. We finalized on an office space. Luckily it was a ready made space with all the networking in place.
It was the year 2003 - the year of Amritavarshan - Amma's 50th birth day celebrations. My family decided to partipate in the birthday celebrations and went to Amritanagari at Kaloor staduim in Ernakulam. After I returned back from Amritavarsham, I was offered job in their new company. I was given the post of Manager, my salary was doubled and I was given a joining bonus. I am still working in this company. My compensation has been steady and now manage the entire company.
All I can say is Koti Koti Pranams to my beloved Amma - Who is a goddess to me

  1. swamy amritaswaroopananda said ammas sankalpa is not a simple prayer or an astrological temporary solution for the particular problem we face, but it is gods grace itself. when amma says "Amma
    Sankalpikkam" she means she'll take care of you, will do whatever is needed or necessary for you. we may not aware of the real problem within us, we just request amma to solve a particular difficulty in our life, but amma knows everything. she uses sankalpa by considering the devotion, karma, time of the Devotee. so when she says that she will sankalpa for you, you need not worry about the problems anymore! it is already solved. it may take a few time for the sankalpa to come true, but it will happen for sure.
