Dearest Friends and Family,

Our family from Japan has made it out. All four.   But they cannot have peace.   Their hearts and minds are burning for the horrific disaster worsening every second in Japan.

Its astounding, but can we see it?

Humanity has seen many horrors before, where the peoples were butchered, as is happening now in north Africa, middle east, - where the land and all buildings were destroyed, where it was polluted with oil…and I hear now depleted uranium is being spread in Libya, by beings who have lost their own humanity….Human history has seen places where people were chased off and out of the Earth that bore their baby steps… torn off the waters and breaths of air that connected them so deeply, in every cell, to the land that birthed their beings….

But this, now, in Japan?

Over 1000 lie dead in the first evacuation zone around Fukushima. Radiation ‘contaminated’ they cannot be buried. Their bodies will pollute the earth further. They cannot be burned. The bodies will pollute the air further. They cannot be ‘decontaminated’ as the corpses have disintegrated a little too much to bear ‘decontamination.’

Can we understand it? Here is a well informed article, just facts, no fiction:

Fukushima-Daiichi “As Serious As Chernobyl” By Chris Busby

www.countercurrents.org

Because these people are by and large, more cultured, cooperative and better behaved than the rest of the world, they have been other-ized in the past in my country, uprooted and put in concentration camps under FDR (Roosevelt, US Prez) , father of what is now the WTO.

The mayor of Minama-Soma City between the 20-30 km evacuation ring zone (see this link for his 11 minute video appeal with English subtitles) appeals for his starving citizens and recalls to us that the great tradition of the Samurai wrestler, is from his town area.

A young boy shows a homemade video of the reality for 7 million people in Tokyo – no food. No water. No explanation. Silence. Don’t breathe too much…..keep your windows shut.

A Frenchman, with that flair of style attributable to the French gives this view of what its like to sit in Tokyo now:

http://wireofinformation.wordpress.com/2011/03/28/japan-nuclear-radiation-disaster-frenchman-in-tokyo-demands-the-truth/

What is really happening here?

A great and ancient civilization has been destroyed before our eyes.   Earth, water, groundwater and air, are poisoned.  The inhabitants of Japan are becoming radiation cooked.   The fauna there will die off,  born deformed. The flora – plants and trees will live, but they will be poisonous.

An evacuation zone that should include ALL of Japan,  is missing.

Look at Chernobyl’s evacuation zone, and the area that it actually severely affected. Now draw the circles around Japan, without even accounting for the fact that this is so far, 7 times WORSE than Chernobyl….

what do we get left?

I sent a message to Mercy Ships, begging them to get as many people out of Japan as possible.   No reply yet.  If any of you know any ships – or have friends and relatives in the cargo business, lets please use any and all connections to get the people who want to get out of Japan out, before it is too late for them.

My Japanese family,  I hugged them,  their hearts are numb,  they are in a state of unbelievable shock.   Its one thing to lose your family, your house, your property.    But your entire COUNTRY?    And Most of the PEOPLE in it?  Who will and are dying horrible suffering, starving and thirsting deaths?

Your history as a human being, a culture?   Lose in the sense of never being able to touch the Earth there again…for at least 500 years….

If you have Japanese friends, extend to them every kindness and consideration.   If they go out of their minds for a few minutes, don’t seek to incarcerate them in a psychiatric ward. Surround them with love, tea, human understanding…. beautiful music….keep them in a room, or get out into a garden and sit with them…hold their hands and pat their backs…wipe their tears…if they can cry…..

No country yet has undergone the horrendous test of Japan….our Earth Soul is shaking….this is a test for all humanity….

It is a soul damage that staggers the mind.

One young man lost it and drove into Fukushima Daiichi,  then out,  and down the road to Fukushima Daini – which has had smoke twice that I’m aware of from its ‘’shut down” reactors…..

They haven’t found any intention…why he did it….if we read his actions, we may see the cry of youth in Japan in them….suicidal desperation….

Honour, Respect, and love those who are able to get out and survive….don’t let one glance break their hearts any further….

and let us all begin the mourning,  for we are losing Japan,  precious Japan,  that has added so much to our world human culture and understanding.

Human civilization is going to go forward,  if we can,  without the gracious presence of Japan….

Think of all that Japan has given the world in term of real culture….

And you will see that the Earth Soul,  is in deep agony.

I am afraid to see Amma’s face….How will our Mother bear this?

Whereas before, we could look to a new day, we are entering a long dark night.

And with our mourning,  let us stand together as one,  and turn off the stupid education,  the stupid development,  the stupid energy use….

Lets turn off our stupidity.

Maybe there is a way we could sponsor air tickets on these bassid airlines that want to profit off of suffering? Email me at auntykamala@gmail.com if you have any ideas…

I feel to an extent helpless…but, something must happen,  lets stand together….

somehow….

Loving you,

Aunty Kamala

ps word: Bassid. My cuss word. Admittedly, its close. But sometimes there are no words fit enough.

Bassid, Bassids. Bassidized. Greedy Bassids.

Dearest Friends and Family,

Some of you are in the midst of the world-wide crisis that is evolving very fast from Fukushima, Japan.

Below is a letter from our Japanese family in Tokyo.

We should all understand that at times of crisis, the truth of the situation is not coming out.  But people can and do KNOW,  as we are ALL ONE.

Attached are some photos of us in previous years with Anni - circa, 2002-2003.

I have left the English  as it was written, as Eiko is using one of those digital dictionaries, the word they mean in Japanese, is attempted in English, and that attempt may be closer to the feeling that the Japanese word would convey.

OM NAMAH  SHIVAYA

Dear Kamala.

Thank you for your email to Vandana with your merciful, YES!!   Fukushima is look like after atomic bombed now.

now, rebel 6.      USA army, China, England,  they left from Fukushima soon.

anyway very very bad situation.

and  radioactive flow out to pacific ocean now!!

Anyway please read their screams and tell to your friends …

『There are people who are trying their best at ruined nuclear power plant to save Japan, Japanese, you and your family. Please pray for them.

Please pray for them to complete the work, please.

All the members of nuclear biological chemical defense unit applied for the  task on their will.

Most of them are above 55 years.

They finished bringing up their children and they are thinking of themselves as there is nothing to lose for them.

There were 50 applicants, according to jiji press.

TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) is asking other electric power companies and other plants in Japan for help.

They invited nuclear veterans who

want to take part of inner-plant tasks. An applicant who works in chugoku  electric power co said that “I should handle this task since I have just one year until mandatory retirement age and already finished to bring up  children.” He said that his family couldn’t say a word against his will.  20 applicants left their homes as usual day in the morning. The Health,  Labor and Welfare Ministry urgently raised the exposure limit from 100 to 250  millisieverts for the current nuclear crisis.

Applicants required to be risked their life to execute nuclear power plant recovery tasks.

Thanks to their effort, the most critical situation was escaped for the moment.

If it were gone wrong, we wouldn’t have life now. It is said that  survival rate within 300 kilometers is almost zero.

We are spending these precious times thanks to their effort.

Owners of the company are revealing little information at a time for their

own safe and avoiding going out from Tokyo, where is far from stricken

power plant.

Please pray for the nuclear power plant workers.

Please pray for them to complete the work. Today water spraying to the nuclear plant has done. Please

pray for them to complete this hard task. Please pray for their safe.  Please tell others to participate in the prayer chain for this subject.』

At The Lotus Feet of Amma.

Eiko

Fukukshima has 14X the amount of radioactive materials that are troubling, including the spent fuel rods, than Chernobyl…..

While some governments continue to push other destructive agendas, nothing is as terribly destructive to the people of the Earth, as this,  YET.

If you do a little net-research, you’ll find that it will be over three-hundred YEARS at the EARLIEST before Chernobyl will be less actively dangerous than it continues to be NOW.

I have noticed something, I just want to ask you if you are experiencing it too, about Chi.

Try this, if you have not become aware of your own Chi before:  Sit somewhere, calmly and peacefully.  Hold your palms in front of you, facing each other.  Gently and slowly move them further apart, still facing each other, then closer together, until you feel that Chi `sponge’ between your palms.  Thats an aspect of your own Chi, and part of what Tai-chi is based upon.

Yesterday, during the prayer vigil for Japan, I noticed that it was coming out of the Earth, very strong.  Prior to this, in my awareness, the Earth was always `holding Her Chi’, which is the only way that I can describe this….now, even up here on the 6th floor, it is very palpable.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

This is nothing supernatural or metaphysic, or siddhic, its just a simple thing, like the energy of a heart….

Holy Mother Amma has said, Only Grace can save us.  We have to unite, in love and kindness to each other and the creation here with us, and turn off all other faucets of our madness to each other.  I feel this is the effort that is required from us, for that Grace.

There can be no more war, if we all raise our children to be kind and loving.  There can be no more trash produced, if we cease buying the products that make it.  The companies and industry that produce what we don’t really need, are the ones behind nuclear power.

Dearest Friends and Family,

We are discovering the Penance of Speech.  We feel this is due to Anni’s helping influence in our lives, for we do want to be able to commune with her again. Anni had perfect control over her speech.  Our Amma has recommended that we be like the Swan and take the milk from the waters of all pure spiritual inquiry.  Amma has said:

We should create opportunities for people everywhere, especially young people, to learn not only about their own religion, but also about other religions, and to become appreciative of their noble ideals…let us go beyond religious conversion and work to eliminate narrow-mindedness and division.

Holy Mother Amma

Below is a prayer, one jewel that we just have to share, as we are so thrilled to learn about the Chofetz Chaim  - Desired Life.

The Chofetz Chaim is an ethical treatise in Judaism on L’shon ha-ra - the (mis)use of speech.  L’shon means - tongue, and L’shon ha-ra refers to `evil speech’. In Judaism, the reverence for God is so great, that the word ‘God’ is not used, and is referenced: G-d.

The Chofetz Chaim was introduced to us by a friend and visitor to the Ashram, who spent 8 years in a seminary in Israel.  The great Rabbis are Sages.

A prayer from the Rabbi Chofetz Chaim

Gracious and merciful G-d, help me to restrain myself

from speaking or listening to derogatory,

demeaning or hostile speech.

I will try not to engage in L’shon ha-ra, either about individuals or

about an entire group of people.

I will strive not to say anything that contains falsehood,

insincere flattery or elements of needless dispute, anger,

arrogance, oppression or embarrassment to others.

Grant me the strength to say nothing unnecessary,

so that all my actions and speech cultivate a love for your

creatures and for You.

We do not realize the power of our speech. The great sages of all religions have put a clamp on speech. Here’s the main reason why:

Whoever speaks l’shon ha-ra causes the Shechinah (God’s presence) to depart from this world.

Midrash Devarim Rabbah 5:10

It is written that God says that He and the gossiper cannot dwell together in the same world.

Talmud Arachin 15b

We are finding that this is a very great sadhana, and seek your blessings in putting the great teachings of Rabbi Chofetz Chaim into practice!   LET’S   DO   IT!

Loving you,

Aunty Kamala, Anni and Link
