The Origins of The Little Goddess

Little Goddess is the name that my Satguru AMMA gave to me.  "Devika" Devi = Goddess, ka=little.  I waited patiently and longingly for a name from AMMA.  I came very close once. She had stopped giving names just before she got to me, so I decided to ask her during my Darshan.  To my delight, she decided to give a few more names, again I came so close! I had a choice to allow someone to go before me.  So, I did. And AMMA gave him a name.  And I sat there and cried.  AMMA and Swamiji kept leaning over to look at me.  I figured I had to let go of my WANTING a name so badly and allowing it to be given to me at the right time.  I wondered if she would give me a name like "The Patient One" or something.  Finally, about a year or so later, I got to AMMA's side where Swamiji opened a small piece of paper and said to AMMA, "Devika, Devika".  AMMA looked at me and said, "Devika".
So that's me in a nutshell.
