Finally! The birthday celebrations are behind us…lot of chaos, ofcourse in a positive way i guess. Amma has her way of breaking down the ideas we have about ourselves and others, breaking down set patterns so that we come out of the attachment to our personality and stand free as the infinite…but its a painful […]
The birthday is happily over. There was just so much to do that I didn’t find time to write. Today everything is almost back to normal, except that Amma will be leaving for Europe in a few days. A little Sad for those staying here but bliss for those waiting eagerly in Europe. Tonight’s bhajans […]
Amma’s grace has allowed us to be with Her at Amritapuri these past three weeks. She has provided many opportunities to connect with the inner and outer mother. Both my husband and I have had the seva of cleaning Amma’s path. It is a job that is physically taxing especially during the persistent rains that […]
My wife and I have just spent three weeks on the sacred soil of Amritapuri. Many experiences, teachings, challenges, and wonders filled this blessed time. I would like to briefly focus on ‘Darshan’.

Truly, they are coming from all over—from Kerala, France, Australia, Pune…. Amritapuri.org took the chance to speak with some of the devotees and see how […]
It was dawn and I was about to drive down to the Ashram from Trivandrum. As I quickly scanned the morning newspapers,before I hit the road with my family, I was pleasantly surprised.All the prominent newspapers today carried pictures of Amma with a shovel working along with sevaks clearing the Ashram premises which was flooded […]
I woke up this morning listening to the Lalita Sahasra Nama chants through the loud speakers. It’s not from the ashram sound system. It’s coming from the village. I have heard Bhagavatam reading over the loud speakers from the village. But not Lalita Sahasranam. What is it? The villagers are paying their tribute to our […]
