Today Amma went swimming with everybody and came afterwards almost directly for bhajans.
Everyone was still blissful from all the fun when bhajans started.

Amma sang the following:

Nanda Nandana
Azhikullil
Pelava Kaiviral
Alarnda Chutavizhi (Lalitamba)
Wondrous Goddess
Om Namah Shivaya
Uttama Premattin
Jai Ma Ambe

An old/new English song called Wondrous Goddess was there tonight. The Original is an old song called Ishwari Jagadishwari.

Wondrous Goddess, precious Goddess
Giver of the gift of grace
Lighting fires of liberation
Please remove my many sorrows

With its pleasures and its troubles
I have seen this worldly life
Must I suffer like a moth who
Blindly flies into the fire?

I am pleading for Thy grace to
Hold me firmly on the path
Mother who destroys all sadness
Please remove my many sorrows

What the eye can see today
By tomorrow will not ever stay
Clouded by the veil of maya
Only what is true remains

Asking with humility
To know the fruit of human birth
Merciful and radiant Goddess
Lovingly I bow to thee
