Amma walked on to the stage looking so robust and majestic, like She really meant business. And She did deliver a set of powerful bhajans:

Nanda Nandana Hare
Ellamirikkilum Illatirikkil
Ajivanantam Bhajikyum Nyan
Sundara Kanna Kanna
Anantamayi Patarunnorakasame
Badi Duvidha Me (Hindi)
Vennai Unda Vayinal (Tamil)
Om Namah Shivaya
Jai Ma Ambe

It is always a delight to hear Amma sing Anantamayi Patarunnorakasame. Somehow the song has some uncanny power to stir something within. I guess that’s Amma’s sankalpa working through the bhajans. Sometimes I think how lucky we are, being able to attend Amma’s bhajans. In fact how lucky Amma’s children everywhere are on every level. By virtue of their faith and yearning for the Divine She has taken form among the living and is showing us the way. Now is this a miracle or what?

Anantamayi Patarunnorakasame:

The sky is vastly expanding, vibrant with enthusiasm, the inner being awakens. O Mother, Ambika, Eternal Virgin, Blissful one, The Immaculate!

Never again allow this suppliant to succumb to temptation. The pains of my heart are growing with the passing days; are you aware of it, Goddess of my heart?

Do I not have a Mother? Tell me o Blissful One, Tell me!

I seek neither bliss nor anything else; give me only pure love and devotion
