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’. It was a joyous blessing to experience Amma showering all of Her children continuously with Her Divine Grace. The physical darshan or ‘hug’ were moments of timeless completion. Just as blessed were the endless darshans that were also timeless moments of grace. A glance, a smile, a whiff of Her Divine fragrance, a feeling of Her presence within, a glimpse of Her beautiful face and dishevelled hair bobbing in the distance after hours of giving darshan. Her infections laughter and asides to those near Her. Her graceful and purposeful walk.

For me, these were all darshans – and to know this can be received anywhere, anytime is a gift from Amma that I am constantly grateful for.

May our Beloved Amma continue to shower all of us with Her Divine darshan every moment of our lives.

Om Amriteshwaryai Namah
