Last night for the first Amma’s Satsang and bhajans were cast through the web from Switzerland for the joy of us all here. Previously it has been Devi Bhava’s only, but during the last program and bhajans Amma was reportedly thinking about everybody here in Amritapuri and thought how nice it would be if all Her children here could also participate in them. So the connection was put up.

It was really sweet as Amma could also see all of us here and kept looking at us through the web-cam. She even pointed out to Swamiji to take a look as some of the brahmacharis were playing around in front of the camera to catch her attention. Somehow it was all very touching. Amma really kept turning her head so often to her right at the web-cam that I thought it must look a bit odd to the people in the crowd. It seemed to me that She almost could not help herself but had to take a peak again and again. And the expression on Her face was so tender and at the same time innocent and full of wonder – like a child discovering something new.

I’m happy to be able to report again the bhajans that She sang in Switzerland:

Ganeshaya Namah Om
Syamavarna Sundaranga (Hari Bol Hari Bol)
Shiva Shiva Hara Hara
Ishwari Jagadishwari (in german I think, the connection was a bit fuzzy at this point)
Om Hari Om
Jinki Karuna Hai Apar

After the bhajans Amma started giving darshan and again talked to everybody here.
At that point it was almost 2 am here and everybody hurried to get some sleep before Archana and the morning Vedanta class.
The look on Amma’s face is still vividly imprinted in my mind from last night as, I’m sure, it is in everybody else’s.
