Red….or was it maroon? Again, the conflicting images on the main screen and the laptop made it hard to determine the true color. Someone said ‘looks like Campbell Soup red’. Another said ‘almost red’. Yet another said it was ‘so red, not an off-red, not pink. It was bright, flaming red.’
Anyway, there was big balloon sitting next to Amma during the end of Devi Bhava that pretty much matched Her sari. Some child had given it to her during darshan. I’ve never seen a maroon balloon, and since red is common balloon color, by process of fuzzy color logic, Amma’s sari was probably also very red.
After Amma had finished showering flower petals on the gathered crowd, Amma threw some at the camera – showering all of us here as well. Then when Amma went in the Mandapam, the laptop was eventually brought inside and we chatted for about 10 minutes with Her.
It’s such a blessing to see Amma over the web every few days. We all miss Her so much. And just those brief moments when Amma is chatting with us makes it that much easier to be here without her physical presence. The other evening, Amma called for bhajans to be broadcast here – it was around midnight and unfortunately I missed it as I am fighting a virus and needed to rest. But I could hear it from my room. Amma sang ‘Mata Rani’ and when she shouted ‘Mata Rani Ki…..’ the whole Ashram resounded with ‘Jai!!!’. I even managed to lift my hands up in the air and respond as well. After bhajans and Arati, Amma had the laptop brought right next to Her chair and She proceeded to chat with us while She was giving darshan. I hope Amma does this again so that I can see it.
Next Devi Bhava sari color challenge: Milan.
