Total service and devotion to Amma!
No other activity could be recommended as my favorite.
silentyogi
Doing yoga in the evening… that is the favorite activity these days.. it may change sooner or later.
Sitting near AMMA is my all time favorite activity. but it some time turns into a sad activity when the stage monitors wont let me sit near AMMA for more than ” 3 hours “. 🙂 but i have found some ways to Trick them…. No no no.. i wont share that …. 🙂
priya
after finishing all the household chores, i just love listening to carnatic music and bhajans of Amma. i feel so close to Amma on listening to the carnatic songs. especially i love carnatic songs sung by smt. gayathri girish. on listening to the carnatic songs sung by her, i feel the presence of our beloved Amma!!
ammasnimmy
It depends…everyday i check our website amritapuri.org….first AMMA’s programs after that blogs……….but at the end of the day nothing can give me satisfaction other than my daily prayers…if i do it with full dedication ….i will be very happy at the end of the day…..
savithri
talking to Amma’s photo every day while decorating Her Photo and Padukas with flowers is my favourite activity. it gives me a feeling she is present there and is hearing my ‘say’
ammakuttan
Matruvani….
Krishnalila
Singing bhajans to my Krishna Bhava photo. And also having a successful day of chanting my mantra all day.
ammasmol
usually the day starts by feeding few birds which throng the neem tree.and ofcourse the day ends by reading a good book before going to bed.Trying to do every single activity thinking amma is what iam striving to acheive.
sripati
Doing IAM on the roof of the ‘S’ flats while the sun is setting – Satvic answer. Mealtime – Rajasic. Sleeping in or reading the local ‘Times of India’ or ‘Outlook’ magazines – Tamasic.
sujatha
Truthfully it is sleep! That is the only time my non-stop chattering mind is quiet and I get some bliss 🙂
The waking activity I am fond of is talking to Amma in my mind.
marcie
When the heart is with Amma, and when the mind is sustained in stillness and silence. Those times of the day are thanksliving.
vijayane
what i want to do i am not able to do. ie. i want to think of amma but end up otherwise.
sarar
Coming to this site to see what Amma is saying.
cbsuresh
My most favourite activity is doing IAM in the early hours of the day…. and the next most favourite activity is chanting Lalitha Sahasranaamam and Amma’s ashtotharam during the evening prayers….
chandran
Doing puja early in the morning [after IAM Tech meditation] and in the evening. I would only be satisfied if I could cry uncontrollably, just gazing at Amma’s photo. Talking with Her, questioning/quarrelling [about the negativities around me] during puja leeds me a different state. I could feel Her presence many a times.
saleena
I love beeing alone, singing with Amma`s cd, listening Her voice and beeing in bliss. Also serving my family gives me joy, I am very happy when I have time for my children.
aumsree
– Listening to the devotional songs and let myself in bliss. (Here is a piece… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkMRBHz-XH8 )
– Practise classical music lessons.
– Contemplation on AMMA’s teachings. Selfless service to AMMA brings ‘bliss’ every moment.

Singing bhajans, chanting Mantra and reading through latest posts on this site…
jagadambe29
That’s a good question. It kind of depends on the day. I like going in my room feeling safe and secure, where I can talk to Amma freely, say my mantra, listen to bhajans, and just be who I am inside. I love reading on my bed with my warm fleece blanket and just feel so good inside!
aruna_amma
Meditating on AMMA’s sheer beauty and grace in whatever i do and through whatever i do…:)
AMMAKALI
Going with AMMA on HER TOURS!!Being near HER physically !! SInging bhajans with AMMA leading!! Listening to HER speak!!Listening to HER SATSANG!!Although it doesnt happen everyday I wish it was my activity for the day!!
luckysoul
Early morning mentaly doing pathapooja then Amma’s Asthotram after that doing I AM Meditatio. At my workplace remember Amma’s form and chant my manthra as much as possible.
Girish
Morning bath, lighting the lamp and prayer. Bath purifies the body and prayer purifies the mind. This is the perfect way of begining the day.
yaraamaryllis
I love to sit in front Amma’s picture and dream she is huging me, i’m taking care of her body, her hair ,if i could i stay like ths for hours,It makes me feel in peace, ful of love.
ChetanG
Waking and witnessing the ‘personality’ cloud the waking true consciousness slowly. Then till the mind/body sleeps; nothing but witnessing ‘split/mind’ back and forth from sunlight to darkness, again and again.
ana
Sleep at night is my favourite activity. Beacuse I hope to dream of Amma’s feet and experience awake alert state – like I did several nights after her last Bhava darshan. My eyes were closed but my mind was fully attentive and expanded. Amazing experience.
maalanair
I wish I could say like the rest of us here – puja, chanting mantra, thinking of Amma ect. But I can’t. For me, it would be if my daughter, husband and I can spend some time talking and laughing together, forgetting for a while our worries and sadness.
Renu Wadhwa
My favourite acitivity is keep talking to Amma within my mind and I get a response. I am always thinking that how could I meet AMMA physically and when it would be possible for me to go to amritapuri because I want to stay there for a week or so. But no such situation is arising. I keep constantly asking AMMA I want to meet her. Today I spoke at Delhi Ashram enquiring about Matrvani and lo I had a good news that AMMA is coming to Delhi on 9-11th March in Dwarka. They told me that they would get in touch with me on those days. See Amma listens as she is omnipresent. The other best acitivity is getting early in the morning chanting lalitashashranam and 108 names of our AMMA and I feel I am ready to go out in the world and face all the situations.
sureshbalaraman
serving my children and my wife..as they are all wonderful
ThankamaniR
i am not regular in any activities. But the first thing in the morning after I get up from bed is to wash my hands, feet and face and meditate for a while along with the Manasa puja. Nowadays most of my time is sitting in front of the computer or sending sms to my beloved…
