Anagha’s offering to Amma
Anagha (13), from Pala – Kottayam, could not attend Amma’s 54th birthday in Amritapuri on Sep 27th. While sitting in the classroom she composed a four-line prayer in Malayalam. Anagha recited this to Amma when she came to Amritapuri, on Sunday the 30th. The poem was so powerful. After listening to this Amma asked the little one that ‘are you going to make me cry?’
Here is the prayer.
In the ocean of sorrow, I am always crying.
With a smile, when will you remove my sorrows, oh Devi?
Are you becoming devoid of compassion?
Is it your desire that my mind should be filled with thoughts always?
In the twilight hours, with songs of devotion, I will prostrate daily to your Holy Feet,
Oh, you who is borne of the nectar.
its too difficult to translate into English. sorry.
if you know Malayalam you will enjoy it better.

While going though Anagha’s offering, I could’nt read it as tears covered the lines. How a little one’s mind is close to AMMA while she is away at school. Every line in the poem make us to think of the little one’s mind. May AMMA bless her. And to Swamiji: Should make sure that this poem would come in Matruvani in her own language as all the would could also go through.
Very touching. It is difficult to prevent tears from falling down when you hear this innocent recital. Thanks to Dhyanji.

It is so beautiful that I could keep listening to it many times! Thanks for taking the effort to record this beautiful young girl’s innocent prayer and devotion. I too found it very difficult to control my tears listening to her. May her prayers be answered and I hope we also can pray like her.
