8 Feb, Kannur, Bharata yatra 2008
Last night we arrived at the Talassery Amrita Vidyalayam which will be our accommodation for both the public and the Brahmasthanam programs.
I’ve always liked the northern parts of Kerala for retaining a great deal of tradition, Kannur especially, so the bus ride was an enjoyment rather than tiring. I especially like the traditional Keralan houses and architecture and wonder why people decided to abandon that type of dwellings for modern concrete boxes that are mostly so uninspiring. I guess the reasons are economic.
The program is being held at the Kannur stadium and the crowd is huge. It is difficult to estimate numbers but all i can say that looking down from the stage where i’m sitting it looks like an ocean of humanity. Amma started darshan sometime ago and looks very happy, most likely because so many of her children have showed up and will soon be in her loving arms. Anyone else would surely be completely shaken by such a sight, but for Amma it is one more chance to share joy and love and change many lives for the better. I’m guessing that the program might go until noon tomorrow.
Amma looks very radiant and beautiful.
Viswanath
