Remains unchanged

I am a humble artist painter living in Karunagappally  near about 15 Kms away from Mother’s   Ashram.  i have been visiting the Ashram since 1981 onwards. i was happened to hear about Amma from a friend of mine living in Karunagappally town. During my first visiting to the Ashram, there were nothing except a small thatched shed with a small gathering of people singing beautiful Bhajans along with Amma. i was greatly touched by  the beauty of that prayers which I have never seen before. Amma hugged me and kissed me on my cheeks, and murmured , “Ponnu Mone, Kutta” ( Oh!,My dear son). Then I was a student, now grown up, 45 years old , married and father  of six children, receives the same hugging, same love and bliss I have received in the first  hug of Her Divine Grace ! I have changed a lot, the atmosphere of the Ashram also changed, but the Divine Grace she has exchanged in her hugging remains unchanged!!!
