  1. Listening to Amma’s Bhajans, just before she left for her two month tour.
    Don’t know why ! 🙂

  2. Just 2 days ago I was thinking how Amma is dedicated in uplifting people around the world, and then, I suddenly became aware of how I’m always thinking of my little self and I cried to Amma to change my heart and mind so I can be dedicated at Her lotus feet to become part of the Divine Mission and move away from the delusional self.

  3. Last night I was weeping for 45min because the man i love so deeply does not respond to me.
    I have to remind myself that this is all transient, including the pain itself. I feel better this morning.

  4. Ever since I can remember I used to go to the Guruvayur temple every year. Inside the sanctum sanctorum, I would see many people shedding tears as the door (“nada”) to the shrine opened. I wondered why these people cried and thought they were mentally weak. I said to myself that I don’t feel anything while I am here. Years passed and in 2004 met Amma and inspite of fighting hard to control my tears (lest my wife and kids see it) they came out just before the first hug. In subsequent darshans, I could not hold it back at all. That’s when I realized the power of devotion and the crushing of the ego.

  5. I cried yesterday at the thought that my beloved Amma will be here so soon. I have waited so long, and it has been so hard.

  6. By Amma’s grace, after many years we got to buy an apartment which is very near Amma’s Math in chennai. and i cried so much on the house-warming day, as Amma was not physically present in the function. also could not invite anyone from the math as only i am a devotee of Amma in my family. i know Amma is present in everyone. and later i chinned up a bit when a person who is close to me, knows about Amma and my dilemma and attended the function. i felt Amma had come in the form of that person.

  7. This very morning, when my sister entered the operating room for a very delicate surgery in the neck…
    It was only tears (not crying)…
    I didn’t really cry since very long time.
    Thanks to God and with Amma’s help the operation was very successful. SHE was with us all the time. For me Amma gives me only the smiles and happiness and fulfillment, never tears and crying… I don’t really know why…

  8. I cry almost every day, my beloved Amma gave permisstion for center here in Auckland but we are not able to generate enough funds because of the recession. I know Amma will make a way and hoping the day to come soon and She said she is coming here next year.
    I don’t really know why i am crying and i have be on my own and pray sincererly. Rest of the things are in Amma’s hand.

  9. In recent days, not exactly to be mentioned or to be counted, I realized how stupid one’s mind could go wrong and lend himself or herself in troubles, I prayed and cried to AMMA to save Her children.

  10. DEAREST MOTHER AMMA…YES I HAVE CRIED AND CRIED AND CRIED AS I LOOKED AT YOUR PICTURE… BEGGING FOR THE BLISS OF YOUR EXPERIENCE WITHIN MY HEART…. THANKS BELOVED ONE FOR YOUR DIVINE GIFT

  11. it’s my dream to visit mount Kailas….too big of a dream for a young girl!!
    evreyday, i visit the Vadakkumnathan Siva temple in my hometown, and pray to the Lord, that someday i can make it ther…
    and everyday invariably, i end up shedding silent tears… but, i believe, crying out for God is the worthiest prayer.. 🙂

  12. right now, as i read the notes of love to Our Darling Mother from all Her children.
    right now, as i read that it was drizzling just after Amma left as the archana was being chanted at Amritapuri ..Vallickaavu skies must have shed tears seeing Her leave all Her Brahmachari children behind physically
    right now, as i read Amma is in Kobe and her programme is to start tomorrow!

  13. i’m crying right now from watching the darshan movie and thinking about amma’s bhava samadhi

  14. Until now, no last tears! At any moment, tears may fill in the eyes or roll down!! i am struggling to overcome by my “moha”, the attachment in a relationship. i strongly feel that, because of this ‘moha’, i would slip away from my AMMA and i would not reach HER. The pang of seperation burns me. Irrespective of place and time, tears appear.

  15. It happened this week, two days ago. I truly don’t know why I started crying like that, but within I could say it felt like healing, a long time healing process came to an end on that very day I think. When I was looking for an explanation to my mood, I had the visual of Mother’s face in my mind. I ended the day with more tears thinking of how thankful I am toward the Guru, & the Divine Mother; Amma. Amma is the very cause of everything in my life. Thank you Beloved Mother!

  16. Today morning, for reaching AMMA

  17. Real tears should be for Amma. Every day when I do my Manasa padapuja, tears come to my eyes. Crying for worldly things is not really crying. It is screaming or weeping.
    I cried strongly in front of others in January while leaving Amritapuri. I couldn’t control the spang of seperation with my beloved Amma. Amma was going to the stage for the bhajans and i was standing down Amma’s room. Amma gave me sweet kiss and hugged me and asked me which train I was taking! Whenever this memory comes to mind, tears start scrolling down again…

  18. Last sunday when I had a dream of the aftermath of Amma’s death. It was so sad, that I couldn’t look at a photo of Amma for that whole day. I woke up 3 times in the night with tears in my eyes, but every time I’d fall back asleep, the dream would continue. When I woke up in the morning, I was crying and it took a while to convince myself that it was only a dream.

  19. Early morning today, while performing Manasa Pooja and Archana. It’s my daily routine and I feel contented only when I cry while performing pooja or singing bhajan or partake in any spiritual practice. I could not control myself at that point and just cry helplessly. Amma Sharanam.

  20. How did you know that i cried today ? Did Amma tell you? Last night i had a very good dream of Amma in which my head lay in her lap for a long time. we did’nt speak anything. i could feel Amma’s love so much. She is so beautiful and great.

  21. I am still cyring for my AMMA as I have a feeling that AMMA is not around me and I am left alsone. I have no existence without her. Please on my behalf I request everyone to pray to AMMA that she is always with me.

  22. I read “SEEING OFF” post – sweetest gesture and message by Amma. I felt she was talking to me also.
    Then I watched the video of darshan in Seattle, May 30th – purest LOVE. How beautiful!
    I started sobbing and the tears keep bursting forth – such amazing, healing love. Even to watch.

  23. This morning.
    I was awoken by my father and rushed to get breakfast with him, impatiently. As I sat in the restaurant, I couldn’t help but tear up, thinking about how hard I try not to blame others… How hard I try to be patient with everyone and give them what they need, but when it comes to what I need… Love, patience, understanding… In many cases it seems it is pushed aside by someone else who doesn’t recognize the sacrifices I make, because they are only aware of what is important to them.

  24. The last time i cried was when my elder brother died, it was 2001. he drowned in the sea.

  25. I cried last night while seeing a movie about sad things – what gets done in the name of war. And felt helpless about doing anything to help, except pray.

  26. Almost daily, when i think of my worthless existence and how im wasting my time daily…………

  27. Today. My son, who has been off drugs for 4 years, is using again. The hard stuff. I am crying because he was so sweet a month ago and gave me an orchid for Mother’s Day. Now he is dark, loud, disrespectful and nods when I talk to him. I am so sad that he will be sicker than before. He almost died a dozen times. I pray to Amma every day. Drugs are so evil!

  28. Like AMMA was earlier, I cry frequently while praying & am happy afterward. crying & laughing like a child.

  29. Just two, three days back… Because there was no peace in my mind..
