  1. Amma I promise to be forgiving to myself so I maybe forgiving of others.
    I promise to always chant my mantra.
    And I promise to always follow your instruction the same way I have the last 18 years. To be quiet, to hear your sweet whispers.

  2. I wouldn’t promise anything for I am incapable of holding any promise!

  3. I will never abandon the path to self-realisation. I will act generously and compassionately always. I will communicate the truths I understand for the benefit of others on the path.

  4. To Serve, to Love and to do Good Deeds.

  5. That I will never eat anything more than fish for non-veg. I pray to Amma to give me the strength to remain in this thought forever.

  6. Amma, first of all, without Your grace I cannot fulfill any promise. secondly I dont even know well what things I should promise about. So thirdly and finally, please let me promise whatever You want me to promise to You.

  7. Love for Eternity :: Amritaprema
    Service for Eternity :: Amritaseva
    Devotion to the Lotus Feet :: Sreepada Bhakthi

  8. 1. I will spend as much time as possible on spiritual practices especially chanting my mantra.
    2. I will see Amma in all of Creation and be Her instrument.
    3. I will be happy always.

  9. i feel, i am not anybody to give her a promise..nothing is there in my hand…it is Her WILL that works….i have to ask Her what would they be…and pray to Her to give me the power to keep the promise!

  10. O Amma!! How can I promise you anything when you extend through me and have such a strong grip of my ego?
    How can I promise anything when you are the one in command?
    How can I promise anything when you are bent on breaking my will?

  11. Continuously increasing: devotion for Amma, spiritual practices given by Her, and following Her teachings my entire life. She is my param Guru.

  12. My heart, my mind, and my life.

  13. I Promise AMMA to keep Faith, Compassion and Patience
    LOVE YOU MY DIVINE MOTHER I WANT TO MERGE IN YOU

  14. To promise Amma would be easy, but to stick to that promise would be next to impossible. Best thing would be to assure her that I will pray and chant my mantra sincerely, that I would try to be a good human being: not hurt people by action or word, conquer my negative feelings and develop an abundance of patience, compassion, and faith.

  15. O Amma!!!!!!!!!What shall i say about the promise!!!I am extreemly not capable to do a promise.Rachana is absolutely right. To promise is easy but to keep the promise and maintain it is a very toughf task. But Amma i will surely try my best to maintain the six commandments. Ie Sathyam vada, Dharamamchara, Matru Devo Bhava, Pithir Devo Bhava, Acharya Devo bhava and Athithi Devo Bhava. But this is also possible only if your divine grace is shining in me.

  16. 1. i shall not let You down ,blinded by my greatest infirmity, love..
    2. i shall never forget how You toil for this world,and shall do what i can to remain Yours always.
    3. i shall try my best to keep up my promises to You..
    🙂

  17. Amme… I will nullify all my negative qualities overwriting with positive qualities and be a true devotee and/or Your son.
    I will strive hard to keep up the rhythm to attain my ultimate goal of merging in You … Amme… Please don’t leave me even for a split second. I can’t bear that.
    I am/will be an instrument in Your safe hands. Amme… Please bless me with a quality to quickly identify Your signals, which You always give to me through situations/nimithams and act upon without delay/fail. Now I seldom miss them.
    Unto the Holy Feet of my Amma. Amma Sharanam.

  18. Amma,i would keep the promise i made to keep my wife happy and love her forever with whole heart.I would dedicate my life to serve the needy and would lead a unselfish life,try to be a better and better human being every day.

  19. If amma asks me to say any promise, then I am sure Amma wants to change my attitude. How can I understand Amma’s wish!!!!!! I will walk the way amma shows to me….
