The journey has begun
13 Feb – Bharata Yatra 2010
We’re sitting on a dusty road side, probably next to the Kerala – Karnataka border. The sleepless night, the truck loading and the endless bus ride leaves no doubt: we’re now on tour. Her loving gaze caresses us, one after the other. And as the sun sets on this Shivaratri day, She reminds us of its profound meaning.
Wake up She says, and forget not the Lord. Rise from your usual slumber to prevent the poison of ignorance from consuming your time. Make awareness the center of your life.
Wake up She says, and She means it. Thousand times a day, She brings us to our limits, She tests our determination. Thousand times a day, She makes us face these infinite little choices that are the seal of a genuine spiritual quest. She tirelessly points to our weaknesses and complacencies.
It’s been three days only since we left Amritapuri and already we know that it is there, in the insignificant details, in the subtle inner moods that this journey will finally make sense. All the rest, the crowds, the noise and the discomforts are just means to shake our certainties and make us available for another Truth, make space for Her inside. The journey has begun.

Waiting for YOU, PONNU AMME.Submissions onto THY Divine Lotus Feet.
Dorian, you are one of those few blessed ones who are with Amma on this tour… My heart had been longing for this opportunity for so long… Hope Amma will bless me one day by letting me be with her on the Bharata Yatra tour one time, before the journey of my life with this body ends…
Mother’s grace blessed me to do the 2004 Yatra. It was the deepest, most profound spritual journey, within and without, the significance of which is still unfolding in my life and will still unfold for many years…Mother’s grace is infinite..Jai Ma!
This life will become a terrible nightmare or even worse than that if won’t let our subconscious go inward and realize her. Please god, I don’t want to waste any more time. Please help me..
