Tokyo, July 27, 2010:
Amma was wearing a beautiful golden saree with red border. One of the devotees described Amma in that saree as “Sinduraruna vigraham” (Meditate on the Divine Mother, who has a body of the color of saffron/vermilion-red).
The Tokyo program was made possible by the tireless efforts of the sevites. One could see people doing seva in every corner of the hall and outside (snack shop, kitchen).

When Devi Bhava ended, Amma came out of the temple and started walking towards Her car. Then She stopped and looked at all the sevites and asked them to come closer. In appreciation of all their efforts, Amma wanted to take a group photo with all the sevites from Tokyo. There must have been about 200 sevites and they all happily surrounded Amma for a photo. Amma asked them to say “Namah Shivaya” – they did, which made them smile. The sevities around Amma looked like colorful butterflies surrounding a beautiful flower – Amma!
