Amma arrived back from Her tour yesterday. As I stayed here for those three weeks it was really sweet to see Her again. She always looks so mysterious and beautiful and you can never get tired of her beauty and grace, but there is even more receptiveness in the mind after being separated for some time. Anyway, everyone knows what I’m talking about so no need for me to go on about it.

The bhajans were sweet. At one point a little girl walked up the ramp towards Mother holding her hands over her ears. Maybe it was too loud for her, I don’t know, but Mother looked at the girl and laughed at her innocence.

Mother sang the Punjabi song Mata Rani Ne Kripa Barsayi, and a few minutes into the song I saw why, as a Punjabi family came up onto the stage. They looked so happy to hear Mother singing in their native tongue just as they arrived. It’s a magnificent song.

The songs tonight were:

Yamuna Tira Vihara
Vyathayariyikkaan
Om Shakti Om Shakti
Nisayute Nirava
Mata Rani Ne Kripa Barsayi
Mauna Ghanamritam
Om Namah Shivaya
Lord Of Vrindavan
Jai Jai Jai Durga Maharani

I reproduce the lyrics for the new punjabi below:

Mata Rani Ne Kripa Barsayi
meri har gal Puri Hundi Ayi
mata Rani Ne Keetti Sunavayi
meri har gal Puri Hundi Ayi
–
The Empress of The Universe has showered Her grace,
All my wishes have come true.
The Divine Mother heard my prayers
All my wishes have come true

Onne mere sare rah khole
mere sare rukke kam pure hoye
meri Maya meri,
meri Maya meri suddh len ayi
meri har gal Puri Hundi Ayi
–
She has cleared all my paths,
Desires that were blocked have been fulfilled
My Mother,
My Mother has come to take my sorrows away
All my wishes have come true

Mata Rani ape daudi daudi ayi
onne har kushi meri jholi payi
meri ambe ne,
meri ambe ne keetti sunavayi
meri har gal Puri Hunid Ayi
–
The Empress of The Universe Herself has come running
She has poured all happiness into my pouch
My Mother,
My Mother heard my prayers
All my wishes have come true

Ajj meri Mayya mere kar ayi
kushiyan de sagar vicch dubki lagayi
meri datti ne,
meri datti ne keeti sunavayi
meri har gal Puri Hundi Ayi
–
Today My Mother has come to my house
I have taken a dip into the ocean of happiness
My Giver,
My Giver heard my prayers
All my wishes have come true
