Amma is back from Kodungalloor and Kozhikode. She looked so fresh and beautiful despite having just given darshan to over a hundred thousand people within the last few days. And her voice was strong and clear, which surprised me, since She must have been talking day and night to devotees, and there is so much dust in the air during public programs.

The bhajans tonight were:

Nanda Nandana Hare
Parinamam Iyalatta
Kali Maheswariye Jaganmata
Sri Rama Jaya Rama
Shyama Gopla Maza
Om Namah Shivaya
Amma Baramma
Jai Ma Ambe

Parinamam Iyalatta always touches me in a deep place. Tonight Amma seemed to be in a deep Bhava during the song. She was gently swaying back and forth with a beautiful but subtle smile on Her face.

Won’t the night be visited by the full moon?
Know Thou not the darkness of my heart?
The days are going by like the dropping of the petals of a flower, yet Thou come not.
