21 dec, Kodungallur – bharata yatra 2007 When Amma reached Kodungallur it was already 6 pm. the hostel children of Amrita Vidyalayam welcomed Amma with padpuja.

16 December 2007, Amritapuri Amma left for the North Kerala tour last night. While I will, of course, miss seeing her, her energy permeates every grain of sand and particle of air in the ashram so on another level I don’t feel like she is gone. As I do on every trip here, I have been […]
14 Dec 2007, Amritapuri The bhajans tonight were pure bliss combining old and new ones nicely. Etrayo Nalayi never leaves me cold and Parinamamiyalatta is also a gem.
