Today is the second day of the personality development camp, Amritam ’07. All I see is kids everywhere, left and right. If one has any prarabdha to do with children I think that gets taken care of during this children’s camp. With so many children who needs more? I’m just joking. It was meditation day […]
It has begun. That is, over two thousand children have arrived in Amritapuri for a personality development camp. Every corner of the ashram is bustling with life and enthusiasm, like it should be.

Karunyamoortte – Embodiment of Compassion Very nice bhajans again tonight, Karunyamurtte being the highlight of them, for me at least.

Today it’s finally happening after a long time – the first Devi Bhava in Amritapuri since 20 months! Many probably already thought that it Amma will not give anymore Devi Bhava darshan in India, so it came as a pleasant surprise when Amma announced that there would be one this Sunday. Many people booked flights […]

Bhajans tonight were really sweet. During Devi Bhagavati Amma was clearly in a realm of bliss. Tears kept rolling out the corners of her eyes.There was a nice new Telugu song called Makaranda Madhurya.
