On the first day after returning from Reunion and Mauritius Amma sang many of the new songs from the tour. Most have not yet been published in the bhajan supplements. Maybe it was better to just stare at Amma rather than the books on the first day. The songs were: Manasa ChoraOru Nalum PiriyattoMere Hridaya […]

Amrita Setu was put to its first test this morning. But it was no tsunami warning. Instead, it was a Procession of Love as about 1000 or so ashramites followed Amma as she crossed the bridge over the backwaters to Valikkavu where her car was waiting.
