miss peace
Just returned home after my 1st retreat w/ Amma in San Ramon. It is very challenging to come back into the world and I miss Amma and the community of peace and love that surrounds Amma. Grateful without measure and no real way to articulate all the love and grace yet. Thank you. Om Namah

Finger of Grace
The other night we were again watching Amma via web-cam, this time in Her ashram in San Ramon. Okay, I’ll go straight to the point – that is the babies. What babies? At the end of the Devi-bhava Amma often does baby feeding, that is blesses them by giving them some food with Her own

Silent dance of Bliss
The roof of the flats offers much solace after a long days work of seva. As the sun begins to set, I often head up there and lie on my back just looking up at the clouds and out into the infinite. The other evening while resting in Savasana, I looked up to find about

Prema Pizza
We all got ready to visit the San Ramon ashram early Sunday morning. When we reached there we were surprised to see a long line for Darshan tokens. Amazing that on the first day of public Darshan so many people both old-timers and many new faces had come. When Amma enetered the Hall at 10:00am

Mosaic Darshan
Today Amma’s European tour ended in Dublin, Ireland. The Internet connection was poor, but hopefully the connection of the heart all the more strong. Amma was wearing a green sari. I like the green sari, because the first time I saw Amma in Devi-bhava, She was wearing a green sari. The picture kept breaking into

Karmic Physics
I’ve been teaching a course in semiconductor physics here at the Engineering College of Amrita University, a ten minute walk across the new backwaters bridge from the ashram. The electrons in semiconductors and metals chaotically move around with average speeds of a hundred thousand kilometers per second, first one way, then the other, and then
