Three Triveni Sangamas
Any confluence of rivers is holy for an Indian. Three Triveni Sangamas became blessed by Amma this India Tour time. How is that? Some of our river- sisters had cherished a dream for a long time.

Birds in free air
On the tour, among other things Amma posed before us two questions, on two different occasions.
