Last night was a real party. Flamenco dance, Indian dance and Singing and in the end Amma led everyone in an ecstatic version of Mata Rani. She really brought the roof down this time. After wards there there was Payasam served as prasad as everyone went around hugging each other and wishing each other happy […]
Yesterday as mother came up to the stage she was confronted by a little toddler who would not budge, so mother started prodding him in the back making him move towards the peetham. As she was doing so she was at once scolding him and telling him that if he would do prostrations to the […]
Zurich, 22.12.08 In some countries, one could think Christmas is all about money. Switzerland is sure one of them. That’s why Amma’s children thought to make the best out of it an offered people to shop gifts for charities.
