Amma finished her programs in Mananthavadi, visited 3 houses before leaving for Mysore. Traveling through the forests crossing the borders of Kerala and Karnataka, we reached Mysore in the evening around 3.50. Summer has started here, the forest is dry. I could not see any wild animals on the way. Saw only a few monkeys. […]
It was baby-feeding time at the end of darshan in Mananthavadi. Early mornig 3.a.m. Today there were 20 babies for Annaprash. The last set of parents had 4 children to be fed by Amma belonging to the same parents. All delivered in one birth! The fifth one died immediately after the delivery. Oh my god. […]
Mananthavadi is a beautiful place. The ashram is on top of a hill in the town. From the top you see a range of mountains around. We are staying in the Amrita Vidyalayam here. Amma is just two rooms down the veranda. Today Amma sang kannunir kondu nin padam kazhukam. It was intoxicating. There was […]
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. Amma was leaving for the North Indian Tour and […]

Especially in Trissur, which is a land of temples, elephants and festivals. We saw a lot of temples and celebrations. The area around the temples is divided […]
The trip from Ramanathapuram to Kanyakumari was interesting in the sense that you see the typical Indian villages and their life. You pass through the rice fields, sugarcane fields, bananas and coconuts then to barren lands. Then you come across small mountains. Then cultivation of fans. Yes big fans… Nagarkovil is the district in Tamil […]
Saying Hello Just before 1pm, the Ashram began to buzz with anticipation of Amma’s arrival back from Sri Lanka. As usual, the question was which entrance would Amma arrive through. Most people anticipated the north entrance – Her car would pass by the Girl Student Dorm, past the Flats, through the gate, past the Temple, […]
Yesterday during sunset, while laying in savasana after doing IAM on the rooftop of the ‘S’ flats, I caught a glimpse of another flock of Kites (eagles) slowly circling above on an air current near the south entrance to the Ashram. Sitting up, I noticed another even larger flock circling further to the north – […]
