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 […]
Amma sang a nice set of lively bhajans tonight. There were many children present on the stage which is always nice, providing they don’t get too wild. Amma turns to look at the children every now and then to see what they are up to, and then it’s possible to catch her beautiful smile. Yamuna […]
Tonight’s bhajans were beautiful and energetic beyond comparison – One of those evenings when you really appreciate the fact that you are present. The newer song Lila Atbhuta caused some problems for the musicians but which Amma beautifully straightened out. Karuna Nir Katale always stands out and never fails to inspire. Songs for the night […]
When I had a deep desire to give water to the ashramite with wings (the eagle), I didn’t know what was in store for me. The other day I’d seen some Brahmacharis giving water to our friend (who is a nightmare for some since he / she snatches food from their plates). I thought then […]
The bhajans tonight were a mixture of old and new. So old that everyone knew them by heart and so new that everyone seemed clueless. It was fun observing Amma interacting with the musicians and giving them instructions on how to tackle the songs. She is so sweet when mildly scolding people around her. Songs […]
13 Dec 2008, Amritapuri CHANGE! The regular visitors to Amritapuri would certainly vouch for that. Amritapuri has been adorned with a number of new modifications over the past couple of months. The holy cows of Amritapuri have been put up in a new home. A new, more spacious cowshed has been constructed by the backwaters […]
The bhajans were delightful as always. So much so that one little boy couldn’t contain himself but ran up the ramp to sit with Amma on the peetham. The songs of the evening were: Gopala Gokula Govardhana Anandamritarupini Amme Makaranda Madhurya Durge (kannada) Pati Pukazhttuvan Etrayo Nalayi Bholanatha Re Amma Amma Taye Towards the end […]
The bhajans tonight were just pure bliss. Especially as Amma sang older songs like Agamanta Porule, the atmosphere was bursting with the presence of the Divine. Music is such an inspiring thing when it is used as a means to go deep within. In Mothers hands it becomes something completely transcendent. The songs were: Krishna […]
The moment arrived yesterday at around 1 pm, when Amma’s tour caravan pulled up in front of the temple and the thirsting of her children was quenched by the sight of her gracious form. The life and soul of the ashram was reinstated and the hearts of everyone once again overflowed with light. For those […]
