9 Jan 2008, Amritapuri Amma was giving darshan today in the Temple instead of the Main Hall.   At around 5:30, while meditating on the roof of the ‘S’ flats, I suddenly heard then ‘Sneha Sudhamini’ coming over the Ashram speakers.   It was Swami Amritaswarupananda singing which was quite unusual.  Generally, Ashram residents, International visitors, or […]

1 Jan 2008, Amritapuri People filled the hall in Amritapuri for the New Year’s Cultural Performance. Amma sat in the middle of the hall facing the stage.  At first, no one expected Her to sing. But after the cultural performances, and satsang, Amma suddenly called for the musicians to come close to Her. A scramble for the tablas […]
