The descending of this Universal Consciousness in human form as Amma – A poet’s vision: One moment in the Timeless Expanse of Consciousness. God was browsing the vast universe. God wanted to take form, to become manifest in a form. God went round scanning the space like one does Google Earth, looking for a place […]
Amma sang an interesting set of bhajans last night. The song Tatanavitunnu is one a bit more rarely heard and one of that addresses the divine as father:You are our Father, we your children. We are the flowers born on the soil of this earth. Blinded by the dust of the world, We have strayed […]
Amma was in a very good mood during bhajans, joking a lot with Swamiji and Ramu. Someone had decorated the stage with some greenery tonight. The background singer girls had to almost sit inside a little garden. Maybe because Amma was today talking about the importance of developing a relationship with nature that someone decided […]
Last night Amma sang the following bhajans: Shyama Sundara Manamiruntuven Uttama Premattin Dipka Na Janu (Hindi) Makaranda Madhurya (Telungu) Kannunirkondu Nin Om Namah Shivaya Alarnda Chutavizhi (Tamil) Jai Jai Jai Durga Maharani (Hindi) Manamiruntuven is a really beautiful prayer: The sky has become darkened like my brooding mind . Both the clouds and my eyes […]

There were 15 courageous men and women among us, carrying shovels and buckets in our hands and more than a little trepidation in our hearts. Since there were 10,000 hungry Tulasi plants waiting to be fed in a field about 2km north […]
7 Sep 2007, Amrtapuri Tonights Bhajans were a blissful cavalcade of old bhajans. Amma was in a deeply absorbed mood and it felt like she was just radiating bliss. I found myself moving closer to her all through the bhajans. Nin Premam Kondenne must be one of the most beautiful songs ever. What need have […]
6 September 2007, Amritapuri The impact of Amma arriving on the stage for bhajans just never seems to diminish. I always feel a thrill as she’s approaching, as does everyone I suppose. I wondered tonight what the impact of Amma’s arrival must be on people who see her only for example once a year. I […]
05 September 2007, Amritapuri For the past month, barely a day has gone by without rain. Sometimes it comes unexpectedly, dark clouds on the horizon over the ocean. Other times, it lingers like a drizzle, occasionally turning into downpours. Day or night. Amritapuri is wet, muddy. Puddles linger in front of the cafe. We dodge […]
