meeting amma and experiences

  • A priceless return gift

    ‘Its such an auspicious day’…. is what I thought of when I opened my eyes on the morning of 27th September 2011. I scrabbled for my Amma’s photo on my table next to my bed and wished her a Happy Birthday with a birthday kiss and a big hug… tears welled up in my heart

  • Dream and Reality

    Do you believe in the realisation of dreams?  Does a dream ever come true?  Have you ever met a stranger who appeared in your dreams?  If you asked these questions to anyone… they would surely be puzzled and amazed.  We asked the same questions to Ghanshyam and his response was spontaneous and affirmative.

She reminded me of the last program day in Pune last March. At the end of the program,

  • Always with me

    Om Namah Shivaya! I bow to my divine Mother, Amma, who watches over me with love. It has been 3 years now since I had Amma’s darshan: I got excited when I saw Amma’s poster for her Delhi program in 2007. I called up the Delhi Ashram and I was given directions to reach the

  • Silent reassurance

    It’s been more than fifteen years now, when I first saw Amma giving darshans and fell in love with her after getting her hug. Many experiences have got me to the realisation that Amma is not bound by the limits of her physical body and that she will transcend the barriers of time, space and
