When Amma Wills
When Amma Wills it……………….. Snowflake after snowflake bombarded from the skies above. I looked to the picture of Amma and asked Her had she not tested me enough? It was the night prior to our departure to Dearborn. A few hours ago; we received a phone call from another satsang member offering us a room for Prem to rest when we got there. I went to bed hoping that we will indeed get to see Amma the next day. This whole week has been so volatile; with Prem’s health and now the weather……are we ever going to see Amma? The…

Sarvam Amma Mayam
6 Dec 2007 My trust with intellectual spirituality ended the day I was first blessed with a darshan of Amma – then began the blessed period of experiential spirituality. Everyday she makes sure I see Her /feel Her presence – as though telling me that She is always there with me [and surely with each and everyone who has been fortunate to be in Her Divine presence]. In every place of worship I am reminded of Amma and see Her divine form – not different from the deity but merging with the idol of worship. On the 30th of November,…

She sings again!
Recently we all visited Holy Mount Arunachala and set out on Giriprakhsina. In our group, the one person who walked effortlessly more than half the distance and still ready to go on was our Kakki ( aunt ). To me this is a miracle. Kakki who is now 70 plus, has been a heart patient for quite some years. She had always been of delicate health with high BP and diabetes and Kakkappa ( uncle ) has always been taking good care of her. Kakki is a musician who has given Karnatic music performance on All India Radio Mysore, Bangalore,…

get married again
amma stayed in the school building in kodungallur. after the morning darshan she stayed in the ashram building which is at the program site. the ashram building has only 3 small rooms. kodungalllur is the first brahmasthanam temple established by Amma. kodungallur is also home to the first amrita vidyalayam. it was nice to see the first ever enrolled student of amrita vidyalayam who had just became a doctor (Dr. Gokul) garlanding amma on the stage yesterday. all the school children and the devotees gave him a big applause. Amma has special connection with the devotees here. most of them…

Discovering the inner
I recall 13 years ago in Seattle, my three year old daughter and I were granted an unexpected darshan with Amma. It was our second opportunity to meet with this inspiring Saint from India named “Amma”. However, when we arrived late at the Church of Truth that Monday evening, the hall was filled to capacity with over seven thousand in attendence!! I sighed and told my daughter Daelyn that the crowd was so large that we would probably not stay …It didn’t look too likely that we would meet Amma without waiting for hours…definately far past my daughter’s bedtime. At…

miss peace
Just returned home after my 1st retreat w/ Amma in San Ramon. It is very challenging to come back into the world and I miss Amma and the community of peace and love that surrounds Amma. Grateful without measure and no real way to articulate all the love and grace yet. Thank you. Om Namah Shivayah susanne haugen, ca, usa 27 nov 06.

Prema Pizza
We all got ready to visit the San Ramon ashram early Sunday morning. When we reached there we were surprised to see a long line for Darshan tokens. Amazing that on the first day of public Darshan so many people both old-timers and many new faces had come. When Amma enetered the Hall at 10:00am there was not a space left inside the temple. Every nook and cranny had people. Amma saw this and asked people especially those with kids to sit on the stage. Thinking of Her children’s comfort to the last minute Amma started giving Darshan and moving…
