Supreme Love that lights up all creation
My celebration of Christmas began on the beach in the late afternoon of December 24th. The waves were rushing to the shore reverberating against the rocks. The sea breeze cooled us. Eagles circled overhead. Several hundred devotees were sitting around Amma under the palms; cross-legged on the sand before her, perched on chairs and leaning

I was naked and you clothed Me
24 Dec 2010, Amritapuri Another Christmas – so very meaningful when you are in the Divine Presence of a Master. And a play by Amma’s western children which was a reflection of the love they felt for their Master, Amma. The scenes were perfect, the execution wonderful. A true labour of love. At one point

Uttama Premattin … at the German Ashram
We left Spain in the afternoon; following the Rhone River to the North up through France and into Germany, where the river was the same, but the name was now the Rhine. Another reminder that water is the same, though called by many different names and so as Amma says, the Truth is One, called

Amma, Ven a Mi Corazon
Dusky grey-green olive leaf branches fanning from twisted black tree trunks on tan fields, the jagged, blue-grey pinnacles of Mountserrat rising like a Disney castle in the distance; the Spanish ashram could not be more picturesquely located. These peaks are the home of the Black Madonna of Mountserrat, now overlooking the abode of the white

Om Shanti, On the Way to Spain
Despite being up all night, some of us really wanted to enjoy the magnificent scenery as we crossed the Pyrenees mountains and over the French-Spanish border. We passed the rectangular boxlike farmhouses with their classic red-tiled roofs. They looked like children’s drawings of houses nestled among the autumn vineyards with their vibrant red and yellow

Promenade in Toulon
In the brief period between programs we decided to get some fresh air and walk to the ocean a few minutes away from the hall. On the way to Toulon, Amma had wanted to stop with group at the seashore, but the weather was against us. It was raining heavily as we approached the sea.

Amma s Kindergarten
All of Amma’s programs in the West offer childcare. Switzerland had a beautiful area for the children, full of crafts projects. In Holland we saw them making origami and paper flowers: tulips, of course! We were curious to see what they would offer in Germany, because this country is so well-known for its emphasis on

Eco tour in Europe with Amma
In all the cities on the Europe tour we could see Amma’s teachings on protecting the environment and respecting nature being put into practice. All the programs had recycling and composting of all the waste generated. Near the kitchen there were huge containers for separating the hard and soft plastic, paper and organic waste. Inside

Om abala-gopa-viditayai namah
Paris Devi Bhava, 2010 There were two notable special needs children in Paris. One blonde be-speckled boy kept storming the stage during bhajans to get to Amma. He tried every mode of ingress and at meditation time, he finally managed to elude his parents and the security people to slip onto the peetham beside Amma.
