  • iPhone and Amma

    Boston Thursday, July 17th, 2008 From Question & Answer session during the retreat: Question: Amma, these days we are self indulgent with ‘I’ Pod, ‘I’ Phone, etc. How do we change from this egoistic ‘I’ Phone to ‘We’ Phone? Amma’s Answer: Share your I-Phone with everyone and you pay the bill! Even if the world is saying ‘I’, we can try to create a change. Even if we cannot remove an ocean, we can try to remove a drop of water from it and that much water will be reduced from the ocean. May divine Grace bless us all. –…

  • Value of Mahatmas

    17 Jun 2008, Los Angeles Om Amriteswaryai Namaha, Amma and all of us are in Los Angeles and programmes are going on very well. The number of people is increasing every year and because of that there is no time for Amma to rest. Many Amma devotees are worried about the recent agitations against the Ashram. Many are sending letters to Amma. Amma says, children, our Ashram has the foundation of Satya and Dharma. Nobody can destroy it. Growth of this institution is because of sacrifice. Love, sacrifice and patience that is what  people should have in this modern world. We should…

  • I am free

    I was raised in a close-minded, dogmatic church in Texas where I was raised with doctrine so strict that it turned me off to religion.  I am glad I responded instead to my spiritual yearnings and curiosity rather than the fear of my upbringing because I was able to receive the blessing of my first darshan on July 10 in NYC. I got nervous as I approached her and the company of my boyfriend (a devout follower of the Divine Mother) helped me overcome my trepidation to embrace her.  With open heart, I leaned into her Divine Grace and was…

  • Chicago Devibhaa

    Chicago, Sunday, July 6th, 2008 – Devi Bhava Devi Bhava started at 7 PM with Amma’s satsang followed by an Atma Puja. Amma started giving darshan at around 9 PM. Amma was wearing a beautiful, violet saree. Whenever Amma wears a saree in a blue shade, She reminds us of Krishna!
