She Knows?
An update on Santiago. The weather prior to yesterday was setting 30 year records for cold – in the 20’s. Amma comes and the days are very nice (still quite cold at night). The bhajans last night seemed especially powerful. After each bhajan, the crowd applauded. I sat next to a local first timer who

Mother in Chile
Mother’s first South American tour started in Santiago, Chile. No one could expect what would come. When Mother arrived the sun was shining, the sky was blue, clear air, but it was freezing cold. It is winter time in the Southern Hemisphere of the Earth. Los Andes, the South American mountains pass by Santiago and

Amazing for a primarily Catholic country. Amma is amazingly focused on Her duty! The people are innocent and joyful in their adoration of Her.

Grand Finale
Mata Rani Grand Finale – (finally!) Toronto Tonight was the second night of the Toronto Retreat – the last stop on the North American Tour. It would be the last chance for us to hear Amma sing Mata Rani – if the Divine Mother’s Grace and Will wished it. And so as the darshan line

Blissful Seat
Om Namah Shivaaya, This was the day of Devi Bhava in NewYork. The puja just got over and Amma started giving darshan, wearing a beautiful red saree. I went for dinner and came back in the hall. My mind wanted me to sit in the hall and listen to the bhajans, the other thought was

Grace & Love from DC & NY
When Amma arrived in Washington DC on sunday July 8th it was standing room only. Some might attribute this to it being a weekend day but this devotee attributes it to Amma’s Wonder and Grace calling out with Her Supreme Divine Love catching hold of us one at a time to let us all know
