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…

Amma’s Vrindavan
it was amazing to see the devotion of the kozhikode devotees. the crowd in kozhikode program was sooooooo huge. darshan began in the evening and continued till 3pm next day. in the morning people were still standing in line for amma’s darshan. most of them with families… mother, father, children, husband, wife… at night they were in the cold – mist and wind was flowing across the sports stadium. now they were standing in the sun. amma wanted to provide shade for them. some temporary shelters with shamiyana (decorative cloth) were made. but that was not enough. so they were…

Amma’s one-night program in Kozhikode will begin tomorrow evening. 5 January 2007 Amritapuri

a little spark
FriendsWe leave for Calicut and Kudungalore in about an hour. It is getting very quiet at the Ashram. The high season is ending and there are mixed feelings about. Some are going on tour with Amma. Others are heading home back to their jobs and their families. The 1000 or so westerners from all over the world who have been here for the past few weeks have been doing seva together, eating meals together, and sharing Amma experiences together. People who have become close friends are saying good bye – looking forward to their next meeting – whether it be…

Hay is for Horses
Once Amma left the hall in Dublin after Devi Bhava, most of the tour staff headed by bus to a location in Dublin where we would spend our last night in Europe before dispersing to either the US, home, or Amritapuri. We didn’t know much about the place where we were going, only that it was right in the center of Dublin. We were grateful that we would have a place to stay and ‘decompress’ for one last night after a long hard tour. It must have been mid afternoon when we arrived. It was quite cold outside – the…
