Many of us watched the progression of the Tokyo Devi Bhava on Chimes on Amritapuri.org. This was the last program in Japan before Amma would fly to Seattle and set foot on the North American continent once again. Excitement was mounting as most people had been waiting a year to see Amma again and others […]

Any confluence of rivers is holy for an Indian. Three Triveni Sangamas became blessed by Amma this India Tour time. How is that? Some of our river- sisters had cherished a dream for a long time. When Amma comes on tours Amma blesses different landscapes with Her presence, Her touch, Her sight and so on. […]

All these years it was a common sight on the program site to see a whole lot of Hindi dialect speaking families from neighborhood of the vasant kunj ashram, sitting, squatting, squeaking and spitting all over the dining area. The children had running noses, matted dirty hair, and too gaudy colorful but rag like clothes. […]

As i travelled homeward, ie to Amritapuri, from Mangalore, once again tried to take a look at Amma’s Indian tour from yet another perspective… How does a drop out from the tour feel?

She is the director of the divine shows conducted for her children at every place she visits. The stage is decorated, people assemble… AMMA, the divine performer comes on to stage. A glimpse of her brings joy, tears, a smile, and devotion to her children’s hearts. She is humble, loving, beautiful, with her enchanting smile. […]

On the tour, among other things Amma posed before us two questions, on two different occasions. At a lunch stop before Vishakhapatnam  Amma asked, “Children, do you want to be terrestrial birds or birds in the free air?” Those days the drives were longer than time of stay in a place. Over two days’ drive […]

With Amma it is always like this. There are surprises after surprises and yet something basic doesn’t change even with two sets of scores of years. For Ex. Amma’s darshan has been just in the same manner as years ago. However this year on tour Amma added several new surprises. One of them was flight […]
