A feeling of fullness
26 Oct 2008, Sauapul, Bihar Everyday there a large number of patients waiting even before our doctors get to the hospital. So till the end of the day it is non-stop consultation and in the midst of all this we have emergency cases from time to time. Some we deal with, some we have to take in our ambulance to the government hospital, and sometimes a doctor has to go with the patient. “But when I am tired and feel down I just have to catch a sight of Amal, who is generally seen running around the place, to feel…

Amrita Chikitsalaya
23 Oct 2008, Supaul After arriving in Supaul the medical team started visiting one camp after another in Tribeni Ganj area of Supaul district. Along the narrow banks of the Kosi River there were thousands of small temporary huts which housed many thousands of flood affected families.

The Ultimate Truth
I watched a shooting star as it ran across the sky. I was dumbfounded by its beauty in the darkness of the night. Surrounding it like diamonds, like tiny twinkling lights, a million shining brothers witnessing its flight.

And it was inaugurated
Around 10 AM on the day of the inauguration, (read the previous post) i.e. 3rd Oct, I had called up the brahmachari in charge of the construction and asked him about the progress on the erection of the stage and pandal and he confirmed that everything was done and the stage was ready. Taking him on his word, I concentrated on the arrangement of other aspects of the inauguration, like alerting the media, inviting other guests, getting the bilingual press report ready, etc (we had neither power supply nor printing facility nearby the camp). By the time I reached the…

Amma at the German ashram
Here are some nice events with Amma from the time she spent at the German ashram before the Europe tour started: At the ashram, there are two houses named Durga and Shakti. Amma walked down from the gravel road to both the houses. It leads one through a hilly garden, full of trees, ponds, flowers and a little bridge. Amma was leisurely walking down the steep path and looking at the scenery. Then she went into Shakti house, were she is staying, and walked straight to the kitchen looking for some prasad to give to all of us. It was…

Seeking Thy unconditional Love
Ma, groping in the dark lanes of ignorance As I roam with never-ending desires, The only crying help to check them out Is now seeking Thy unconditional Love.

Ma, the ocean of blessedness You wish Thy child to be blessed On the auspicious Vijaya Dasami day That I long and seek Thy unconditional Love. — Sridhar
