Ashram in Toronto
Om Nama Shivaya. I would like to share this with readers of the website. Amma visited the Canadian Ashram prior to the public program and retreat. What a wonderful treat Canadians had when Amma arrived in Canada on July 19, 2008. Amma arrived on Canadian soil at approximately 9p.m. At about 10pm, Her car drew up at the Canadian ashram grounds. Before Amma’s arrival, there was a heavy downpour which lasted for hours. It was as if the Yamuna river as flooding again as on the night Lord Krishna was born. This time, Canadian soil and roads were being cleansed…

The Divine Caravan
27 July 2008 The clock was at quarter past eight and my heart started pounding faster than usual. The clouds gathered above Kerala’s capital – Trivandrum and started raining. The mind was silently repeating the childhood prayer ‘rain rain go away’ and as though an answer to the innocent prayer the rain stopped! As the clock continued ticking, the crowd started swelling tremendously outside the airport. The airport premises were rhythmically echoing the bhajans. In groups, devotees were singing Amma’s bhajans. Some were holding placards and welcome banners while others were displaying signs and flags as an outer expression of…

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. –…
