Amma’s Avatar
The descending of this Universal Consciousness in human form as Amma – A poet’s vision: One moment in the Timeless Expanse of Consciousness. God was browsing the vast universe. God wanted to take form, to become manifest in a form. God went round scanning the space like one does Google Earth, looking for a place to be born. Kerala, with bright shores, thick coconut groves and lush lagoons—this was chosen as God’s Own Country. God zoomed on a quiet village called Parayakkadavu, facing the roaring Arabbi Sea, on the narrow strip of an island. God could not resist its beauty.…

Tatanavitunnu – Amma the Father
Amma sang an interesting set of bhajans last night. The song Tatanavitunnu is one a bit more rarely heard and one of that addresses the divine as father:You are our Father, we your children. We are the flowers born on the soil of this earth. Blinded by the dust of the world, We have strayed for so long. O compassionate One, are you going away, leaving us behind? If so, in the future we will be lost, being eternally bound to this earth. Amma is surely both Mother and Father combining both masculine and feminine qualities perfectly. She will helps…

Green Stage
Amma was in a very good mood during bhajans, joking a lot with Swamiji and Ramu. Someone had decorated the stage with some greenery tonight. The background singer girls had to almost sit inside a little garden. Maybe because Amma was today talking about the importance of developing a relationship with nature that someone decided to bring some plants for the bhajans stage. A nice idea i must say.

Both the clouds and my eyes are raining. Though the earth is cooled by the soft rain, These tears only increase the heat that is burning in my mind. O Dark One, why do you hesitate to come before me? Why do you display such a hard heart? I have heard…
