Amritapuri ashram
  • Innocent Observation

    After a weekend of long darshans Amma came today for bhajans again. It was a really nice set with a few very new ones interspersed with a couple of classic ones. There was one little Indian boy sitting next to me during bhajans who was staring at me for some time and then commenced make

    Amma came directly to bhajans after giving darshan all day.

  • Amritapuri Comes To Life

    Our dear Amma arrived back in Amritapuri around noon yesterday. Today she already distributed Prasad lunch. The bliss of receiving food blessed by Amma after a long time of separation is something that I won’t try to describe. And even more blissful is just basking in her presence and letting it purify and uplift one’s

    Clean Ashram

    For the better part of the last two weeks, the Ashramites had been cleaning, painting, and sweeping in preparation for Amma’s arrival. The grime that had accumulated during the monsoon season was virtually unnoticeable as the Brahmacharis and Brahmacharinis worked day and night to make the Ashram pristine for Amma’s return.
