Tonight Amma delighted her Spanish children by singing ‘Ishwar Tumhi’ in Spanish. At the moment there are a lot of Spanish devotees in the ashram and as many of them do not speak English Amma has sang quite a lot in the Latin tongue lately. Another novelty was the Italian version of the Song Lokah […]
OM Amriteswaryai Namaha Today was another interesting and lovely day around Amma. I missed out the question answer session with Amma due to work and landed up at the ashram during lunch time and was lucky enough to just be there for the last few words by Amma and then the concluding bhajan of “Hari […]
Amma is the pure, blessed One. Look at any photo from the old days when she was ‘just a teenage girl Ha!’ and a photo from this year and look at the eyes in both photos. See what I mean! Nothing has changed, nothing. Amma is pure beyond words. Amma is ever-changeless. She is the […]
This year the ashram seems home more than before as I arrive after a summer away from the ashram. The loving greetings exchanged between the residents and visitors from all over the world have warmed all hearts.

They danced and sang for each other; the best form of communication as many people spoke only Spanish, French, Italian and even Czech. The children were particularly fascinated by a singer from the Cameroons who […]
Tiredness is beginning to accumulate.Standing in the lift, already hot and sticky, on the ninth floor of E block at 4.30am this morning with a group of people from all over the world, all yawning and looking groggy-eyed, I smiled to myself and thought how only Amma could bring us all together in this rather […]
Om Amriteshvaryai Namah It’s been a hectic week at Amritapuri. Amma has been giving satsangs in the temple every day this week. On Thursday Amma asked for questions and answers but no one had any. One of the devotees started a long speech in praise of Amma while she looked alternately amused and embarrassed. He […]
Mukti, my wife, and I went to darshan about 2AM at the last Devi Bava in San Ramone this past June. Amma asked us to sit near her. A young Indian woman came for darshan to ask many detailed questions in a mixture of Hindi, Malayalam, and English. We heard the word “physics” pop into […]
