In the pallet of divinity rainbow takes shape. colour schemes stroke on cosmic canvas. Life begins in small beginnings. Creatures big n’ small are born. Sun enlightens whole of world. Mother of mothers breaks her silence. Brilliance blooms in heart of darkness. “Let the show begin” Chants…

A priceless return gift
‘Its such an auspicious day’…. is what I thought of when I opened my eyes on the morning of 27th September 2011. I scrabbled for my Amma’s photo on my table next to my bed and wished her a Happy Birthday with a birthday kiss and a big hug… tears welled up in my heart when I recollected how blissfully I had spent one of Amma’s birthday in Amritapuri. It was Diwali, Navratri, Christmas, New Year all rolled up in one day…Amritapuri had worn a festive look and there was a blissful vibrancy all around, as if the whole universe…

Dream and Reality
Do you believe in the realisation of dreams? Does a dream ever come true? Have you ever met a stranger who appeared in your dreams?

When 3 in Glee
26 Sep 2011, Amritapuri It’s hard to find people who think and feel for their fellow beings. Their sense of pride limits themselves in many ways.

He ensured that they got all the help that they needed. I was curious to know about him.…

Ma, what a dismal child was I that I could dream only terror, Verily the despondency vanished away with Thy smile so milder. O!

Ma, what a stuttering child was I that I could only mutter “Um, aa, ee …” Verily, now Thy…
