For survivors and victims
A poem for survivors and victims of recent Indonesian earthquake Sometimes there are not enough tears to shed for others who are suffering through so much. What can we do comfort those who lost so much. Keeping our hearts focused on sending them peace I believe will help. Praying that they will find comfort. I offer this poem to every person who is suffering right now due to the recent earthquake in Indonesia and also from the Samoan tsunami. -Angeline Gilbert —— —– —— ——– When darkness falls and tries to swallow your heart away, hang on hard, hold on…

East or West, Amma is Best
“Oh, unimitated and inimitable Amma! What shall I say on her? Words cannot describe Her Amma is Amma, She is what She is,” were the words of Ms Sulma from California. Fifteen years ago she had her first Darsan of Amma at Mexico. For the past twelve years she has been here in Vallikkavu as a carpenter. “How do you like your job here?’ I asked. “Amma said – be a carpenter here – and here I am!” She enjoys this service. The other members of her family too are devotees of Amma and do seva at the Mexico Ashram.…

Amrita changed my attitude towards the world
“It is always a special feeling to come back to the campus where you spent your college days. Being present here is a great feeling and to be a part of Amma’s Birthday celebrations is surely a bonanza. I met Amma for the first time in 2004, but I didn’t have clear idea about Amma or her activities at that time. I used to wonder why millions of people are attracted towards her. I understood the essence and grace of Amma only after I joined the Amrita School of Biotechnology. I personally saw her doing service and realized the inner…

Let me hold on to you
With a feather touch, You tickle all of us as your babies. Your deep blue eyes dance, winks in ecstasy, Your eyelashes spread wide in anxiety, Seeing, a peacock feather flutters With a soft lullaby, you make us sleep, Blooming, a subtle soft smile on our lips, In the petals of your heart, we sleep, Dissolving ourselves on a bed of dreams. Letting Calmness slowly sift in By hugging and kissing, you bestow, A piece of your love in every soul Hours pass in seconds before my turn I can feel your hugs as fresh as ever A petal smearing…

Shopkeeper near Amrita Setu
I did not know Amma before coming here. I came here seven years back. My only source of income is a shop that was setup after I came here. I would say that every day since then is an experience by itself in this sacred land. I feel that only people with the real seed of spirituality can come to this place, no amount of advertisements or any other external force can bring this much amount of people to the place. It is my good fortune that has brought me to Amma. There seems to be a power that guides…

I agreed to attend this event without any reservation and to be a judge because of my love for and devotion to Amma. Organizing an event on such a big scale is not easy. This…

May you all win in competiton
Malu R stood there, innocent and polite, looking at me with her cute eyes. She was ignorant about the events happening around her but the way she answered the questions were commendable. This 13 year old girl is studying 8th class in Kakkazham School, Kerala. She is pretty serious about her future at this small age. She got darshan of Amma the previous day and Amma blessed her by telling that “You all will win the competition.” She felt very happy with the blessing and felt even happier that everyone are going to win the competition. Her innocent thoughts and…
