Was Amma just here?<\/p>\n
16 December 2007, Amritapuri
\nAmma had just arrived only Sunday – and now She has left again for 10 days.\u00a0For the past 6 days, it has been crazy.\u00a0On Wednesday and Thursday, Amma gave darshan from 10:30 am to just after Midnight.\u00a0Over 14 hours each day. So many International Visitors.\u00a0 Almost overnight, the number of Intenational vistors zoomed from just under 100 to close to 700.\u00a0The Canteen has been so crowded.\u00a0Only two weeks back, the Ashram was quiet.\u00a0 You could hear a pin drop on the other side of the main hall in the middle of the day…<\/p>\n
Now that Amma is gone on tour again, the peace and quiet has returned to the Ashram.\u00a0 It’s is eerily strange.\u00a0 There are fewer visitors in the canteen. The lines are shorter.\u00a0The Brahmacharis are back on the stage singing bhajans.\u00a0The Brahmacharinis are in the Temple.\u00a0The two main bells rang again during each Arati.<\/p>\n
