The other day, at the end of the Question and Answer session at the Boston Area Retreat, we were all treated to a special satsang during which we were told a few stories about Rama and Sita from the Ramayana. It was sweet and innocent. Each word was filled with wisdom and introspective thought. And it was told by 5 year old Siddharth.<\/p>\n
Sitting next to Amma, Siddharth told how Rama used his arrow to split a stone that was being hurled at him by the demons. We were spellbound as to how such a young child could remember such details.<\/p>\n
Next, Amma asked him to sing Chitta Chora. Without missing a beat, he started singing, and Amma sang backup. Amma was overjoyed as were we. It was wonderful.<\/p>\n
When he finished, Amma commented, ‘As long as we have children and beautiful nature, we will always be happy.’ Amma then headed into the dining hall to begin serving dinner.<\/p>\n
It was the first time in memory that Amma herself did not lead a bhajan at the end of the Q&A session.<\/p>\n
