Namah Shivaya.<\/p>\n
One of the sweetest moments for me , after moving here to Amritapuri 8 months ago has been the tuesday prasad with Amma. Amma gives prasad, plates of delicious food to all the residents after extremely interesting question and answer sessions. After the Q&A session, Amma hands out the plates of food to the ashramites. Then, everyone chants the 15th chapter of the Gita and then begin to eat.<\/p>\n
The chanting of the Gita is what moves me the most. The first day when I heard the chanting, it struck me that the self same Krishna who originally gave out the verses , was now sitting in front of me, but this time the roles were reversed- rather than Krishna chanting the verses to the devotee, this time it was the devotee chanting the Gita to Krishna!<\/p>\n
As the verse are chanted, I cant help but feel a thrill all over thinking that here I am sitting in the very presence of Sri Krishna Himself. In the form of out sweet Amma.<\/p>\n
And as the verse go on ” Adityagatam tejo..” “Know that the Light that proceeds from the Sun and the moon and the stars is My Light”, I feel awed that, somehow, within the sweet little form of my Guru in front of me, somehow , lies that Infinite Power from which the Light of the Sun and the stars originate.<\/p>\n
wow.<\/p>\n
And then She turns, and smiles.. and the awe is replaced by love , and I happily eat the prasad.<\/p>\n
