I always feel a thrill as she\u2019s approaching, as does everyone I suppose. I wondered tonight what the impact of Amma\u2019s arrival must be on people who see her only for example once a year. I have to say in all honesty that I have never had the privilege to experience that since from the first time I met Amma I could not stay away from her for very long but found myself very quickly in the travel agency booking my tickets to India. In a way staying with her all the time has sometimes the disadvantage of starting to take Amma\u2019s presence for granted whereas someone seeing her only rarely will not waste a second in her presence. Tuning in is all important where ever we are. Being close to Amma is an aid but not a fool proof way because living under a radio transmission tower does not automatically guarantee a good reception. Someone far away may be able to get a better transmission out of the sheer desperate need to feel her presence that he\/she is not getting physically. Having said that, living in Amritapuri has completely exceeded every preconceived idea I had about ashram life. It\u2019s like living inside Amma, an immense vast sweetness which extends in all directions.<\/p>\n<p>The Bhajans tonight were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Govardhana Gokula Nandana<\/li>\n<li>Ee Manojna Bhumiyil<\/li>\n<li>Manavu Nondiralu Amma (Kannada)<\/li>\n<li>Om Shakti Om Shakti<\/li>\n<li>Kezhunnen Manasam<\/li>\n<li>Nirajanam Nirajanam (Telugu)<\/li>\n<li>Om Namah Shivaya<\/li>\n<li>Jai Jai Kali Ma<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ps: Sorry for the frequent spelling mistakes, I notice the last blog especially had a lot mistakes.
