Tonight Amma sang the following bhajans:<\/p>\n
Mridula Neela Kalebara
Amma Nin Rupam
Rote Jag Men
Vilical Vili Kelkan
Janani Tava Padam
Om Namah Shivaya
Om Hari Om Hari
Jinki Karuna Hai Apar<\/p>\n
The song Janani Tava Padam (lyrics below) was simply fantastic tonight. Amma sang with such force and feeling that I noticed that even the little boy sitting next to me had the hair on his skin standing on end. It is not rare that I have noticed a few tear drops falling from one of the children\u2019s eyes during bhajans. Have you ever noticed that tear drops of devotion fall from the outer corner of the eye? <\/p>\n
O Mother, at your lotus feet your children offer salutations, kindly look after these ignorant children.<\/p>\n
Ignorant as I am, I may do a lot of forbidden acts.
Please forgive me, showering your mercy and grace now.<\/p>\n
O Mother, graciously grant me pure devotion, which alone I seek.
I do not want any merits or demerits. It is devotion alone that I seek.<\/p>\n
Ignorance I do not seek, wisdom I do not seek.
I am unconcerned about purity and impurity. It is devotion alone that I seek. <\/p>\n
Neither righteousness nor unrighteousness I seek.
I neither want a spouse nor wealth. It is devotion alone that I seek.<\/p>\n
Vishwanath
