Report from Amritapuri

[Guest guest]

Dear Divine Sibs,

 

Received this from a friend in Amritapuri -

Greetings from Amritapuri! (Okay, from the Internet cafe in Kollam...)

 

Amma's birthday came and went on this side of the planet. It was a

spectabular event, don't know the numbers of people, tens of thousands

for sure, although there was talk that the crowd was smaller than

expected. The boat races were quite something to behold, 40+ men in

huge row boats racing up the backwaters. Amma's new temple was

completed in time, and She had Pada Puja there with Swamiji and

Krishnamritaprana Tuesday morning, then received people all day until 6

pm, turned around and by 7 or so was singing bhajans, then in Devi

Bhava in the "old" temple until 7:30 the next morning. To see Her

radiant and pulsating with Divine energy at the end of all of that was

once again a reminder of Her divinity and how lucky we all are to have

Her as a Mother...

Namah Shivaya, one morning after an exceptionally long Devi Bhava in

Amritapuri, I was blessed to be behind the temple when Mother came out. The

look on Her face was exactly that...radiant. It was clear that She was in

total bliss after what would seem to be an intolerable ordeal to any ordinary

mortal. Just glowing, looking very...searching for the right word...can't

find it so will say...cosmic, God intoxicated, otherworldly. Thanks for

reminding me of that moment with this great report from back home. Jai Amma!
