Meaning of mantra

[Guest guest]

Om Amriteswaryai Namaha!

 

I think "Amrita" is "the nectar that bestows immortality" although I have run

into some conflicting opinions on what exactly is meant by "immortality." My

feeling is that it implies liberation from birth/death cycle (i.e. knowledge of

atman's eternal nature) but some have insisted to me that it means physical

immortality (i.e. live in this body forever, which I'm not too keen on).

Soooo.... I believe the mantra means, "I bow to the embodiment of the nectar

that bestows immortality," (Amma, of course!)

 

I am always amazed at the deep meditative state I experience as we all chant

this mantra while waiting for Mother to enter the hall.

 

love,

 

Prajna
