2010

It's about time I updated this blog. These days I tend to write on Facebook. All I can really do is bow down to the Divine. There is no doubt that since I met Amma, my life has taken a turn for the better.

I had this gorgeous message from Yogini, too.

Om Namo Narayani. Greetings from Sri Naranyani Peedam . I wanted to let everyone know about the special events planned for May 8, the 18th anniversary of the day on which our Beloved Amma experienced Herself as the Divine Mother and Goddess Narayani. Amma proclaimed this identity to the world on that day and we celebrate it as ‘Proclamation Day’. It also marks the birthday of Sri Narayani Peedam.

Amma has given us a great boon or divine gift. May 8th is the only day of the year where we can enter the Swayambhu Temple. The swayambhu will be uncovered and each of us will be able to perform abishekam to the swayambhu with turmeric water. Amma has said that when we place our hands on either side of the swayambhu all of our negativity will be pulled from us. We will be filled with positive energy and blessings which will give rise to positive thoughts and actions resulting in peace of mind and ananda (bliss).

All of Creation will be celebrating this auspicious day and the grace will be flowing, so come if you can and pay Rs108 to participate in the swayambhu abishekam. If you are unable to be here, then participate in some other manner. Make the day auspicious no matter where you are.

Last night after the evening puja we followed Amma to the small ghoshala here at the Peedam. It was just after 9 p.m. and the breezes were blowing softly through the palm trees. Amma performed ‘gho puja’ while the Brahmin priests chanted. The ghoshala was full of devotees and yet it was easy to feel you were alone in the Universe with Amma and Indrani. Every day we swim in a sea of grace here at the Peedam and feel held by Amma and transformed by grace into something quite Divine.
