38. Om ratna kinkinika ramya rasana dama bhusitayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is adorned with a girdle which is decorated with many gem studded bells
On this wonderful day of Janmashthami, it is so beautiful to end the day with celebrating Amma. All day long messages have flown around. "Happy Janmashthami"
Krishna, the sweetheart amongst Gods, the maakhan chor. The naughty, mischievous God whose smile is enough to melt hearts. Who moved mountains for His devotees. Whose counsel is enough to lead a pure and virtuous life. And within a month, we'll be celebrating yet another birthday of Lord Krishna: what I might call Amma-shthami. The 60th birthday of Amma!! She's Krishna in every sense. Her mischievous smile that comes straight from the purest of the pure heart...each one of us who has been lucky enough to be around Amma while She has laughed naughtily: what a sight! I've smiled without knowing what Amma might have said or what She was laughing about. Her infectious laughter was enough to make me forget every thing surrounding me. And for that micro second, the only reality has been Her. Her laughter, Her beauty, her purity.
In essence, Krishna.
On this day when we surrender our consciousness to Krishna, I wonder why every other day doesn't get celebrated so? After all, every day dawns because the Gods have deemed it so. And with every new dawn comes new blessings! With every sunrise is a renewed sense of life. The first rays of the sun reveal what Amma and Krishna have in store for us. It also reveals Amma's and Krishna's beauteous forms. Splendid and resplendent. Shining with an aura of innocence. And a dollop of naughtiness. Her girdle shines with the many gem studded bells.
And thus begins our surrender to them.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
