12. Om nijaruna prabha pura majjad brahmanda madalayai namah: I bow down to Amma who immerses the entire universe in the red effulgence of Her form
In the spiritual realm and the aura of colors, red radiates courage, vitality, action. How blessed to be able to see Amma through this mantra! Our beautiful mother who reaches out to console with Her unending compassion, pulsates with something so almighty and potent - courage, vitality, action. Amma bathes us in that glorious form of Hers. Her courageous form that takes on the demons of our minds; Her form full of vitality that drives away the sloth of vices from us; Her form full of action that inspires us to wake up and do what it takes to make the world a better place. This form of Amma's throbs with a life that is to me all at once exciting, rejuvenating and reassuring.
So when we go for darshan, Amma must surely immerse us in this form of Hers. As She hugs us, She cloaks us gently in an unseen red because what else can explain that sudden spurt of energy and happiness we feel after darshan? Why else have we heard and seen and felt miraculous moments around Amma? Why else can a devotee go for days without adequate sleep and yet feel a heady tiredness around Her?
So many millions of people have had prayers answered and lives healed; future paths uncovered and purposes revealed; been set upon virtuous paths and fearless endeavors manifested. All because a compassionate and powerful Goddess in a saints garb, decided to lightly smear us with a sprinkling of red!
Om Amriteswariye Namah!
