28. Om manda smita prabha pura majjat kamesa manasayai namah: I bow down to Amma who submerges even the mind of Kamesha (Lord Shiva) in the radiance of Her smile.
Lord Shiva: The ascetic of Mount Kailash, the destroyer of demons and egos, the Cosmic Dancer.
Amma: The Goddess of the world, the creator of virtues, the Universal Mother.
She's the dynamic shakti to Shiva's static energy. When He destroys, She creates. She's the light to His darkness.
Amma's has the power to reach out to Her million devotees across the world, with a mere smile. She smiles in different ways: the peaceful, calming smile that's enough to reassure and console; that naughty smile when She's having a good laugh at something someone said; that motherly smile as She listens attentively to everything you say to Her. Her smile is enough to melt our hearts. It's like a baby's smile. Innocent. Non judgmental. Loving. And in these virtues lies Her power to submerge even the mind of Lord Shiva. These facets have attracted millions to Her. We can sit in satsangs with people with whom we have, ostensibly, nothing in common. Nothing, except Amma. And that is enough to get us animated and have us talking about Her miracles, sharing our experiences around Amma and leaving with a new sense of kinship.
She smiles and we feel all our problems melt quietly away, almost apologetic for having been there in the first place. She smiles and it's enough to bring smiles on otherwise life-wearied faces. That smile has the power to unburden and rejuvenate. It has the shakti to simultaneously reach out to everyone in the hall and envelop each devotee in a blanket of happiness. Her smile is the refuge we are seeking at all times. It's the shade of the banyan tree where we can finally unburden our heavy bags and rest. It's the calm waters in which we can walk in, fearlessly, to feel a sense of renewal.
When Amma smiles, everyone around Her rejoices. Even looking at a picture of Her smiling is enough. Her smile sets off a chain reaction. The domino effect. From one weary heart to another, cleaning, cleansing, sprinkling a good measure of joy.
And if millions have fallen under its charm, what of Lord Shiva, the kind hearted Lord of the Lords? Amma's radiance is bright. So bright that even the divine cannot but bask in its brilliant glory!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
