The perfect refuge!

30. Om kamesa baddha mangalya sutra sobhita kandharayai namah: I bow down to Amma whose neck is adorned with the marriage thread tied by kamesha



Once again, the binding of Shiva and Shakti. The ultimate force that destroys the unnecessary and renews life.

Life's journey is never easy. Even the very act of creation requires dredging up of the old, to rummage through, seeking inspiration and wisdom. Life's journey is never simple. The path is littered with complicated puzzles in which lie supposed answers. Life's journey is never straight forward. The path is about as straight as the next turn. And in this strange journey called Life, Amma stands as the perfect navigator. Like a mother would only desire the best for her child, so also Amma's happiness comes from ensuring ours. She creates the perfect pathway to happiness for us. Amma's hugs are meant to cleanse our past and light up our future. Her sankalpa helps us live through the storms and Her grace allows us to walk tough journeys under the umbrella of Her guidance.

She who is a consort of the powerful destroyer Kamesha, works in tandem with Him to shower us with Her blessings. He kills the unnecessary & She creates from within this; He turns to ashes the evil in a being & Amma lovingly dusts the ash away to polish the goal within. Every action of Amma is meant to better us, to help us grow as spiritual beings.

Amma, many a times when I traverse the tumultuous journey of life, I forget your blessings. I forget that you sit for hours on end giving darshan only so that I may have a better future. I forget that you tirelessly reach out to us every day, only so we can be better beings. In this journey of life, I hope I never forget my gratitude to you. For in your blessings that come from the abode of Shiva and Shakti, lies the perfect refuge.

Om Amriteswariye namah!
