A Lotus heart!

59. 0m maha padmatavi samsthayai namah: l bow down to Amma who resides in the great lotus heart.


The only reality is that Amma resides in everything. Have you ever seen a tiny flower braving the cement lined sidewalk, and thought of Amma? Or the sweet smell of Jasmine as it fills the still air & remembered Her? There's a tiny bit of Amma in absolutely everything around us. But most of all, She resides in the lotus forest of our hearts. This is possibly why when we see Her after a long wait, the eyes reflect the joy of the heart and shed tears of welcome. This is also why Amma holds us close to Her heart during darshan. As Amma is the Goddess of Creation, Her throne is a heart filled with selfless love.

In this Lotus forest, look at the profusion of colours! The red of intense love, the pink of Unconditional affection, the green celebrating the timelessness of nature. Wrapped within these colours, is a heart that only beats for you and me. This heart asks not questions but is happy to feed us with an unending spiritual awakening.

Amma, you have always walked with us on each of our journeys. You allow us to make mistakes so we may rise. You set the obstacles and yet You only show us the way. Allow us to find our path in this spiritual forest. Show us how to overcome Maya so that our eyes can strip away every layer of illusion that stands between You & us, and reveal, in all its glory, the true beauty of life: You seated on a lotus, draped in a white saree exuding innocence and Compassion. And you're holding us tightly to your heart.
In that divine heartbeat, is a never ending promise: you live in me.
We do Amma, we totally do!!

0m Amriteswariye namah!
