The killing of our vices!

74. Om bhanda putra vadhodyukta bala vikrama nanditayai namah: I bow down to Amma who delights in seeing the valor of the goddess Bala who is intent on killing the sons of Bhanda


I wish we lived in a world where Amma's footprints covered the entire world. So that there wasn't even a blemish in the world. Amma's view of righteousness is so strong that should we all follow every word that Amma speaks, the world would truly be a better place to live in. Amma, in Her own way, silently kills every evil intent or thought. When Amma embraces us, it's more than a physical action. It's an entire change happening quietly. It's Amma's way of removing every vice in us. It's Amma's way of killing every bit of negativity in us. It's Amma's way of cleansing us so that our spiritual path becomes easier.

Ego is the worst thing we straddle ourselves with. Where there is ego, there can be no place for Amma. How can we expect Amma to reside in a place that pulsates with every other thought except Her? How can She live in a space where we don't allow Her to work Her magic but instead assume we have the power to do so? Help us Amma, to erase each negative trait in us. If we have done wrong, forgive us. But at the same time, pull us up from the dark depths to which we have fallen. Allow us to rise and work at becoming better human beings. Beings worthy of having taken this birth. Of living in Your presence.

Teach us to vanquish the worst in us, so that we may be worthy of You. I realize each path you lay is the one fit for the treader. And may we tread this path softly, gently and mindful of our shortcomings. Help me in this arduous journey, Amma. Today and always!

Om Amriteswariye namah!
