246. Om parvatyai namah; I bow down to Amma who is the daughter of the Mountain (Mount Himavat or Himalaya)
A few years ago I had thought of this very strong imagery: When Amma sits for meditation, it really looks like Amma has evolved into a strong mountain, like the Himalaya or the matterhorn. Powerful. Unyielding. And yet, on Her face there is a softness which is like the melting snow on the mountaintop in summer. Amma is exactly like a mountain. The mountains have been there since the world began. They have been eternal witnesses. They see everything and yet do not judge or yield. They just stand strong, come what may! Nothing perturbs them. People try to conquer them but one little flag cannot a conquest mean. The Mountain will allow others their little triumphs but no one can claim victory over a Mountain.
Amma is exactly like this. No one can conquer Amma. The only thing Amma cedes to, is pure and unadulterated Love. Amma's nature is to always give to others. Her generous spirit is what has seen Her sit for hours on end wrapping us in Her compassionate embrace. And to know Amma is to know love and recognize it in everyone. I wish the entire world could feel the power of Amma. The day the world surrenders at Her feet will be the day wars will stop, evil will take a back seat and goodness will shine and triumph. That will be the day when the believers will walk to the mountain, look up at its might and recognize its power. Let us pray that this day arrives soon so that the blanket of gloom from the world is lifted soon!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
