The best prayer there is!

227. Om maha-mantrayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the greatest mantra


Don't we have wonderful days when all we want to say is "Amma, Amma, Amma!" A celebration of life! A celebration of everything wonderful in the world. A joyous remembrance of all that's right in this universe. Whether it's a happy day or a worrisome one, all one has to do is lose oneself in the chanting of the best mantra there is: Amma! Amma! Amma!

Which brings me to the harsh reality of certain forces hoping to tarnish our Mother's image. Firstly, NOTHING can ever tarnish Amma's name or image. Absolutely nothing. You can try as hard as you want and write realms and realms of fiction but the universe knows the truth. Her true children know their Mother very well. We have melted into the arms of this Goddess (Yes, Goddess!) many a times and have felt a deep connect. If you haven't, that really is your sad karma!

As for Amma and Her Goddess stature, Amma has NEVER EVER said She is God. She has always considered Herself a Guru who helps us find God. If we, Her children, choose to see Her as a Goddess, as divinity Herself, then that is our choice and prerogative. Millions of people cannot be wrong. And we aren't, because even taking Amma's name, is the best prayer there is!

Om Amriteswariye namah!
