Amma, my best friend!

267. Om govinda-rupinyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is in the form of Govinda (Vishnu) for the preservation of the universe.


I think I'm quite sure on this one: Amma is my best friend. Friends normally come and go out of your life so easily. Sometimes they are there heaving you through good times and bad. Sometimes the villainous ego comes into play and friends leave your life in the blink of an eye. Not all can be trusted. Sometimes circumstances take friends away from us. There are so many variables when it comes to friends. But think about this: Imagine living life having Amma as our best friend. We will tell only Her our deepest darkest secrets. Only She will be privy to our tears and we will share our joy first with Her. How do I contact Her, you say? Why, speak to Her of course! Yes there is no physical number one can call but Amma makes it easy for us. She's omnipresent. Sit in a corner and speak to Her and Amma's for sure listening. I find the idea of sharing our tears only with Amma very cool. She's the only one who won't disconnect the phone and call others to gossip about us. She's not going to sit in judgement of our situation. She'll actually give us a solution. She'll handle us with love and care. What's not to be best friends with our dearest, darlingest Amma?

And my best friend is also the preserver of the universe. She preserves each of us in Her cocoon of unending love. She preserves the moral fibre of society. She preserves the goodness in each of us. Like a good friend would!

Om Amriteswariye namah!
