The best support!

284. Om sahasra-pade namah: I bow down to Amma who has a thousand feet


Spiritual leader, humanitarian and visionary Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, known throughout the world simply as “Amma”, has served the world-community for decades, imparting wisdom, strength and inspiration. Through her extraordinary acts of love, inner strength and self-sacrifice, Amma has endeared herself to millions and inspired thousands to follow in her path of selfless service.
This is an introduction to Amma in embracingtheworld.org. 

Amma's gigantic footprints of love that span the earth, is what echoes the meaning of this mantra. Look at the number of people Amma has consoled, the number of lives She has touched. Amma has walked the earth ensuring the happiness of each of us. We always get our hearts desire when we leave the reins of our future in Amma's all knowing hands. Amma's entire life is a dedication to the happiness of Her children. She will walk miles to reach us and smoothen everything out in our lives. All Amma wants us to do is walk the mile of unquestioning faith. That mile where we, no questions asked, surrender every fate and destiny line to Her. Amma knows what to do with these twisted lines. She knows that life's blips will go away. The minor glitches will only show up a small curveball. What will actually endure and remain will be the faith we show at such times. It's so tough to keep it going. Ask me! My faith has been shaken a few times and I get into a verbal argument with Amma over it. I question Her. "Are You even looking out for me, Amma? Are You even watching?" "Do You really have the power to watch over me?" But when the bitterness settles down like dregs, I know Amma is the only gentle wall I can lean on. She is the support. She is my past, present and future.

Om Amriteswariye namah!
