Amma's presence is all around!

374. Om krtajnayai namah: I bow down to Amma who knows all of our actions as they occur


This is such a reassuring mantra especially for those out there like me who need constant reaffirmation of the fact that our Guru hasn't forgotten us! How many times we sit and worry and wonder if Amma knows what is going on in our lives. We then berate Her for not watching over us or not listening to our silent pleas. Everything gets set right only when we finally kneel in front of Her and She envelops us with the warmest of hugs. But in fact, Amma watches over us all the time. How else can we feel this strong connect with Her? I would like to think that every time I feel that really cool breeze on my face, it is Amma touching me gently in Her own reassuring way. I would like to think that when I feel the freshness of rain in the air, it is Amma quietly showering me with Her blessings. I would like to think that when the sun playfully shines through a canopy of trees, leaving the most breathtaking designs around us, it is Amma reminding us that life is actually all about the simplest of pleasures. Amma is there everywhere, including within us. The day we can actually connect with the Amma who lives within, we would have climbed a big rung of the spiritual ladder!

Om Amriteswariye namah!
