With faith, love and hope!

384. Om visva-saksinyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is witness to the whole universe


My beautiful Amma watches over each of us, this entire universe. Sometimes I look at Amma's pictures and I am convinced She is looking at me, watching me, following my every move. I really hope so, actually. IT's wonderful to think and realise that there really is a guardian angel after all and that it isn't just mumbo jumbo. There really is a divine being who watches over us and takes care of us. In these dark times, each of us needs an angel to be watching over us. At a time when humanity seems to be losing its humaneness, it is important that we realise a divine power cares for us. Even if that makes us behave ourselves and show more compassion towards the world, the universe would truly have achieved what it has set out to do. Reading or hearing the news is like allowing our hopes in humanity to take a battering. What world are we leaving behind for our children? And at times like these, we realise the importance of Amma in our lives. Through the madness and mayhem, if we can pause to say a prayer, a mantra and pray for world peace; if we can take time out to light a lamp and chant Amma's holy names, the world has hope after all. We, each of Amma's children, need to go forth like beacons of hopeful light. For that is what Amma would want us to do. In a time when each of us is fighting our own demons, the one thing that can keep all of us afloat is faith, love and hope. May Amma's grace touch each of us in this universe.

Om Amriteswariye namah!
