We were lucky to be a part of the birthday celebrations of Amma, at the sg ashram. How beautiful was the experience of the homam and the puja! It was like Amma was right there, blessing us all. Every year we celebrate Amma's birthday and every year I stand in front of the altar and wonder what I should gift Amma? Should it be my ego? My fear? My anger? My jittery faith? Which one should I totally and wholeheartedly sacrifice by Her feet so that She can take it away once and for all? Many years ago I had decided to give Her my fear but selfish as I am, I took it back. I hope I can totally surrender it one more time to Her. For I know not what to do with it but Amma will. Some day soon, I will find the courage to give Amma my ego, anger and lack of faith too. And as a return gift I would like to take back some peace wrapped in the bright colors of happiness and faith. But then Amma always gives that out to us. We just literally are unable to do much with this beautiful gift. Amma, happy birthday once again and please give us the understanding to realise just how precious a gift You Yourself are, to us.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
