Amma, the all compassionate!

581. Om daya-murtyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the personification of compassion


More incredible quotes from the goldmine I chanced upon! This darling Mother of ours only thinks about us, Her children. And every word She speaks is a step for us to become better human beings.

Om Meditation before bedtoime: ‘Just before going to bed, we should meditate for at least five minutes while sitting on the bed, then bow to our deity or guru.  When doing so, we can imagine that we are holding on tight to the feet of our deity, and we can pray with all our heart: ”Dear God, kindly forgive all the wrongs I have committed today, knowingly or unknowingly.  Give me the strength to resist repeating these mistakes.”  We can imagine that we are lying with our head in the lap or at the feet of our favorite deity or our guru, or we can imagine that the deity is sitting next to us.  Let us glide to sleep while chanting the mantra.  By doing this, we will keep the remembrance of the mantra unbroken during our sleep.  Children also should acquire this habit.’  (Immortal Light)

Om bringing up children: ‘Up to the age of five, children should be given a lot of love.  From the age of five to fifteen they should be brought up under strict discipline especially regarding their study.  It is at that time that life’s foundation is formed.  Love without discipline will only spoil them.  Above the age of fifteen children should be given maximum love otherwise they may go astray.’  (Immortal Light)

Om Amriteswariye namah!
