657.Om yugandharayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the Bearer of the yugas
She always makes it right for us, doesn't She? We fret and we fume and we basically lose faith. But Amma will ensure that it's all sorted out for us. She never, ever lets us down. Which is why while attending a concert, I had the most incredible idea for Amma's next visit. It has nothing to do with a concert...and that's why I'm pleased as punch. For me it means that I am able to think of Amma at all times. It's a massive spiritual victory for me! Amma has truly moved away from the altar and is now a part of my being. I'm able to talk to Her when I go for walks and even in between lessons. How cool is that! This is a massive step for me. I am slowly getting out of the "Gods are only in shrines" mode to realising the omnipresence of Amma!
And here's a blog I chanced upon and so, so happy to read from it. Here's an excerpt on Amma:
"When I first came to Amritapuri, people in Oachira, one of the closest villages, had never heard of her. Last month, Amma was chosen by the Pope to represent Hinduism at a meeting of religious leaders. The purpose of the meeting was to sign a Joint Declaration of Religious Leaders against Modern Slavery. The pledge is to end modern day slavery by 2020. While Amma has been recognized by the international community for a long time, it is still a good example of the difference between the early days and now.
Amma, this daughter of a fisherman, has accomplished so much in her 61 years of life. She is certainly a living example of the difference one person’s life can make. I will be forever grateful for all that she has given to me, my family and the world."
Jai Jai Ma! Om Amriteswariye namah!
