803. Om pujyayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is worthy of worship by all
From an apt article in the Guardian, in 2008:
Amma is in greater demand now than at any other time in her spiritual career. Perhaps her popularity says more about us than it does about her. It's so rare to have someone look you straight in the eye and hold you unconditionally in their arms that it can become a religious experience for some people. You don't need to learn yoga or Sanskrit or study any kind of ancient text to be part of Amma's religion, you just need to be able to receive a hug. In a world where public figures are lofty and removed from ordinary people, she looks accessible, approachable and touchable. That's the secret of her success.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
