Amritapuri Comes Back To Life
Amma finally returned from Australia after a long wait. The faces of the ashramites had been turning slightly sad as life in Amritapuri is just not the same without her. There hadn’t even been any webcasts from the last Devi Bhavas, so the contrast was even more evident when Amma lit […]

Communicating with Dolphins
Communicating with Dolphins at Amma’s Beach!
Two days ago, chatting with a friend here at Amritapuri, we shared some nice memories of seeing dolphins in the ocean, from Amma’s beach (just 2 minutes walk from the ashram, by the Ayurveda Research Center). My friend said that once someone was sad and complaining that the dolphins never […]
Sivaratri in Amritapuri
5 March 2008

For a full 24 hours, the Brahmacharinis […]
