		<description><![CDATA[3 May, Ernakulam
Swami Amritatmananda Puri gave a beautiful speech before Amma arrived for the evening program. He mainly talked about innocence, and how people tend to use temples as places to give their lists of complaints to God. He told one story.
Once there was a man begging outside a temple. He was seated underneath a [...]

Amma reached the Ernakulam Brahmasthanam at night on the 2nd of May. The first program of Amma&#8217;s Kerala Tour starts tomorrow with a two-day brahmasthanam festival. Before Amma reached the brahmasthanam, the students from Amma&#8217;s school were chanting Vedic hymns very nicely, as well the Lalita Sahasranama and some bhajans. Actually, in the [...]

During the Singapore, Malaysia, Australia Tour, Amma held four Devi Bhavas - one in Singapore, and three in Australia (Melbourne, Gold Coast, and Sydney). Though Amma always remains the same - radiating Her divine love on everyone present -  each Devi Bhava had it&#8217;s own personality, so to say.
Despite the fact that I was seeing [...]

Amidst the anticipation and all the ups and downs that inevitably occur before Amma’s arrival, we received a call that my father-in-law was ill.

		<description><![CDATA[10 April 2008
This past Thursday, Amma’s divine presence soaked deep into our hearts as we sat outside at her feet for the first time in the Australian Ashram in Melbourne.  We had all been longing for this moment since Guru Purnima 2006 when we were given approval to purchase the property.
The gathering began at 1:30pm [...]

Towards the end of the morning program on the first day of retreat, Amma said that she would dance after darshan.  Eager devotees gathered around as the last person came to receive Amma’s hug.  Then, a circle was formed, and Amma stood up to dance.  But the musicians didn’t know what bhajan to play.  Then…..apparently, [...]

Amma arrived at Melbourne international Airport on April 3rd around 1pm after holding programmes in Singapore and Malaysia.

Amma’s programs in Malaysia are huge—some of the biggest outside inside. This year more than 20,000 people came. As such, Amma decided to give darshan as she does on her India tours, with people coming to her standing as opposed to kneeling.
