आस्तां तावदियं प्रसूतिसमये दुर्वारशूलव्यथा
नैरुच्यं तनुशोषणं मलमयी शय्या च संवत्सरी ।
एकस्यापि न गर्भभारभरणक्लेशस्य यस्याक्षमः
दातुं निष्कृतिमुन्नतोऽपि तनयस्तस्यै जनन्यै नमः ॥ १॥āstāṃ tāvadiyaṃ prasūtisamaye durvāraśūlavyathā
nairucyaṃ tanuśoṣaṇaṃ malamayī śayyā ca saṃvatsarī .
ekasyāpi na garbhabhārabharaṇakleśasya yasyākṣamaḥ
dātuṃ niṣkṛtimunnato’pi tanayastasyai jananyai namaḥ .. 1..At the time of giving birth to me, O Mother!, you suffered from
unbearable pain. You did not speak about the suffering of your
body nor of your painful condition while lying in the bed for
almost a year. For even one of the sufferings that you underwent
during pregnancy, O Mother!, a son is unable to offer atonement.
To that mother I offer my salutations! (1) -

Pongal Celebrations 2023 at Amritapuri Ashram
People from around the world celebrated Pongal in Amritapuri, which this year is from January 15-18. Originating from Tamil tradition, Pongal is a harvest festival to thank the Sun, Mother Nature, and the farm animals that support humankind’s food chain and ecological relationships. It marks the beginning of the Tamil month of Thai, which is considered an auspicious time. Pongal is also the name of the dish made and eaten during the ceremonies. It is a mixture of boiled sweet rice and derived from the Tamil word pongu, which means “to boil over”.
