    Matru Panchakam – Verse 1 – Praising Motherhood – Swami Pranavamritananda

    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)

It is a mixture of boiled sweet rice and derived from the Tamil word pongu, which means “to boil over”.

    Transform our life into Siva – Sivaratri Celebrations 2022 at Amritapuri Ashram – Highlights

    Keeping awake is symbolic of the kind of awareness and oneness of purpose that a spiritual aspirant needs to reach the goal. He cannot afford to be slack even for a moment.

    Shiva is the Supreme Consciousness that illuminates the three states of waking, dreaming and deep sleep. Offering the threefold Bilwa leaves to the Shivalinga heralds the return to a level of consciousness beyond the three states, which is the fourth state, Turiya. The dawning of that state is consonant with the awakening of the individual.

    കണ്ണൻ മെല്ലെ വരുന്നുേണ്ടേ
    പുഞ്ചിരി തൂകി വരുന്നുണ്ടേ
    കൈയ്യിലൊരോടക്കുഴലുണ്ടേ
    കൂട്ടിനു ഗോപരുമുണ്ടെന്നേ
    കാലികൾ മേഞ്ഞുകഴിഞ്ഞെത്തി
    ഗോപന്മാർക്കു വിശപ്പായി
    കണ്ണനു വേണം നറുവെണ്ണ
    കാച്ചിയ പാലും ആവോളം
    കണ്ണൻ കാട്ടും കുസൃതി കളാൽ
    ഗോപികൾ വെണ്ണയൊളി പ്പിച്ചേ
    ഉറിയിൽ കെട്ടി തൂക്കീട്ടേ
    പലകാര്യങ്ങളിലേർപ്പെട്ടേ
    ഗോപികളറിയാതൊരു വീട്ടിൽ
    കണ്ണൻ കയറി കൂട്ടരുമായ്
    ഗോപന്മാരൊരു ഗോപുരമായ്
    കണ്ണൻ വെണ്ണ വിളമ്പീലോ
    ഗോപീ ഹൃദയം കവരാനായ്
    കാട്ടിയ ലീലകൾ പലതല്ലോ
    ജീവനു മോക്ഷ ഗതിയ്ക്കായി
    ഹൃദയനിവാസി കണ്ണനവൻ.

    A monthly birthday is traditionally observed in India based on the moon’s position at the time of birth. The moon returns to this spot in the heavens, approximately every 28 days. Karthika is the Nakshatra – star constellation- in which the moon was transiting at the time of Amma’s birth. As such every month on the day of Karthika, we honor Amma’s birth with a puja.

  • Sunday Meditation Retreats for Renunciates at Amritapuri Ashram

    Sunday Meditation Retreats for Renunciates at Amritapuri Ashram

    Every Sunday, the Sevaks, Brahmacharis and Sannyasis attend a 7hour long Meditation Retreat. Trainings in various #meditation techniques, #japa and #sadhana are instructed.

    As Amma always reminds us that mastering our minds is the way to eternal bliss, it is very important to learn techniques that helps us to improve our concentration.

    “Meditation is remembrance of God, constant and loving remembrance. Consider Him as your beloved or just consider yourself as His child. Or consider Him as your father or mother. Simply try to think of Him just as we think of our father or mother or beloved. How does a lover remember his beloved? Certainly not by sitting in lotus posture. The remembrance simply happens in him while he is lying down, walking or sitting on the banks of a river, or it may happen while he is at work. It does not matter where he is or what he is doing. Likewise, remember your beloved deity whenever you can no matter where you are or what you are doing.”
    Amma
