    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”.

    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.

    Renowned #Ayurveda Physician Padma Bhushan Shri. P.K. Warrier is no more. The entire #Amrita family pays tribute to vaidyaratnam P. K. Warrier. He had a deep connection with Amma

    On January 6,2006 #Amma was accorded a public reception at Kottakal. Warrier welcomed Amma to Kottakal by offering Purnakumbham! He respectfully guided Amma to the stage and joined Amma in the distribution of Amrita Niddhi pension to the poor and needy. Upon his request, Amma visited his house after the program.
    He garlanded Amma and cordially welcomed Amma. His entire family received Amma’s darshan on that occasion.

    “Saddened to hear the passing away of Dr. PK Warrier. His contributions to popularise traditional Ayurveda will always be remembered. Ayurveda was not just a treatment for him but was a contemplation. Sincerely praying that his soul gets liberated.” said Swami Amritaswarupananda, VIce-Chairman of the Mata #Amritanandamayi Math

    He was the chief physician and Managing Trustee of Vaidyaratnam P.S. Varier’s Aryavaidya Sala known as Kottakkal Aryavaidya Sala, one of the leading Ayurvedic healthcare chains in the country. He breathed his last five weeks after celebrating his 100th birthday.

    He won the Kerala Sahitya Akademi award for biography and autobiography in 2008 for his book ‘Smriti Parvam’. He was a recipient of the Padma Bhushan in 2010 and a Padma Sri in 1999. Calicut University honored him with a DLitt in 1999. He has many honorary degrees to his credit, including a Doctor of Medicine award from the University of Copenhagen.

  • Amma, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi remembers Swami Prakashananda of Sivagiri Math

    Amma, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi remembers Swami Prakashananda of Sivagiri Math

    Swami #Prakasananda was a beacon of light in our spiritual and social spheres. With his samadhi, we have lost a social-reformer and a noble and ascetic saint. He followed the path of Gurudevan, filled with self-sacrificing intellect. Whenever he had to raise his voice against iniquity and injustice, Swami fearlessly did so. I used to see Swamiji once in a while throughout the year. I still remember Swamiji’s pure smile. Let us lovingly remember the soul of the pious, selfless and generous Swami on this occasion where his spirit unites with the Supreme Power. May his life inspire everyone. The light ignited by Gurudevan passed through Swamiji. May others be able to keep that light alive. May grace bless you all.

  • Goddess Kali, Corona & Rakthabeeja – Story in Sanskrit by Lalita 6yrs

    Goddess Kali, Corona & Rakthabeeja – Story in Sanskrit by Lalita 6yrs

    6 yr old Lalita from Spain tells the story of Kali Corona & Raktabeeja in Sanskrit. Lalita lives in Amma @Amma ‘s Ashram at Amritapuri Kerala.

    ===
    My name is Lalita and I live in Amma’s Ashram, Amritapuri, Kerala
    I will talk about Kali, Corona and Raktabija in Sanskrit.
    Just like the korona virus is destroying people in the world, in the olden days, there was an asura named Raktabija who created much destruction and killed so many people.

    How did the korona virus and Raktabija create destruction in the world?

    There are some similarities between the two.
    Both of them spread very fast in the world.

    Once Brahma deva gave a boon to Raktabija.
    If one drop of his blood would fall on the earth, thousands of Raktabijas would emerge from that.
    So there was nobody capable of killing him.

    But the Goddess Kali is all-powerful to do anything including the curing of diseases.

    Consequently, there was a war between Kali and Raktabija.
    Raktabija got many injuries all over the body.
    But Kali drank up all the drops of blood.
    No drop of blood fell on earth.
    Like this Kali killed Raktabija.

    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.
