The New Year is a time of celebration and excitement. There is nothing wrong with rejoicing—happiness is our birthright, and celebration reflects optimism and self-confidence. Yet our celebrations should be refined, cultured. Along with celebration, we need awareness.

Yoga is not merely a one- or two-hour exercise routine. It is a holistic way of life rooted in moral values. Since human nature is fundamentally the same everywhere, yoga can be adopted universally—irrespective of caste, religion, or nationality. ~ #Amma

Going to @AMRITAedu Ettimadai tomorrow to speak to teachers at a residential cultural retreat on Indian Knowledge Systems—its relevance in today’s academia. My session: "How to Be a Good Student?" Rooted in timeless wisdom of Bhagavad #Gita.

After Darshan, Meditation and Satsang Amma started the evening bhajans with “sankara nandana“ at Amritapuri Ashram

Red and yellow blooms
On the trunk of a tree tall,
Ashoka, sorrowless.

മക്കളേ, സാധുക്കളോടുള്ള കരുണയാണു് ഈശ്വരനോടുള്ള കടമ. നമ്മൾ ചായത്തെ സ്നേഹിക്കും; ചൈതന്യത്തെ സ്നേഹിക്കുകയില്ല. ചായത്തെ പൂജിക്കും; ചൈതന്യത്തെ പട്ടിണിക്കിടും. ഭഗവാൻറെ ചിത്രത്തിന് പാലും, പാല്പായസവും നിവേദിക്കും. വിശന്നുപൊരിയുന്ന ഭിക്ഷക്കാരന് ഒരു നേരത്തെ ആഹാരം കൂടി നൽകുകയില്ല.
'കൃഷ്ണാ, കൃഷ്ണാ' എന്നുവിളിച്ച് അമ്പലത്തിനു വലത്തിട്ട്, വാതില്ക്കൽ നില്ക്കുന്ന ഭിക്ഷക്കാരനെ ചവിട്ടും. അതല്ല ഭക്‌തി.

Our tendency is to become like a judge when it comes to others’ flaws, but to argue like a lawyer when it comes to our own. Instead, we should try to correct our faults, just as we look into a mirror to clean our face.

”Even though centuries have passed since Sri Sankara’s birth, his life and profound teachings ignite a brilliant flame of inspiration in the hearts of countless souls. He was not only a self-realized master but also an unparalleled scholar and intellectual genius.

അമൃതമശ്നുതേ:
അമൃതത്വം എന്ന് പറയുന്നത്, തന്നെ പ്രാപിക്കുന്ന ഒന്നാണ്, അല്ലാതെ താൻ പ്രാപിക്കുന്ന ഒന്നല്ല.

Amma’s heart goes out to those who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terrorist attack, where innocent people were brutally massacred in front of their own families. Let us join together in heartfelt prayers for strength and solace to their loved ones.
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः

On Patham Udayam—the tenth sunrise of Medam, Amritapuri Ashram residents planted jasmine saplings.
The flowers from these gardens are intended for Daily Puja at the Ashrams and for Amma’s Arathi, performed every day following the Bhajans.

#PathamUdayam #Amritapuri

Nurtures and nourishes,
Supports and carries through life,
Mother Earth, so kind.

Mind vast and open,
Unreal when enquired deep
Like the vast blue sky

ॐ लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनो भवन्तु ॥
