The words kept repeating until I searched for them and found your web site.

“Music, children, and joy” – this is a beautiful wish, hopefully Anni can help us all come together in love, happiness and compassion. There is a sort of “wake up bell” in this song

hopefully humanity can now begin to gather in freedom, beyond the limitations of physical buildings and artificial boundaries, and healing can begin.

Light/Love/Life,
Sherri

Even though I cannot know the depth of your grief, I know that you do not cry alone, and that in crying we are transformed. Anni has always been a gift to humanity, your beautiful stories confirm that if there could be any doubt.

I cannot imagine having the kind of strength and courage that Anni showed, truly her life will continue to be an inspiration to so many. Whenever I share my limited stories and experiences I am deeply touched and can see that whoever is listening is moved by the teachings of Anni’s life. I will be sad to be in the ashram without the beauty of her love and joy radiating around but I know I will find her there still as a constant encouragement and reminder of the power of faith and love.

Thank you so much for sharing your stories and photos, and your innermost selves with us

love and gratitude

Anni was sure an angel born to a mother full of love. As Amma told, angels don’t live long. She had foreseen Anni’s early death. I remember once incident during Amma’s program. I was sitting beside Amma and then suddenly I was so much affected by Her love that tears started streaming down my eyes. I hid my face lest others see me. Later when I looked up, I noticed Anni looking towards me with the most compassionate face. I then thought, here was a girl full of love and compassion for her fellow beings. Later many times, I thought her the humblest of souls one could find around in this world. She and her brother were always full of love for the most filthy of animals. I never could find kids who were as much as devoted to Amma as them. Kamalaji, Anni is not yours alone. She belongs to all of us. Maybe, that’s why God took her away; so that we could all share her love. When I heard Anni died, I cried. Initially I was angry with Amma for taking her away. Later, I felt that Amma had Her own reasons for that. What do we mortal beings know? Anyway, Anni’s life had deeply influenced mine, just like she had changed others’ lives. Through her innocent love for this world, she made us all more compassionate souls.
