Anni’s Dairy Jokes
Dearest Friends and Family,            We found some hilarious jokes in Anni’s diary which we wanted to share…On tours stops in India, and sometimes elsewhere, Amma occasionally will ask for a joke. While we never had the chance to give Her any, we wanted to be prepared. Trying to keep a ready repertoire of jokes […]

Amma used to adapt the bhav or attitudinal vibration of Krishna when she first began public darshans. Seeing her in that mood, people felt she was genuinely entranced […]
