Thank you each for your warmth and friendship and welcoming ways. Anni had met my daughter Daelyn only a few times, yet she would ask about her when she saw me at the ashram. Such kind, thoughtfulness she displayed.
What moved me most was being asked to play some songs with Anni, Lincoln, Kamala and Rishikesh during a period of impending sorrow that all were going through. I was welcomed and made to feel at home…And how fortunate to have been given the opportunity to share something of my heart with so those who were close to Anni.

And how I witnessed so many ashram hearts being healed when so many came to pay homage to Annika… and how, even in her gradual passing her loving presence touched so many lives.

Rishi, Lincoln, Annika and I sang this song together and I am thankful to have been given that gift:

Salutations To The One

Salutations to the One, who shines just like the morning sun
Salutations to Her Lotus feet, Om Devyai Namaha

Without Her Grace the mind just spins…from passions to attachment again and again
Let the prayer be heard… ‘May Her Grace be here,
Let the life be healed, let the life be Whole’

Be Whole with compassion, ….let the voice of the ego fade
With compassion….let the voice of the ego fade

Om Devyai Namaha
Om Devyai Namaha

I wish to say that Annika’s passing truly touched the hearts of many Amma devotees. So many dear ones chanted the thousand names for sweet Anni….So many tears were shed…..And so many hearts were opened….for hearts do not break “closed”….but they break “open”.

Jai Ma
Chidanand Bill

I often was astounded, while being in India, seeing the old age so graciously, with such dignity, that is seldom seen in this hemisphere.

As a teacher, I understand how big a responsibility it is to mould the young minds and guide them towards the right path, the path Amma has shown us…the path of love, peace and sacrifice.
Love,
Supriya

Aunty,
i see your point of view clearly and that which you are appealing to. and i see the decreasing care for body &mind& soul here. degeneration, moral confusion, modern thinking, all there aspects surround me day by day. but this is not that which i am aligning with. New Years Eve, we had 60 guests(nearly 20) were children, 2 rounds of the 1000 Names of Sri Lalita Sahasranama Devi were chanted, Mantras were sung, people ate in communion, it was a delightful sight.
and as we touch people from all walks of life at least we can give them something to chew over.
and you Aunty! how many young people have you touched and given them a good deal to go for and to contemplate over?
