HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM AMRITAPURI

Amma blesses the Christmas cake, Amritapuri Ashram

We were delighted to find that Amma broadcasted LIVE the annual Christmas program from her Amritapuri Ashram in South India today!

We were treated to traditional Indian dances and some wonderful skits put on by the ashram residents. We could see Amma sitting in her chair in the middle of the hall watching the program, while surrounded by all the little children who live at the ashram, or who are visiting.

At the end of the program, Amma sang some rousing bhajans, ending with the grand finale of Mata Rani Ki Jai–with everyone standing and calling out in unison, Jai!

It was a wonderful occasion and thousands of international visitors are now staying at the ashram for the holidays.

May you and yours have the happiest of holidays!

Om Amriteshwaryai Namah.
