Amma’s 2024 USA Tour

Amma in Albuquerque, New Mexico, July 21, 2024

Om Amriteshwaryai Namah.

Amma has been traveling on her 2024 USA Tour which began in Seattle, Washington on July 4, 2024. She then went on to Oakland, Los Angeles and Albuquerque, New Mexico where Guru Purnima was celebrated on July 21, 2024. It is a rare event to be able to be with one’s Satguru on the auspicious day of Guru Purnima.

Here is an excerpt from Amma’s Guru Purnima message:

“Our relationship with the guru is our unity with our higher nature. This is why the spiritual path is a journey towards our own True Self. It is the royal path to permanent freedom. Instead of wasting time trying to understand every aspect of it, let us strive to bring this human life to its complete fulfillment. May divine grace bless my children to achieve this.” Amma

Guru Purnima was also celebrated at Amma’s Amritapuri Ashram in Kerala, India. Here is a beautiful video clip of the ceremony led by Swami Turiyamritananda Puri, one of Amma’s senior disciples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=86&v=rLGCIdDgj2M&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Famma.org%2F&source_ve_path=Mjg2Nj

Amma’s tour continued on to Washington D.C. where she will give public programs and a retreat. The tour will also include New York City and Boston and will culminate in Chicago. For more information about Amma’s USA tour visit: https://us.amma.org/meeting-amma/ammas-north-america-tour

Are you Awake?

Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, “Amma the Hugging Saint”

ARE YOU AWAKE?

Are you awake in your spiritual life or are you sleepwalking?

Are you on the path?

Do you recognize that you are here on earth for a reason, a higher purpose?

What is your higher purpose?

Is it to be a doctor, a musician, a nurse, a teacher? Is it to be a husband, wife, partner, parent?

Or is it something even greater?

Do you know that you have come from the Light, from the Divine, to bring Love, Light and Peace to the world?

Do you know?

Do you know that your true purpose is to find your greater Self? The part of you that is Divine? The part of you is fully enlivened with Divine Light? The part of you that is beyond your physical body, beyond your mind, even beyond your soul?

Do you know that you are here to fully awaken?

To attain Enlightenment?

Do you know?

Your Path to Enlightenment

Om…

I would like to encourage you to take the first step, or if already on the spiritual path, to take the next step toward your own Enlightenment. Each one of us is here for an important reason. We have come to earth, not by chance, but by our own conscious choice.

     Ask yourself the following questions:

     Why are you here? 

     What have you come for?

     What is the meaning and your purpose here on earth?

     Is there a greater reality? 

Seeking answers to these questions can lead a person to begin a Spiritual Journey, one of healing, transformation and personal awakening. A Path of Enlightenment. The most important thing you can realize in this lifetime is that you are Divine. You have come to earth for a reason. You are part of a bigger plan to help bring spiritual light to earth. It is time for each of us to remember. To awaken. To bring forth that which is our true nature, our True Self and bring it fully into manifestation while we are here incarnate.

Wake Up, the Time is Now!

At this amazing time, there is an unprecedented movement on the planet. Millions of people are beginning to “Wake Up” spiritually and find their True or Divine Self and the reason they have come to Earth at this time. The Enlightened Masters are here to lead us, to help us find the way to enlightenment and to restore the Dharma of this world. In each of our souls there is a part of us that remembers, a part of us that “knows” why we are here and why we have taken birth at this time.

WAKE UP, THE TIME IS NOW!

My Spiritual Journey, Spiritual Awakening

WHY ARE WE HERE?

Have you ever wondered why we are here on this Earth?

Can it be that we are here for more than just getting an education so we can then find a good job to support ourselves and our family?  Are we here to be a parent,  a Mother, Father or a Child? Grandfather or Grandmother? Aunt, Uncle or Cousin?   Are we here to be a Doctor, Nurse, Engineer, Teacher or Scientist?

Could it be that our purpose here on Earth is something more than just the day to day responsibilities and challenges in life we all have?

When we step back from the busy schedules and myriad activities we have each chosen for ourselves and begin to look at our lives from a different perspective, can we see that there may be a greater reason for taking birth on this Earth plane?

What could our purpose be for being on Earth?

This is the question of our lifetime. A question so important that it cannot be ignored or pushed aside.

I think that if each person will look deeply inside them-self they might find the answer, an important answer that will take them to a higher plane of existence, to a greater realm of existence,  to that of their Higher Self, to their own ENLIGHTENMENT.

INNER PEACE

Inner Peace…

I have seen that many people are losing their Peace.  It is important to always find a balance within oneself.

The world outside will constantly be in flux, in turmoil, in activity.  If we continue to focus our attention there we will lose our Inner Peace.

In order to find Inner Peace we must find time each day to be still, quiet, contemplative.

Some find this time during a quiet walk alone. Others through meditation. Some do Tai Chi, yoga or breathing. Some sit and behold a sunrise or sunset and contemplate its beauty. Some find nature will bring stillness and quietude within.

It is important for each person to go inside oneself and reconnect with the beautiful spirit that they are and always have been.   Release the chaos of the outside world and find the Inner world of Love, Light, Compassion and Peace.

Be Still Now.

HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE…

MAY 23, 2023

The Guru of Joy, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Have you ever considered that you have a choice whether to be happy or not?

Spiritual Teacher and World Leader, His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is on a mission to teach people all over the world about Happiness.

What do all people want?  Happiness.  It is also elusive for most as the stresses and strains of the world often pull people down.  This stress leads many people to unhappiness and some even to depression.

The world is a busy place full of challenges.  How can one keep their head above water and find Happiness and Peace with never ending stress?

“Sri Sri” or “Guruji” or “Gurudev” as many call him has a solution.

Meditate.  Go deep within oneSelf.   Find Peace in the beautiful Light that you are. Find a place of Happiness within and spread that to the world.  Make a pledge to not let the smile on your face disappear no matter what comes in your life.  Bring Joy to everyone you meet.

He teaches us that we can choose to be Happy.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has been called, “The Guru of Joy”.  In his presence I found Joy that had been missing in my life for years.   He rekindled my Love, Light, Peace and Boundless Joy.

LOVE ALL PEOPLE

The Greatest Spiritual Teaching

MAY 23, 2023

The greatest Spiritual Teaching I have learned from my Spiritual Teacher, Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, “Amma” is to LOVE ALL PEOPLE.

There is no greater teaching.

We are all one, made from the same love, the same light, the same divinity.

Where ever we live, what ever we believe, how ever we pray, we are all one.

LOVE ALL PEOPLE
