Mangaluru: Thousands of devotees including a number of foreigners gathered at the Amrita Vidyalayam Grounds Boloor to visit and seek blessings from the Hugging Saint ‘Amma’, here on January 9. The programme “Brahmasthana Mahothsava 2016” and “Amritasangama 2016” was organized by Mata Amritanandamayi Math.
Bhajan’s were held in the morning. All the devotees welcomed Amma to the dais. The programme began with an invocation. President of Mata Amritanandamayi Math Shruthi Hegde welcomed the gathering. Later Amma met the devotees and hugged them. Many prominent personalities visited Amma and sought her blessings.
Dharmadhikari Shri Kshethra Dharmsthala Padma Vibhushan Rajarshi Dr D Veerendra Heggade garlanded Amma and sought her blessings. Scholarships were distributed to the students by Dr D Veerendra Heggade, Aqua Guard water purifier systems worth Rs 9000 were aslo distributed to ten local government schools on the occasion.
Addressing the gathering Dr Veerendra Heggade said, “Two months ago, when I went to Kollam along with my family, I visited Amma’s Ashram. I was shocked to see the devotees thronging to the Ashram to seek blessings from Amma. People from all walks of life visiting Amma to seek her blessings without discrimination of caste creed and religion. All the devotees got divine blessings through Anmma. In our country the relationship between devotees and God is unique.
He further said that we have to respect Guru (teacher) because teacher is a person who teaches us about God. Amma respects all the people. Most of us are deprived from mother’s love. To take us near to God we have to respect the Guru and this is what Amma teaches us. In this modern world there is lack of relationship between mother and child due to materialism, poverty and the working system. The state government and central government is bringing awareness among the mothers to breast feed their children to strengthen the bond between mother and child.
He also said that if you serve the poor and the downtrodden that is the best way to heaven. Amma is here to show us the way to heaven. She is taking all our problems because she has special regards towards her devotees. Amma’s Love and empathy crosses all barriers of nationality, race, caste and religion, resulting in a host of charitable activities. Amma has over the years been preaching, practicing and showering bountiful affection, love, compassion and kindness to all mankind and that has justly earned her the epithet of ‘Universal Amma’.
Amma addressing the devotees said that smile is music of the soul, and whatever comes in life should be accepted with a smile. “We should think positively. Our anger, jealousy, pride makes us sick and it affects our body as well as mind. This world is a beautiful garden for human beings and animals. God has created everything and given us the responsibility to safeguard it. He has created animals that are not intelligent like us, but they do not go against the creator.” She further said that in this modern era we have forgotten the meaning of love and humanity. We now see more of enmity, corruption and hatred in our everyday life. If we control our emotions, anger and anxiety and live with unity this world will be a better place to live in, she said.
MLA of Mangaluru J R Lobo, MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, Ajith Kumar Rai Maladi, Former MLA Yogish Bhat, Manohar Prasad, Chief Manager Karnataka Bank Srinivas Deshpande and others were also present.
Hey Yumreeki Rampai,
Did you get your huggy-kissy?
Amma’s love towards mankind is unconditional. The true meaning of Love is Amma’s Love to the mankind. Thats what our sages told Love is God. I really very much happy to see Dr. Veerendra Heggade in Amma’s function in Mangalore. The people who experienced her love will understand this. I think she is reincarnation of Matha Sharada Devi. She proved herself the real Jnana comes from spirituality not from materialistic education… Jai Maa… there are no words to define my Beloved Amma…
Amma’s love towards mankind is unconditional. The true meaning of Love is Amma’s Love to the mankind. -Ms.Kumuda Gatty Respected madam, For entire mankind only unconditional love is from their own biological parents. They are always with you any circumstances. There is no comparison to the parents with this man made ‘Amma’. With the absence of tough Anti superstition laws the void is filled by Amma,Baba,tantrik etc. who exploit the innocents day in and out. A former close aide of spiritual leader Mata Amritanandamayi has come out with a book which narrates tales of alleged sexual exploitation and abuse in… Read more »
