Though small in scale with a solemn backdrop, Amritavarsham 71 honoured Amma with its annual traditions—traditions filled with the hope and optimism that heartfelt prayers can bring. The day began at 5 am with a Maha Ganapati Homam including prayers for the removal of obstacles across our entire world.
This was followed by chanting of the Sree Lalitha Sahasranama, 1000 names to the Divine Mother in the form of Tripura Sundari. As the ultimate power of the universe, the sacred text offers a detailed portrayal of Her divine attributes and qualities.
On regular days in Amritapuri, it is chanted every day at dawn, alongside Mata Amritanandamayi Astottara Sata Namavali – the 108 Sanskrit Names of Amma. The archanas are led by both women and men.
