There is no one else in this world for these poor, helpless children other than you, love embodied in a beautiful form,&#8221; said Swamiji as he translated some phrases from the Malayalam bhajan, kattidu-kamme i komala-vigraham.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmma says she flows like a river. There is no effort. From Amma\u2019s level of consciousness, it means giving. Giving and giving and giving and never taking back. There is no doership. Amma remains as she is, and this is love in the highest form,\u201d continued Swamiji.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLove is both tangible and a presence. And when it is transformed to a presence, it becomes all-pervasive. Amma\u2019s beautiful form is our form of meditation. Only Amma can take care of her body, can protect her body. However, Amma will definitely listen to the prayers of her children. The loving prayers, sincere prayers, wholehearted prayers, of her children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Watch Swami Amritaswarupananda&#8217;s full address.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9Ur_UmnzYy8?si=T3DSk8v5XzNLm0Ga\" width=\"560\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before Amma\u2019s arrival, Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri delivered a satsang, expressing his deep devotion to the undivided consciousness and pure bliss that incarnated on this Earth in Amma\u2019s form 71 years ago.
