This Amritavarsham we were fortunate to witness the release of four new books that offer spiritual seekers and devotees an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Amma\u2019s teachings and the timeless wisdom of Sanatana Dharma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Amritaragam\u2019 authored by Swami Pranavamritananda Puri was the first publication offered to Amma. The first copy was accepted by renowned Malayali poet Prof. V. Madhusoodanan Nair<\/a>, who was also this year\u2019s Amritakeerti Puraskar recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a book about Amma\u2019s unique relationship with her ashram residents. The relationship between the Guru and disciples is beyond description. A Guru has no bias or limitations. Disciples have a sacred duty to strengthen this bond and live in alignment with the Guru\u2019s teachings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is a gift, and the Guru\u2019s guidance is the light that dispels the darkness of ignorance and self-centeredness. When this song is sung with devotion, it can inspire devotion and deepen one\u2019s love for the Guru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, Swami Jnanamritananda Puri presented two new books, \u2018Satyam Sanatanam\u2019 (English) and \u2018Ocean of Grace Volume 4\u2019, to Amma for the release. Amma handed over the first copies to the General Secretary of Akhila Kerala Dheevara Sabha, Sri V. Dinakaran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Satyam Sanatanam\u2019 is a collection of Amma\u2019s teachings on Sanatana Dharma, conveyed in her own words over time. \u2018The Ocean of Grace \u2013 Volume 4\u2019 is a collection of satsangs by devotees, delivered in the divine presence of Amma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final release was \u2018Pearls from the Infinite Wisdom \u2013 Volume 2\u2019 authored by Swami Amritachitswarupananda. Dr. P Venugopalan, renowned aattakadha writer and literary scholar, received the first copy from Amma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a continuation of the meditation on Amma\u2019s teachings and the timeless Upanishadic wisdom that began in the first volume. The primary topic here is on how to live free, being centered in our True Nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
