PUNE: It was an evening of joy and spiritual bliss for

thousands of people, who flocked to the Annasaheb

magar stadium, Pimpri on Sunday to listen to spiritual

leader Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (popularly known as

Amma).

 

The evening programme began with a soulful rendering

of bhajans. People representing various communities,

cultures and countries joined in the chants. Clapping

and smiling and joining the chorus was Amma.

 

Speaking to TNN, on the sidelines of the event, Ashok

Sargar, a follower and senior volunteer, said, "One

cannot describe the joy of listening to her

discourses. It is something to be cherished for a

lifetime."

 

Sheetal Mule, another devout follower, claimed a

meeting with Amma, 10 years ago, cured her of asthma.

Known as much for her quick repartee, as for her

compassion, Amma on Sunday prayed for, spiritual

enlightenment of all those caught up in fast-paced

lifestyles.

 

"Love expressed through words and deeds is compassion.

Hence when a person is full of love and compassion, he

or she cannot be biased. He/she simply forgives and

forgets. Compassion is love expressed in fullness,"

she said.

 

The Mata Amritanandamayi Devi Math has been involved

in several welfare projects, such as monthly pensions

to destitute women and free medical treatment and

rehabilitation for slum dwellers at Ajanta Nagar,

Chinchwad.

 

As a token of its appreciation, the Pimpri Chinchwad

Municipal Corporation (PCMC) presented a plaque of

honour to Amma on Sunday.

 

She will have two more interfaces with her followers

at her Math at Yamunanagar, Nigdi on March 1 ( 6.30 pm

) and March 2 ( 12 noon ).
