Thank you very much

This year Onam a Kerala afestval is on 28-81945

Amma's Onam Message,

Amritapuri witnessed a unique and unforgettable Onam celebration when

thousands of devotees, sang devotional songs and danced in tune with the

steps of their beloved mother Mata Amritanandamayi Devi. It was a moment of

fulfilment for the devotees who had gathered to receive Onam prasad from the

hands of their Spiritual Master.

 

"We celebrate Onam to commemorate a glorious past. All of us yearn for a

time like that of King Mahabali, a time when prosperity, joy and love

blended. But in order to realise this dream we need to put forward creative

and sustained effort." Amma reminded the thousands gathered in the sprawling

prayer hall.

 

"We have lost the true spirit of Onam. Let each of our actions be a yajna

for universal good. May the new clothes we wear be that of Dharma and faith.

May our hearts be united in love and joy, and make life an everlasting

Tiruvonam. Thus we can retrieve the lost Onam.

 

Life becomes a festival when gaiety and culture blend. Onam delivers the

message of both.

 

During Onam, we arrange an ornamental design of flowers from the day of

Attam. Actually this flower welcome for the Lord should be within us. The

Lord will have His dearest flower design when each and every heart resonates

with compassion and love."

 

After Amma's words of blessing, all received the Onam feast as prasad from

Her. At last came the chance of Ram, the baby elephant of the ashram. Ram's

antics as he rushed to eat the prasad from Amma's hands became another feast

for the eyes of the devotees.
