If we are not able to fix the Lord firmly in our hearts, even a lifetime of temple-going does not do us any good.
Mata AmritanandamayiWe are not isolated islands, we are connected links in a chain. Each kind word, each smiling face, each good action, benefits our neighbor, nation, world. Let us pray and meditate together and we shall reach the shore of peace, spreading the sweet holy fragrance of love and vibrations of unity and harmony. Tuning our minds to the supreme consciousness, let us open our hearts and chant the words, "May everyone everywhere be happy."
Mata AmritanandamayiToo much concern about physical security and too little concern about spirituality is the hallmark of today's world.
Mata AmritanandamayiChant your mantra while engaged in work. This way, the mind will be continuously focused on Him.
Mata AmritanandamayiChildren, set aside at least half an hour in the morning and in the evening for spiritual practices. After bathing in the morning, a family should sit together and worship. Archana may be performed by chanting the 108 or 1000 Names of Devi or our chosen deity. We can also chant our mantra, meditate or sing hymns at this time.
