Guru Poornima, My Paradise!! - from a devotee


Guru Poornima, My Paradise!!


My dearest Amma,



When you proposed the question of my experience that night of Guru Poornima, I was awestruck with no words. What will I tell and how? You know what? Every moment with you is thrilling and enthralling. 

 


On the day, I was finely late in the morning but since the moment I entered, that level of being late anxiety was already gone. It's the magic of the peetham adding more fragrance with your due presence. With the usual traditional tour of all Gods and prayers, I entered the kudil, where I saw 100s of heads aligned together the only reason being japa with a pin drop silence. 

If this is not discipline then what is..!!

I saw flowers everywhere, but the environment was adorn with vibrant of Shiva. What more one like me could as for ma. Such an ecstasy.























When I opened my eyes, I was summoned for Ambal aarati. 

 
She is yet another..!! 
 

She never failed to astonish me each time I see her. Her smile is soft enough to live the life for.



Before I could arrest her into my iris, I was summoned again by the beautiful voice that rendered a delightful song which is all my strength. It pulled me and by the time I reached, alas, I was late again. As usual, my Amma, with a great smile and a cute sarcasm of my late, welcomed and introduced me to the explanation of madalam. 


The AUM and SIVOHAM. wow. It felt truly cosmic. AMMA, anyone can form a group, BUT IT TAKES A GREAT LEADER TO GUIDE AND GUARD THEM.





Then comes the nature walk to get a devoted tree.

Amma, the night of Guru Poornima, I had the 'Ishta Vriksha' on my dream and we literally spoke to one another. Absolutely no words than being astound. 

When you mentioned about the nature walk as your favourite, only then I realised.. ‘ah yes!! That's the one..!! How did I miss it?’


After a big lunch, you intentionally chose the time for pranayam practice, so that while doing Bala Japa, none should fall asleep ;) isnt that perfect Amma? You know every single devotee of yours. 




Shivan aarati - Amma, how else would I even begin to explain the elation of Shiva. There are a lot of things within me which none can understand or probably I don't show to anyone. I talk to you with all my soul. When u took the elevation of the bhajan, Kaashi Vishwanatha Gange... 

Balamma, the vibration was so strong and intense that it pulled out tears in me. I cried out loud. Cried my heart out.



Amma, If it is humanly possible to thank you, then I choose every single medium to express my gratitude.

Love you for a million years, and for a million more.



People say beauty lies is the eyes of the beholder. With you, there is no such limit called beauty. It is always bliss.











 
seeking your blessings as always,

Santhoshi.
