(My uncle  Sri  APS  Krishnan  is a great devotee  of Amma  and stays  in her Ashram .Recently he gave  several  talks  about Amma  in the Ashram .This is my poem  based on those  great  Lectures)

 

There  is a great  mother  in Kerala,

And she  hugs  everyone, who comes  to meet her

And  everytime   she   transfers   nectar like joy

And  she  is called the  pervader  of  nectar  and joy

 

Once    not very  long ago , a  youth of musical  family,

Was bed ridden  and   was suffering a lot

And  he was  taken  in a stretcher  to Amma when  she came to chennai

Amma  applied  ash all over  him  and  he was cured immediately

 

Another time  a christian  lady   devotee

Of Amma brought  her  child   who did not talk

Amma   laughed  and told , He does  talk

And asked  him his name , he  told it correctly

 

One mister  nair  had a  tumour on his  forehead

Amma  told him to get  it operated but  he did not agree

And went  back to his home  and  felt sad that amma

Did not help him , and next day  morning   the tumour  vanished

 

Another  girl in Mumbai   was  misshaped  and  no boy,

Agreed  to marry her and she one day  dreamt   , Amma

Who told her  that she will be soon  married and though

The family laughed at her  , soon a boy   came  and married her

 

Another  devotee of her was told  that  due  to  a black spot

In his face  , he  would suffer  a lot  but  amma  would take  care of him

And soon  he   was    involved   in a  major accident  and  when  Amma

Met him she smiled  and told , “Did not  I take  care  of you?”

 

A sceptic   friend   said   on seeing Amma  that  ,everything

Should be taken  with pinch of salt but later  he used  to,

Enter  in to a trance   during amma’s bhajan,  he met  with accident

And died , but  always   Amma told  he is not dead   but is with her

 

A devotee’s grand  son  got  affected  by cancer  and

By  just  a look  , Amma   said  he  will not survive .

And she asked  him  whether  he had  a sister,

When said no , she blessed and  that  sibling  is doing great

 

A devotee    had  to  undergo  operations  to get

Cured  of his  eye problem    and   was  nervous

And greatly  worried and  he saw by his side ,

Of the  operating table  Amma  standing

 

That mother  always  felt  that  , all  who come

To see  her  , were  her  children  and she hugged  them

And  also blessed  them   to live  a life of  endless joy

And  that  hugging saint  was called  Amritha Ananda Mayi
