Travel Day 956 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA While my day still revolved a fair bit around the fact that I never finished packing and re-organizing my backpack yesterday, I also couldn’t help and reminisce about my time in the Amritapuri Ashram… Initially I wanted to leave the ashram in the afternoon today while taking […]
Travel Day 955 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA It was finally time to start packing up my bag and hitting the road again, but since I had to do a little purge of my belongings, this day became finally a Travel Sunday… But first I started my day quite early again with a 4.30am rise […]
Travel Day 954 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA With Amma gone and with more time on my hand, I decided to join some of the remaining program that I was never able to join before… Participating in the morning Archana was my very first goal and even if I had bought the book a long time […]
Travel Day 953 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA After saying good-bye to Amma yesterday after the Bhajans, the ashram felt all of a sudden strangely empty… But before I started my day at the ashram, I went for another morning run and this time in the other direction. I was running up the coast first, […]
Travel Day 952 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA Today I woke up with a strange feeling and after being in the ashram for almost three weeks, I knew exactly what this feeling was. I was feeling restless… The past three weeks had been great at the ashram and I had been doing a lot, learning […]
Travel Day 951 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA Unfortunately I never managed to see the sunrise after Shivarati as Amma’s dancing ended around 1am and while sitting at the beach and watching the stars, I fell asleep by about 3am… So this morning started obviously rather slowly, but since it was the second to last […]
Travel Day 950 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA Today was Sunday, it was also the last Darshan day before Amma would go on tour and it was Shivaratri… So far I managed to time my visit in Amritapuri pretty well in terms of being here during the same time as Amma was. But on Wednesday […]
Travel Day 945 to 949 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA After developing more of a routine feeling in the Ashram, my last couple of days just flew by in no time at all. But a few things that lay beyond my regular routine seemed still worth mentioning… First I went to back to Amma to […]
Travel Day 944 to – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA I had been in the ashram for about 10 days by now and finally some sort of routine started to set in… Well, it wasn’t so much of a routine where every day was the same, but rather I was finally feeling more and more comfortable […]
Travel Day 943 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA Today was an interesting day, but it seemed that lately every single day was interesting for one reason or another… In order to try something new, I got up early and joined the Tai Chi morning class. It was held in one of the gardens by the […]
Travel Day 942 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA It was funny but it seemed that I was finally getting quite comfortable here and I even didn’t oppose to saying ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ any more… When I first arrived, I felt a bit out-of-place while seeing that everyone was wearing white clothes only and responding to […]
Travel Day 941 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA After finishing my meditation class and receiving my secret mantra yesterday, the world looked quite different again this morning… Well, this was also due to the fact that my finger was slowly getting better and I could finally practice some Tabla again. So I started my day […]
Travel Day 940 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA It was the second day of the IAM Technique class and we were once more learning more about Amma’s meditation style… The main advantage of following closely the guided steps was apparently that the technique was developed and blessed by a realized master and thus could significantly […]
