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 […]
Beauty in Amritapuri Ashram
Vedic Astrology in Amritapuri
Tabla and Om Namah Shivaya
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 […]
Palmistry and Beach Lecture
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 […]
Secret Darshan Mantra 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 […]

Compost Seva at the Ashram
Travel Day 936 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA After my quite disappointing and somewhat mechanical hugging experience yesterday, today was finally my day of getting involved and doing my Seva at the compost plant… Again I didn’t make it out of bed for the early morning program, because I ended up watching Amma doing her […]
Darshan from the Hugging-Amma
Travel Day 935 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA After a good night of rest while skipping the entire morning program, the world looked different again and I decided to give this Ashram a real chance… For me personally giving the ashram a chance meant staying for a little while longer, getting involved in the community […]
Mata Amritanandamayi Math
