0974.Mata Amritanandamayi-Firm Step Towards Freedom Poem by amma and rajappa

'People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars... and they pass by themselves without wondering.”
- Saint Augustine

Freedom from desires
Giving that platform
To declare thy purpose
Of coming into this sphere
Wednesday September 1975
Mid day Sun scorching the world
You made up your mind
To throw your grace
Cool and clear perceptible as grace!
Finishing your chore
Of collecting the grace
Perchance Thy crossing
The house of thy neighbour
North of Idamannel
You, my Mother, making a stop
Srimad Bhagavatham the story of Vishnu
Being recited in length,
Standing like a pillar
Motionless listening turned enactment
The bundle of grass fell from your head
Making a rush towards the crowd
That sang His greatness
and wept for His grace
ye stood in their midst
posing as Krishna bubbling with bliss!

Skeptics of the mass as ever been on earth
Questioned that Bhava ascribing to fraud
Wanted a Miracle first time from my Mother!
Liberation thy goal, not known to ignorant
Refusing in the outset, insistence ever increasing
Ye yielded to requests of making a miracle
One time for their sake, many for ourselves,
Daring the challenge, you scheduled one miracle
Next day at the same place, thus attracting a crowd big!

The golden moment of history
Was about to be written
In your calling for a bowl
Of water from the household
Mother, you ordered one skeptic
To dip his fingers inside the small bowl
That turned into milk fresh!
People being pinched
Of the divinity of transformation
Started to take the milk as nectar!
You giving more than asked
Called another miscreant
Asking his turn of dipping fingers in the bowl,
Ah, this turned the milk into a sweet
That was panchamrutham a relish
Made of five big elements,
Milk and banana, soaked in ghee
With raw sugar and rock sugar,
Distribution was done
for the gifted mass of thousands
the vessel never turned dry
proclaiming your divinity!


Lalithambika is called Daevaesee-Lalitha Sahasranamam-607

If we refer to Adi Sankara’s Soundarya Lahar 8 th slogan

Sudha-sindhor madhye sura-vitapi-vati parivrte
Mani-dweepe nipo'pavana-vathi chintamani-grhe;
Shivaakare manche Parama-Shiva-paryanka-nilayam
Bhajanti tvam dhanyah katichana chid-ananda-laharim.


The connotation is divine:

Jaganmatha is is visualized in the middle of the great sea of nectar, in an island of very precious gems;
The island is surrounded by the Kalpaga Vriksha tree—the wish giving tree; seated on the lap of Lord Parama Shiva, in the place housing gem of thoughts, She reverberates as a tide in the sea which is the ultimate truth;

Sankara says this: She is worshipped only by selective holy men

By saying this sankara gives the feeling that even though we, normal human beings are filled with sin, once we surrender unto Her, we become holy

Who can say with this authority other than Sankara?

On this day of Adi Guru Pournima day, I pray for all Her children; May Parameswari in the form of Amma shower peace and harmony on Her children
