In this thought-provoking video, Amma shares stories and analogies that teach us the importance of perspective in how we see the world around us. From the skilled eye of an āyurvedic doctor recognizing medicinal herbs in a field of grass to a sculptor finding beauty in a piece of granite, Amma illustrates that value is often determined by the knowledge and understanding of the beholder. She explains how our perceptions can lead us to assign worth or fault to people and objects based on our own biases and preconceptions.

Amma emphasizes the need to look within ourselves rather than judging others hastily based on hearsay or prejudice. She urges us to speak lovingly, correct others gently when necessary, and uphold dharma by pointing out wrongdoing without creating further harm. By changing our perspective, we can transform our lives, find deeper meaning, and contribute to a more compassionate world.

Join us as we explore these timeless lessons on perception and learn how to develop a more balanced and empathetic view of the world around us.

Amritapuri celebrated Sri Krishna Jayanti with a variety of programs. The day began at 8 a.m. with devotional chanting (Nama Sankirtanam) followed by Go Puja (cow worship). In the afternoon, at 3 p.m., a grand procession took place at the ashram, where many children, including foreigners, dressed up as Krishna and Radha. The evening festivities included traditional games like Uriyadi, cultural programs, bhajans, and at 11:30 p.m., a Balagopala Puja, Bhagavata recitation, and prasadam distribution, all in the divine presence of our beloved Amma.

In her Sri Krishna Jayanti message, Amma said, “The word kṛṣṇa means ‘one who attracts and gives joy.’ From the moment Kṛṣṇa took birth in Kamsa’s dungeon to the moment he ascended to heaven, all his actions were heart-captivating. His actions uplifted and gave enormous joy to humans. Kṛṣṇa was a purṇāvatāra—a complete and perfect incarnation.

“His life had the splendor of the peacock feather, the perfect harmony of the songs flowing out of his flute, and the purity of the Tulasi leaf. Kṛṣṇa’s life was a commentary on the Vedāntic principles and an interpretation of the dharma that befitted the age. Interaction with Bhagavān became a yoga—divine union—for everyone.

“Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s life was a flow. In the grand flow of his life, he did not reject any part or role assigned to him. He fully immersed himself in every role he undertook and played it to perfection. This is why he was able to face every circumstance with a smile.”

In this thought-provoking video, Amma delves into the essence of true devotion and the transformative power of complete surrender. Reflecting on the impact of COVID-19, Amma illustrates how, despite being surrounded by people, many of us live in isolation—seeking worldly gains rather than true connection with the divine. She explains that for many, God is merely a means to achieve material desires, but real devotion begins when we surrender completely to God’s will, making Him both the means and the goal.

Through the story of Kuchela, Kṛṣṇa’s impoverished childhood friend, Amma demonstrates how selfless love and complete surrender to the divine can lead to unimaginable blessings. Kuchela, who offered the Lord nothing but his love and humility, was transformed from a poor man into a figure of immense wealth by Kṛṣṇa’s grace. Amma emphasizes that when we let go of our ego and worldly desires, we open ourselves to the boundless grace of the divine, turning our lives from nothing into everything.

Join us to explore these profound teachings and learn how to cultivate true devotion, where surrender and divine love lead to the ultimate fulfillment.
