2006 Tour - Columbus, OH
May 31, 2006
Amma's path is sprinkled with flower petals as she enters the hall
Amma stops to bless some devotees
Amma is welcomed to Columbus with an auspicious dance performance
All of the sacred dance postures come from Lord Siva Himself,
and they are designed to channel different kinds of cosmic energy
Amma is presented with a special award of appreciation
from the Ohio state government
Amma smiles at the main dancer, who has taken the role of
Siva Nataraja, the Lord of Sacred Dance
Amma shares her wisdom and inspiration
Amma's divine discourse
Amma often says that a life of truth and dharma becomes like a path of
soft,
tender flower petals, like the one seen here leading to our beloved Amma
Amma leads a special meditation for individual and world peace
All are instructed to raise their hands while chanting
Raising the palms to the sky allows us to absorb divine energy
from the cosmos, thus increasing our spiritual radiance
Amma gives divine humanitarian love
and healing
to all her beloved children
Amma places the sacred vibhuti on the third eye, the ajna chakra
Amma distributes baby trees, asking her children to plant them in their yards -
it is very good to plant trees, especially fruit-bearing ones
Everyone waits patiently for their turn to receive Amma's personal blessing
Amma smiles with delight at a devotee
