2006 Tour - New York Meditation Retreat
May 28, 2006

Amma joyfully greets all the sadhakas as she enters the hall

Our beloved Amma, smiling sweetly at her children

Amma teaches everyone a special technique from Sri Vidya - the technique
allows one to
draw positive energy from Mother Earth, thus
strengthening the
very important muladhara chakra

All are blessed to meditate in Amma's divine presence

Renee Lobo from ITV Television interviews Amma, discussing such topics as Amma's charities, the power of Sri Gayatri and Sri Mrutyunjaya Mantras,
and how world peace can be achieved

Some have traveled from as far away as England for
the chance to be in Amma's presence

Amma's divine discourse, in which she discussed the glory of
Divine Mother and the spiritual significance of many
names from
Sri Lalita Sahasranama - The Thousand Names of Sri Lalita

Sacred arati flames are offered to Amma
Amma, may the light of our souls be joined to Your Supreme Light!

Ms. Bhanu Dwarika of the Asian Heritage Committee in Manhattan District DC 37 presented Amma with a plaque in appreciation for Amma's contributions to humanity.

After a golden day of meditating in Amma's presence, all have the
chance to receive Amma's personal blessing

Amma applies auspicious kumkum to everyone's third eye - the kumkum has been sanctified by being offered to Divine Mother with the chanting of Sri Lalita Sahasranama

Amma initiates a young boy into the sacred Sri Saraswati Mantra by writing the mantra on his tongue with a tulasi twig dipped in honey - how fortunate to receive Amma's special blessings at such a tender age
