FB/AmmaChimes

We meditate on Mata Amritanandamayi, who is

robed in pure white attire, shining brilliantly,

who is ever established in Truth,

FB/AmmaChimes

..whose kind glances beam with binding love,

who is the seat of the six godly qualities, whose

divine face beams with a soft, graceful smile,

FB/AmmaChimes

..who incessantly showers the nectar of

affection, who sings the glories of God most

sweetly,

FB/AmmaChimes

..who shines with the complexion of rainclouds,

whose words are soaked in honey, who is

immortal bliss embodied, and who is the

Supreme Goddess Herself.
