Celebrating Diwali
By Prerna Chaterjee for KidSpirit’s Rituals and Traditions issue.
The autumn sun warmed up my bare arms and legs. Looking up, I saw the turquoise sky and the ragged clouds. I walked to the other side of the terrace. The lakeside was adorned with milk-white, feather-like kaash flowers. The lake water was almost as blue as the sky, with tints of golden sunlight, gleaming like sequins on its surface. A faint sound of the drumming of dhaks came to my ears. I smiled. Today was special. It was Diwali.
Amma: The Hugging Saint
Amma, meaning "Mother," was born in India in a small fishing village in 1953. In the late 1970s, this "God-realized soul" set up an ashram in her childhood village. She is known around the world as the "hugging saint" who in one day may embrace 10,000 people. She has given 32 million hugs worldwide, according to Amanda J. Lucia's book Reflections of Amma: Devotees in a Global Embrace. In Sacred Journey, Swamini Krishnamrita Prana notes that Amma is seen by millions of devotees in India and elsewhere as the reincarnation of Ramakrishna or the incarnation of the Divine Mother Kali.
Amma is in New York City this weekend (July 5 - 7) so we are revisiting our resources about her incredible service.
