0997.Mata Amritanandamayi-Unsolicited Grace Poem by amma and rajappa

I am the mother of the wicked, as I am the mother of the virtuous. Never fear. Whenever you are in distress, say to yourself, 'I have a mother.'
Shri Sarada Devi

Unsolicited Grace


Wandering monk
Roaming around Idamannel
And wondering the vision
Of meditating saints,
Fascinated Sugunanandan
Early in his youth,
Sprouted into truth
As the unfolding of a drama!

Having set the stage
Of a family of thirteen,
A crowd of people or
Crowd of emotions? !
Fear, confusion, doubt and loneliness!
A metaphorical reflection
Of the insecure soul,
You preferred the fourth
As the descendant heir!

Destining Damayanthi
To be the would-be mother
Oh my everlasting mother,
Ye entered the womb of
A devout mother,
To alleviate the pains of
Many a mother,
By assuming the powers
Of Mother of mothers!

Strange visions of thy mother
Of giving birth to Krishna and
That lovely lad lying on her lap
And her breast-feeding that mischief,
While ye formed the foetus
Of that mother so great blessed,
And the miracle vision of Devi Maa
In the wonder dream of Sugunanandan
Rang the bell so loud and wild
About the imminent arrival of Bliss
With the blended bonds of immense Love!

Again as a tribute to motherhood which Amma symbolizes, I want to present the readers the following real life stories

Incident 1) Ref: my friend Savithri:

There was a mother in Sivagangai; in the late 90’s; while crossing the road she saw a bust fast approaching; she had a child resting on her shoulders; sensing the danger she threw the child to safety but got herself badly hit by the bus and died eventually

Incident 2: Ref: Mumbai Mirror Dated Feb 15 th 2010

Mum pushes kids to safety before dying on tracks:

Shabnam Khan,25, a mother of two was run over by a local train on the tracks near Goregaon station on Friday night (12.02.2010-Maha Sivarathri day) : however Shabnam managed to push her two daughters to safetyat the last moment

My salute to both the mothers

Place may change;

Time may change;

Religion may change;

Social status may change

Colour may change

But

One thing that never changes is motherhood;

Pranams Mothers
